1 GEPETO Project INSA Lyon Jean-Luc BERTRAND-KRAJEWSKI INSA Lyon Jean-Christophe GRIMARD VEGETAL id 1 Green roofs as SUDS Interception of the rainfall : closest to the raindrop. 4-6% of the annual rainfall intercepted. Evapotranspiration. Cool island effect : green roofs fight the urban heat island effect. No ground coverage. But Green roof = Sponge roof : when saturated, no retention. Critical rain events : successive / heavy no retention. Sewer system risks saturation & overflow : untreated water released to the environment. 2 1

2 Innovative green roof Vegetal ID Blue / green roof system. Designed to store more rainwater and release it at a drop-by-drop rate. Classical green roof trays placed upon storage trays with two ways of discharge : downwards to the sewer system via a flow regulator, upwards to the plants via capillarity wicks. 3 Innovative green roof Vegetation layer Substrate layer Filtering layer Drainage layer Storage tray Capillarity wick Connector Flow regulator 4 2

3 GEPETO Project : monitoring setup Experimental site located in Mions, 15 km SE of Lyon. Installation in July 215. First measurements in August GEPETO Project : monitoring setup Comparison of different roof solutions : Bare roof ❶, Standard green roof ❷, Innovative blue / green roof, Standard ❸ Without capillarity wicks ❹. ❷ ❸ ❶ ❹ 6 3

With capillarity wicks : water level in the tray lower at the beginning of the event increased retention capacity. Greater peak attenuation on the innovative roof thanks to the flow regulator. 9 Monitoring : first year results Retention (%) BR GR B/GR B/GR w/o wicks Peak rate attenuation(%) B/GR BR GR B/GR w/o wicks Min Mean Max (nombre de données) (94) (96) (96) (37)* (81) (97) (96) (37)* Innovative blue / green roof offers higher performance than the standard green roof. Higher retention interest of the storage tray. Better attenuation interest of the flow regulator. *Due to experimental contingencies, reliable data are not available for the blue / green roof without wicks until march 216. Therefore we cannot conclude on the effect of the wicks on the long term. 1 5

8 Conclusion & perspectives Innovative green roof offers higher performances than standard green roof. Better interception of heavy or consecutive rain events. Model improvement : slope non-homogeneous water repartition, more water to the outlet. New experimental site in Marseille : installation scheduled Q Follow-up of irrigation needs in a dry climate. Weather data + vegetation condition + water consumption 15 8
