Steve and Lisa Hebb set out to create the greenest car wash in Ontario when they started their new business in Kilworth, On, an upscale bedroom community of London. One of the goals was to reduce the environmental footprint of the building as much as possible. In addition to using the most technically advanced water reclamation system for the wash water, they also decided to deal with stormwater on the building. They elected to put green roofs on the three lightly sloped roofs of the building to take advantage of the benefits of the green roofs. The sloped roofs make the green roofs really stand, even for those speeding by.
