Productive Blue-Green Roofs for Stormwater Management
Green Energy and Environmental Technology, 2022 Green roofs have been used around the world for centuries, and have been adapted to modern urban buildings. Many cities have now adopted a green roof bylaw in recognition of their environmental benefits, including stormwater management. Despite this requirement, if green roofs are poorly designed, they may quickly become ineffective or ...

Moisture-resilient upgrading to blue-green roofs
Energy Procedia, 2017 Abstract This study identifies building technical challenges when upgrading roofs and rebuilding them as blue-green roofs in Nordic climate. Identification of challenges were done through several steps – a literature study, interviews with architect, contractor, consultants, researchers and property developers, in addition to a case study of two ...
