Environmental Commission To Begin Work On Suggested ‘Green Roof’ Ordinance

November 7, 2022 Environment, Environmental Commission

*Environmental Commission member Robin Suydam suggested that the Commission broaden the scope of a proposed “green roof” ordinance.*

Members of the township’s Environmental Commission will soon begin crafting a proposed ordinance that would require large new commercial buildings to have some form of “green” roof in their design.

That design could include solar or wind energy capturing units, or complete or partial covering by vegetation, which is designed to lower the temperature of the roof and the surrounding air.
