Green Roof Blocks (TM), makers of a completely self contained, portable green roof system, has been invited by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) to demonstrate its product Green Roof Blocks™ during the Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Products Exposition for Olympic Projects taking place July 12–14, 2005 in Beijing.
St. Louis, MO July 11, 2005-- Green Roof Blocks (TM), has been invited by the
Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) to demonstrate its
product Green Roof Blocks™ during the Energy Efficient and Environmentally
Friendly Products Exposition for Olympic Projects taking place July 12–14, 2005
in Beijing.
Green Roof Blocks™ are self contained portable units that
hold four square feet of drought resistant sedum foliage. Green Roof Blocks help
to reduce energy consumption and costs, decrease storm water run off and
preserve the life of the roof by up to four times.The decorative and functional
units are placed on the existing roof and provide building owners with a
decorative and affordable way to literally add "life" to the building.
A
typical commercial green roof requires expensive water proofing, drainage
systems and an excessive amount of soil. However, Green Roof Blocks™ are
completely self contained and provide an affordable solution to installing a
green roof.
The Beijing expo will allow exhibitors to demonstrate their
products and services to China 's growing green construction community. The expo
will be attended primarily by owners, investors, contractors, designers and
municipal government departments involved in the Olympic projects. In addition
to the upcoming Olympic Games, Green Roof Blocks™ hopes to expand its sales
efforts to additional China markets.
