Getting the Most Out of GI
May 11, 2016
As green infrastructure continues to be applied on projects across the state and country, what are some lessons we are learning? How are GI projects performing? Why are some GI systems failing? What is the current thinking on how to design GI systems? How can this evolving knowledge be applied to specific project conditions? This class, co-instructed with Tim Toland, RLA of SUNY ESF, will review the draft GI design, performance, and maintenance standards that Tim and others are developing with NYSDEC for incorporation in the Stormwater Design manual, and then apply them to specific sites. Class work will include practice selection and sizing, the development of planting plans, and maintenance standards for residential, commercial, and urban sites.
