FAU Opens Solar Panel System at Downtown Ft. Lauderdale Campus
anyways glad to see this getting done, they told us about this over a year ago, i believe they were also considering doing the side of the building as technology improved, maybe they will start doing this in boca and take advantage of all of those flat empty roofs

Isn't it stupid to have all those flat roofs? Doesn't water just collect on top and rot the roof away?
Would it make sense to put a lawn up there? (I know that sounds funny to some but a growing number of schools are creating "green roofs" by basically putting a lawn of grass on top of the roof)

Most flat roofs have drains and scuppers to get rid of extra water. I would think the water would help keep the roof cooler in the summer. I wonder if they build roofs stronger up north for the snow. I bet that roofs down here might not be designed to support grass and things like that. Besides how do you get a mower up there?

Future buildings will likely include green roofs as part of a LEED program. Saving on utilities is big, and designing buildings green is favored by the State for obvious funding related reasons.
