Breaking Ground

IFD Builds NYC'S First Green & Solar Roof!

Welcome to the future of a sustainable NYC.

Interior Foliage has just completed a very exciting project: The first green AND solar hot water roof in New York City, on our very own roof!

We wanted to show our clients how using a green roof/solar hot water system could be both aesthetically pleasing, while saving tons of money, every year.

We figured the best way to show people was to do it ourselves, first.

Let's do a tour of our new neighbors upstairs...

The Cacti

Don't steal their Daily News!

The Cacti are the best neighbors a tenant could have: quiet, and no maintenance required.

Question: Cacti? In New York? I thought they were only in deserts!

Answer: While Cacti are prominently found in arid desert regions, the cacti featured on our roof are native to the New Jersey, Long Island Area.

Tough Guys.

How a green roof can help a landlord:

The plants on a green roof absorb heat, keeping the building cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Our green roof is projected to save up to 30 percent of our summer cooling costs.

Our green roof will also absorb up to 85 percent of storm water runoff, releasing water slowly into the drainage system. Storm water runoff can overwhelm the City’s sewer system, and potentially cause untreated sewage to overflow into local waterways.

If every city had a green roof, you'd never hear about city beaches closing due to storm water runoff. Cleaner air, cleaner water, cleaner NYC.

The Quiet Heroes.

Each 10,000 square foot green roof can capture between 8,000 and 12,000 gallons of water in each storm, the evaporation of which will produce the equivalent of between a thousand and two thousand tons of air conditioning — enough heat removal to noticeably cool 10 acres of the city.

City Assistance:

Building owners in New York City who install green rooftops on at least 50 percent of available rooftop space can apply for a one-year property tax credit of up to $100,000, or $4.50 a square foot.

Part Two on Monday: The Solar Hot Water System.

Study: Women Who Recieve Flowers are Happy 3 Days After

Looking to give your loved one the best week ever?

Women who were given flowers, as part of a recent study by researchers at Rutgers University, reported elevated moods for up to three days after receiving the bouquets.

Those given fruit and candles reported no such change.

Report: Plants Speed Surgical Recovery

We wanted to start the new year on a constructive note. Here goes!

Having a potted plant or flower in your hospital room, according two researchers from Kansas State University, speeds up the rate of recovery from abdominal surgery.

The study... found patients with plants in their rooms had significantly fewer intakes of pain medication; more positive physiological responses -- lower blood pressure and heart rate; less pain, anxiety and fatigue; and higher satisfaction with their recovery rooms compared to the control group" when given a potten plant.

Nursing staff reported that as patients recovered, they began to show interaction with the plants, including watering, pruning, and moving them for a better view or light.

Indoor plants make air healthier and provide an optimum indoor environment by increasing humidity and reducing the quantity of mold spores and airborne germs, the researchers added.

If you wanted to do more for a loved one currently recovering from surgery, it's good to know that you can do something that offers real help.
