- The Sheffield 'Green Roof Centre'
'The Sheffield 'Green Roof Centre' leads the UK, with Sheffield City last year requiring greenroofs to be installed on large buildings to aid control of stormwater runoff. The site has free download including a FAQ fact sheet and DIY home greenroof factsheet, and some great case studies that include two school projects. I particularly like the DIY Gallery pages pages where you can see, and submit your own, 'home greenroof' - from bird boxes to sheds.
