Active Beehives on top of a building seen from the green roof of Building 92. Beehives help pollinate green roof agriculture.
Green roof system on top of Building 92 also equipped with solar panels. The green roof helps to keep the building cool thus reducing energy consumption used for air conditioning. Green roofs also help to reduce water runoff that would end up picking up chemicals from the ground and wash into our sewage and water systems.
