A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The research study currently being conducted on the Butler College green roof illustrates an innovative "campus as lab" initiative with both educational and operational significance. Since its installation in June 2009, Dr. Eileen Zerba, senior lecturer in ecology and evolutionary biology in the Princeton Environmental Institute, has been conducting research on the green roof system, assessing various energy- and stormwater-related performance factors as compared to a conventional roof. Throughout the study, student projects have been conducted within courses, as well as through summer internships.
