List Members:

Thanks to those who responded to my bus insurance query several weeks ago!

I have another request:

We are combining with several "partners" to create a new visitor
center/museum and all the other partners (and the architects) want a living
roof (sod) for it energy efficiency, etc. (and maybe that it would just be
"cool").  My museum's representatives are saying "no" because of RH levels,
leaks, the fact of having a continuous source of water over the entire
building where artifacts and exhibits will be on display, etc.  I was
hoping many of you could contribute reasons FOR having a living roof and
FOR NOT having a living roof on a MUSEUM (perhaps some contacts with
museums that have living roofs), so we can present a well rounded critique
of everyone else's decision before the building is actually built.  Are
their consequences for future AAM accreditation, acquiring traveling
exhibits, having objects loaned from other museums?

All responses are appreciated.
