Green roof and storm water management policies: monitoring experiments on the ENPC Blue Green Wave [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Currently widespread in new urban projects, green roofs have shown a positive impact on urban runoff at the building/parcel scale. Nevertheless, there is no specific policy promoting their implementation neither in Europe nor in France. Moreover they are not taken into account (and usually considered as an impervious area) in the sizing of a retention ...

Blue-Green Roofs: Hydrological Evaluation of a Case Study in Viterbo, Central Italy

2021
Green roofs can create more resilient hybrid infrastructures for the sustainable management of urban stormwater. Their permeation in urban design and planning practice depends on the roof capability in supplying multiple ecosystem services that are mainly affected by water availability and management.

Blue-green roofs as nature-based solutions for urban areas: hydrological performance and climatic index analyses

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
The water-regulating capacity of nature-based solutions (NBSs) plays a crucial role in providing a full range of ecosystem services and enhancing the resilience of urban systems. This work focuses on the hydrological performance of a particular NBS, the so-called blue-green roof (BGR).

Risk Management in Procurement of Blue-Green Roofs—Supplier Perspective

2020
Blue-green roofs are increasingly adopted as a measure to reduce risk related to stormwater events. However, as a novel building element, they present elements of uncertainty in themselves. The integrity of the roof is vitally important to long-term building operation, it is therefore important to understand the extent and impacts of this uncertainty ...

[Effects of Green, Blue, and Blue-green Roofs on Runoff Quality].

Huan jing ke xue= Huanjing kexue, 2023
Roofs occupy a great proportion of urban impervious surfaces, and the implementation of eco-roof construction in urban areas is beneficial to alleviate the ecological and environmental problems caused by rapid urbanization. In this study, different eco-roofs (i.e., 68.6%-90.7%, and 39.8%-54.5%, respectively.

Large scale installation of multilayer blue-green roofs as solution for a sustainable urban water management

2022
<p>The modern society is facing multiple challenges, that are reshaping urban areas: the fast population growth, with a consequent high urbanization, combined with an increase of the average temperature and an intensification of extreme rainfall events, facilitates the pluvial flood risk in cities.
