I’m surprised the city hasn’t made green-roofs mandatory for any new construction over a certain size, as they have in Toronto…Incentivizing greener parking lots are good, though. Too many are big ugly eyesores.

Maybe that’s something they want boroughs to do individually, since there’s a lot of variation in the built environment among them.

I there was a certain size threshold, I would venture that developers will design to fit just under the size required and perhaps creatively so.

M: I forget if it’s City-wide or only some boroughs, but white-roofs are now mandatory.

I recall Rosemont borough decreeing white roofs but would have to dig for other info on this.

For Rosemont:

It has to be green, white, or reflective.

I redid my roof in 2014. It wasn’t yet mandatory to have a white roof, but it was a difference of 600$ (of a total of $14k) so I went ahead and did it. I assume once it’s mandatory in my borough, the price will go up.
