NEW BLUE ROOF CPD FROM

OPTIGREEN

Green roofs are already known

for their ability to attenuate

water, but this can now be

enhanced with blue roof technol-

ogy. Here the roof not only stores

water but is also able to delay

water discharge after a high inten-

sity rainfall event and release it at

a pre-determined rate. Optigreen’s

newly approved RIBA 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.
