Vertical surfaces provide habitats for insects and small mammals, with horizontal surfaces planted to provide pollen and nectar. The green roofs can also be designed to trap water and develop into mini-wetlands. <\/p>\n<p>The prizes were presented by George Adams, Chair of the CIBSE Resilient Cities Special Interest Group, with judges Susie Diamond, Vice-chair CIBSE Resilient Cities Special Interest Group, Chloe Hampton from LSBU, David Stevens vice chair of the CIBSE Facilities Management Special Interest Group. Prof Derek Clements-Croome from Reading University also took part in the judging, but was unable to attend the event.<\/p>\n<h2>Winning entries<\/h2>\n<h3>Winner \u2013 John Little from Green Roof Shelters <\/h3>\n<p>Click on the image for a pdf version (32.1 MB)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/pdfs\/Greenroof-shelters-GI-challenge-2018.pdf\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/images\/Greenroof-shelters-GI-challenge-2018.jpg\" alt=\"GI challenge 2018 winning entry from Green Roof Shelters\" class=\"edge\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Highly commended \u2013 Jake Attwood Harris from Hawkins\\Brown<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the image for a pdf version (36.1 MB)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/pdfs\/Hawkins-Brown-GI-challenge-2018.pdf\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/images\/Hawkins-Brown-GI-challenge-2018.jpg\" alt=\"GI challenge 2018 Highly commended entry from Green Roof Shelters\" class=\"edge\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"\/wp-content\/images\/logo-strip2.png\" alt=\"Logos\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 2018 ecobuild, London CIBSE &#038; UKCIP are proud to present the third annual GI design challenge!
