Well I'll throw a bolt into the engine. Shorter buildings do better with green roofs than tall ones. Think about how windy it is atop a 600 foot building versus a 150 foot one. It's harder to have a green roof that high up without all the soil blowing away and shredding the plants to pieces. I remember trying to take pictures atop the Austonian was like standing in a wind tunnel.
