Ninkasi Brewing Protects Local Watershed with Rooftop Gardens

August 29, 2014
August 29, 2014

Ninkasi Brewing Company’s administrative building, opened in Eugene this summer, featuring a rooftop garden.  A living, planted roof was installed as part of a plan to green the entire facility.  The LiveRoof® Hybrid Green Roof System was selected for the green roof system, which was installed this summer.

The living roof reduces the total amount of stormwater runoff and filters pollutants that would otherwise be deposited in local streams, lakes, and rivers.  Additionally, the green roof will moderate the temperature of runoff water, which minimizes its effect on local aquatic life.

“We strive to improve the lives of our customers, the residents of our communities, our employees and our business partners,” sad Nikos Ridge, CEO and cofounder of Ninkasi.  “Pure, clean water is an essential ingredient to our beer, so it makes sense that we would design our facilities in a way that is sensitive to local waterways.  The green roof helped us to achieve this and had the added benefit of a spectacular view for our visitors and staff.”

GreenFeathers, the regional grower for the LiveRoof system, grew and delivered mature flowers and greenery for the rooftop, which was designed by Cameron McCarthy and installed by Rexius.  This new brewery is part of a larger growth project for Ninkasi, which includes a new local distribution facility and second brewhouse.  All buildings are registered to be LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified under the new LEED campus platform.

“This project has been very rewarding,” said Grace Dinsdale, president of GreenFeathers, Inc. “We knew that sustainability was a high priority for Ninkasi, and feel proud to have contributed to those efforts through use of recycled materials, locally sourced plants and soil, and sustainable growing practices.”  The green roof is visible above the front entrance, and from windows throughout the facility.

    A study by Michigan State University confirmed overhead spray irrigation as the most water-efficient method of watering green roof substrates.  When compared to drip and subsurface irrigation systems, the overhead spray method fully saturated the soil with the the least amount of runoff and yielded the healthiest plants. Yet, irrigation pipe sitting directly on the […]
