Guidance

The UK has a very strong green roof industry and a number of independent organizations specializing in green roofs. Much of this knowledge outside of the industry is focused in London and Sheffield, the two cities that have really pushed green roofs and organizations like ourselves.

Guidance and a code of practice are being developed by GRO, which will be an English adaptation of the FLL, the de facto international guidelines.

There is guidance available from:

Building Greener
City of London Green Roof Research Advice Note
