Blue roofs – a guide to implementation – new CIRIA guidance

A blue roof provides the attenuation and management of rainfall at its source. They are becoming a common approach to deliver SuDS and manage local flood risk, particularly in dense urban environments where space is at a premium. Despite their popularity there is a lack of high quality, independent guidance on their planning, design, construction, evaluation and maintenance.

CIRIA's new publication provides guidance on designing, installing and maintaining blue roofs, and covers how to minimise and manage the potential risks involved with purposefully managing water on the roof of a building.

Attendees heard first hand from the authors of CIRIA's new guidance and practical case studies will give professionals the competence and confidence to cost effectively deliver and assess blue roofs.
