Welcome to the research pages of the Green Roof Centre at the University of Sheffield.

The University of Sheffield is the leading research establishment in this field in the UK, with an unrivalled range of expertise in the green roof arena. It has developed an international reputation for excellence in green roof studies.

We are the National Centre of Excellence for green roofs and our primary aim is to promote green roof development and implementation through research, education, demonstration, information and technology transfer.

Our intention is that that these research focused pages will provide a resource for the advancement and understanding of green roofs.

The research is broken down in to the key fields of green roof research activity and will mainly consist of peer reviewed and published papers which have followed high standards of research best practice. However, there is also a selection of Masters level dissertations and reports which may serve to trigger further investigation.
