Presentation & Open House
BC Green Roof Nursery Visit on Vancouver Island

BC Green Roof welcomes BCSLA Members and Associates to join our idea sharing presentation, during which we will provide unbiased in-depth details on how green roofs work, common misunderstandings and much more.

Kevin Kersten from BC Green Roof has worked in the industry for over 25 years, with an annual project portfolio surpassing twice the Vancouver convention centre’s roof and is an all-round expert in the field. He is not linked with any specific manufacturer or supplier. His detailed knowledge and recommendations are backed by scientific methodology, such as thermal-dynamics and hydrology.

With the strongly held belief that advancements lay in evaluating the past, BC Green Roof constantly seeks for improvement, is extensively involved in R&D and is an avid believer in sourcing components locally, such as the locally developed and produced edge restraints and insulated inspection chambers (www.greenleed.ca) that otherwise would have to be shipped in from thousands of km away.
 
In case you cannot make it, yet are interested in the subject, please contact us directly to set up a separate meeting in your office, at your project, or on our nursery field.
