We now know how important the greening of cities is for the microclimate; tree planting, green roofs and green façades are our measures against heat stress and loss of biodiversity.
But what about the large areas of glass façades, which make up a significant proportion of surfaces and which continue to mushroom? A lost cause for greening?
An interesting project is underway at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, to investigate this question: possibilities are emerging. This concerns
– Shading and regulating the microclimate indoors – and outdoors through vertical green structures
– Modular climbing aids and transferable GLAS green systems
– Growth and development maintenance and recommendations.
