[OKC] green building practices in central OK

[Craig Coker]

I am a consultant to the City of Edmond for a feasibility study of a
composting facility.  The facility would take in various organic materials
(yard trimmings, food scraps, wastewater treatment residuals, etc.) and
produce composts and compost-amended soils.  As part of the Market
Evaluation task on this project I am trying to research what green building
practices are underway or planned in central Oklahoma.

 

Of particular interests to this project are:

1.	How many green roof projects have been built in OK and is there a
list of projects somewhere?  Are there any planned green roof projects
within 50 - 100 miles of OKC that would consider using a green roof media
composed, in part, of compost? 
2.	Are there any building projects which have sustainable site
development practices using: 

a.	Compost as a soil amendment material for vegetative plant health and
vigor? 
b.	Compost-based bioretention pond soil media for storm water quality
management? 
c.	Compost use as a erosion prevention blanket or as a sediment
filtration device? 

3.	Are any discussions underway to support the Sustainable Sites
Initiative of the ASLA? 

 

Thank you for any insights you can offer on this.
