In addition to offering opportunities for special plantings and plant storage needs, the greenhouse on the office roof is an integral part of the building’s HVAC system. During the winter months air is pre-warmed in the greenhouse and made available to the individual heating units below. During sunny winter days air temperatures in the greenhouse can exceed 85 degrees minimizing or eliminating the need for additional heating by the HVAC units. The greenhouse has also become a popular winter hang-out for the landscapers of Christy Webber Landscapes.
