The commissioner shall cause to be installed on the roofs of all real property owned by the city, a green roof system, as defined in section BC 1502 of the building code, or a detention system, as defined in section PC 202 of the plumbing code, or a combination of both. Such green roof system or detention system, or combination thereof, shall cover at least 50 percent of available roof top space, excluding any space required to be kept open or unobstructed by the fire code or any space occupied by mechanical equipment, and shall be designed and installed in accordance with chapter 15 of the building code.
