A blue roof is a roof attenuation design that is explicitly intended to store rainfall. Blue roofs that are used for temporary rooftop storage can be classified as “active” or “passive” depending on the types of control devices used to regulate water drainage from the roof.
A green roof or living roof is a roof of which is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing media which has been planted over a waterproof membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems.
A blue/green roof is a roof design that combines the benefits of both a blue roof and a green roof. It can have the added benefit of providing passive irrigation to the green element of the roof. The irrigation reservoir can sit above the roof membrane or be above the storage layer. A blue/green roof will be able to deliver on all the pillars of SuDS.
