Up on the roof...

Today I braved vertigo to get these photos, showing some of the interesting Green Technology that has been installed on the roof of the new Garforth Library & One Stop Centre:



This solar panel will heat water for the building.


These sun pipes amplify the sun's rays providing natural light for the first floor of the building. You can see Sedum scattered on the soil around the pipes.



The Sedum roof will eventually look more like this. Apparently it will even have pink and white flowers! And it does need to be weeded during the first year...
