- Blue_roof abstract "A blue roof is a roof design that is explicitly intended to store water, typically rainfall. Blue roofs can provide a number of benefits depending on design. These benefits include temporary storage of rainfall to mitigate runoff impacts, storage for reuse such as irrigation or cooling water makeup, or recreational opportunities. Blue roofs can include open water surfaces, storage within or beneath a porous media or modular surface, or below a raised decking surface or cover. 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 drainage of water from the roof. A number of blue roof pilot projects have been implemented around the country. A significant blue roof pilot project intended to evaluate the potential of the systems for mitigating combined sewer overflow impacts was conducted between 2010 and 2012 by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The NYCDEP blue-roof projects are the first to utilize a novel passive blue roof tray design developed by Geosyntec Consultants which relies on the lateral transitivity of non-woven filter fabric for drawdown control in a full scale pilot. Monitoring of these systems has demonstrated their performance as an effective means for mitigation of peak flows and alteration of timing in combined sewer systems.Blue roofs are often privately owned, and make efficient use of the otherwise very limited space available in the urban core of a highly populated city.Some recreational blue roofs integrate rooftop waterplay areas that can also be used to irrigate a green roof, or to cool the roof of a building on hot days, in order to eliminate or at least reduce the HVAC load placed on mechanical refrigeration equipment.One example of a blue roof is the "urbeach/urbine" (located on Dundas Street West, in downtown Toronto). A rooftop mounted wind turbine in which the main mast is a shower pole forms the centerpiece of this blue roof. The beach surface is a textured nonslip surface that provides good traction when wet. The roof is decorated with blue chips that are solar cells that provide energy to the building, as well as run all of the urbeach amenities.".
