WESTON® and GreenGrid® Honored by Major Industry Publications

2005 EBJ Technical Merit Award Winner
• 2005 Buildings Magazine Editor’s Choice – Top Products Pick

Chicago, IL, February 8, 2006 – GreenGrid® green roof installations by Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON), have been honored by Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) and Building Magazine, two major publications in the environmental and building-services industry.

EBJ awarded GreenGrid® its Technology Merit Award, to be presented at the EBJ Environmental Industry Summit IV, March 1-3, 2006, in Coronado, CA.

Buildings Magazine has chosen GreenGrid® as a 2005 Editor’s Choice – Top Products Pick.

WESTON builds and installs the GreenGrid® green roof system under an exclusive licensing arrangement with ABC Supply Co., Inc. Using modular technology, soil media and plants are placed into a series of modules made of recycled plastics and then placed directly on the roofing membrane of conventional roofs. The entire system is simple to install and maintain and offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional “built-in-place” green roofs.

Studies show green roofs help lower energy costs, add natural beauty, reduce stormwater runoff, help alleviate the “urban heat island” effect, as well as extend roof life.

“We are elated to see major corporations and retailers choosing energy saving and sustainable projects such as green roofs,” said Patrick G. McCann, WESTON’s president and chief executive officer. “We are honored to be recognized by such respected publications for our design and installation of GreenGrid® green roofs, while at the same time meeting the needs of our industrial, commercial and government clients.”

Because of the many benefits offered by GreenGrid® and other green roofs, some states and local communities now offer building owners and managers green roof incentives. And because of their many environmental benefits, they can receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credits as well.
