[[Blue roofs]] are emerging as an innovative rooftop stormwater management solution that provides flood protection and drought resistance. Instead of quickly conveying stormwater away from a property, blue roof systems temporarily capture rainwater until it either evaporates from the rooftop or is sent to rainwater harvesting storage tanks. A Smart Blue Roof was piloted at the CVC head office in Mississauga. Smart roofs are fitted with weather forecasting algorithms via internet connectivity and automated valves to regulate water discharge from the roof.
