Abstract:
The present invention provides an inverted roofing system and method that is more thermally efficient, inexpensive and quicker to install, better able to withstand environmental conditions, and produces the appearance and some functional benefits of a traditional natural green roof ballast top-layer. It does not require a sloped roof gradient, and is capable of a user controlled mass per square foot roof load. The inverted roofing system and method provides a ballast top-layer that is lightweight, and maintains properties that will prevent wind uplift.

Claim (Index 1):
An inverted roofing system for a roof deck comprising:\n a water impermeable layer supported by said roof deck; an insulation layer supported by said water impermeable layer; a diffusion layer supported by said insulation layer; and a ballast top-layer supported by said diffusion layer, the ballast-top layer comprising at least one artificial turf layer and at least one infill, and wherein there is an air buffer between at least a portion of the at least one infill and a portion of the artificial turf layer opposite that of the at least one infill.
