Purple-Roof Concept

Detention + Retention = True Stormwater Management

[Purple-Roof Concept @PurpleRoofTeam]

Detention roofs are incredible workhorses and are excellent stormwater management tools, provide all the other benefits of a green roof, and can provide a clear ROI for a green roof. However, not all projects are suitable.

Want to build a high-retention green roof?
Then you need to match your plant selection with your #climate (if you want to avoid irrigation) and substrate type and depth.

Can you install a sedum #greenroof in winter?
Yes you can! But think about these things before you do...!

The Purple-Roof concept is far from a simple green roof upgrade. The concept provides both #stormwater retention and detention and thus fulfills the civil engineer’s requirements for stormwater management.

Green Roof Diagnostics laboratory has tested over 800 different green roof profiles over the last 2 years, and many of them showcase that green roof soil, in particular, is a product that is not always very good at managing water...

Purple-Roof and Blue-Green roofs are concepts that offer detention on top of retention. This means that the roof system provides a delay in peak runoff that makes them functionally comparable with a stormwater tank or a cistern. #climateadaptation
