PHILADELPHIA, PA--Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and PECO President & CEO Denis O’Brien have revealed plans for what will become the largest green roof on an existing urban building in Pennsylvania.
PECO will preview its green roof project with architectural renderings. The green roof development at PECO is part of the company’s recently-announced comprehensive environmental initiative with a range of programs over the next several years. With anticipated investment of $15.3 million, the initiative also includes the opening of PECO’s first ‘green building’ in West Chester, replacement of the landmark Crown Lights messaging system atop the company’s Center City headquarters, energy efficiency upgrades at many of the company’s offices and service centers across the region to comply with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, as well as community and customer support for energy efficiency and environmental benefits.
O’Brien also will present a $50,000 donation to the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation for its own green roof project. Jane Pepper will discuss the energy savings and environmental benefits of green roofs.
