SYSTEM OVERVIEW: Bio-Module Shortgrass
When it comes to performance, Bio-Module stands out as Best in Class.
Bio-Module with Shortgrass Meadow plantings boasts the highest storm-water retention capability in the industry, holding a whopping 70 Liters per Square Meter (+1.5 US gallons per square foot). Combined with a shed rate of 38 centimeters per hour (15 inches per hour) for excess water, Bio-Module is head and shoulders above the competition. This is the kind of storm water performance civil engineers can count on to handle 100 year rain events in many North American cities.
This incredible moisture retention capability allows the use of meadow plantings for maximum cooling benefits. Since grasses and wildflowers have higher transpiration rates than succulent plantings like sedum, cooling the roof is brought to levels previously assumed were unachievable.
...and all this weighs around 145 kilograms per square meter (30 pounds per square foot).
