Human Services hosts green roof seminar in New Castle
The Human Services Center held a green roofs seminar with a tour of the center’s green roof. Colette Gregoire of Weston Solutions spoke on roof types and benefits, while Roger Smith said a Greenways Grant funded the project and the Fisher Building will save $4,000 to $5,000 yearly in cooling costs. The roof, installed in December, attracts about 30 attendees and helps reduce storm water runoff, heat island effects, and extends roof life.
