As an AI language model, I don't have visual ability to understand your building design. However, here are some general steps to integrate a green roof into your building design:
1. Assess the building's structural capacity and determine if it can support the weight of a green roof.
2. Determine the type of green roof system you would like to install: extensive or intensive. Extensive systems utilize lightweight vegetation that require minimal maintenance while intensive systems are heavier and include more plant variety, requiring more maintenance.
3. Decide on whether to install a fully vegetated green roof or a modular one which is pre-planted.
4. Select the appropriate waterproofing materials, drainage systems, and growing media for the green roof. Work with an expert on this.
5. Plan the irrigation system to ensure adequate water supply for the green roof.
6. Incorporate the green roof design into the overall building plans. This includes setting areas for drainage, access, and maintenance.
7. Get the applicable permits and ensure compliance with city or county regulations.
8. Hire a licensed contractor or green roof installation firm to install the green roof system.
9. Finally, maintain the green roof with regular watering, fertilizing, pruning, and removing debris.
