Capitol Connection Blog

As previously reported (see our June 29, 2012 Blog), Washington DC has the second largest green roof footprint in the country.   As more and more buildings are going green the question of how roof top equipment can be incorporated into these structures is more pressing.  As you can see from the picture here, The Capitol Connection rooftop antenna system works unobtrusively in these spaces.  This project at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, NW is our most recent collaboration with the green roof movement. 

As many building owners, managers and engineers already know, The Capitol Connection offers our TV service via a “line of sight” microwave system that utilizes roof top antennas.  When installing our service into a new or re-designed building, we are often asked how our roof antennas work with “green roofs.”  The answer is, PERFECTLY! One shining example of the partnership between The Capitol Connection and green roof technology is the Washington DC headquarters of our patron, The World Wild Life Fund located at 1250 24^th Street, NW.  The secret to our successful green roof integration is the usage of non-penetrating mounts as well as compact receive-only antennas that unobtrusively grab out signal.  In many instances, we can also attach our antenna to the side of a building, thereby avoiding the roof altogether.  For more information about how our installations work, please visit our website at http://capitolconnection.org/cable-propmanagers/ or call our offices directly at 703-993-3100 and ask for Danelle Springer or Dave Reininger.
