Understanding Blue Roofs : From design to application – CPD Presentation
Increases in our urban population, the density of urban development and the effects of climate change are all placing additional pressure on our public surface water drainage systems. Designed and installed correctly a blue roof can provide a very successful surface water management solution for modern construction projects.

- Importance of the specification process
Blue Roofs – Microlearning Article
Green roofs are already known for their ability to attenuate water, but this can now be enhanced with blue roof technology. Here the roof not only stores water but is also able to delay water discharge after a high intensity rainfall event and release it at a pre-determined rate. Optigreen’s online article ‘Blue Roofs: what are they and how are they used’ looks at how this can be achieved practically and why this type of specification is likely to become more commonplace in the future.
