My question is regarding what can be considered as a green roof: Is a pot considered as a green roof? We intend to install a grid of pots on the roof so that the owner will be able to move them to another part of the building due to a prospective extension. Thanks.

Alicia, you have hit on an interesting issue—that there is huge variation out there in what constitutes a "green roof."Some modular green roof systems come in flats and can be basically set out and then removed. However, these can be laid out on a continuous plane that covers the roof. When I think of pots, I think of round planters that leave the roof mostly exposed. I don't think this would count, if it's what you mean.

Thank you for your reply, I'd like to suggest that the criteria to distinguish a green roof from a pot is telling if it you can step on it and walk. If so, it would constitute a green roof.
