For greening the building envelope several concepts can be used, for example green roofs, fa?ades greened with climbing plants or living wall systems (modular pre-vegetated panels), etc. Greening allows to obtain a relevant improvement of its effi- ciency, ecological and environmental benefits as well an increase biodiversity. Since interest restoring integ- rity urban areas continues increase, new developments in construction practices beneficial characteristics take place, vertical...
A wide diffusion of green envelopes in cities can be an opportunity to improve urban environment conditions and reduce negative effects climate change. The roof system is a widespread solution adopted all over the world due relative simplicity installation large private social benefits provided. Despite this, some factors hinder system, not only economic (due higher costs compare traditional solution), but also technical connected lack knowledge. present paper investigates influencing...
Abstract Research is revealing an increasing number of positive effects nature for humans. At the same time, biodiversity in cities, where most humans live, often low or decline. Tangible solutions are needed to increase urban biodiversity. Architecture a key discipline that has considerable influence on built‐up area thereby influencing In general, architects do not design Conversely, conservation planning generally focuses limited space free buildings and does embrace architecture as...
Various studies have confirmed the implications of Vertical Greening System (VGS) as a nature-based solution to climate change mitigation. Even though VGSs are well established in operational terms, design framework is still poor at managing social, economic, and environmental performance. This study through comprehensive review interview related companies aims improve process VGS standardise built operations, with goal increasing sustainability efficiency. reviewed across various countries,...
According to projects and practices that the Italian botanists ecologists are carrying out for bringing "more nature in city", new insights a factual integration between ecological perspectives more consolidated aesthetic agronomic approaches sustainable planning management of urban green areas provided.
Climate change is affecting both natural and urban environments with serious consequences on their balance ecosystems. The introduction of nature-based solutions (NBS) in cities can help to manage its effects, terms mitigation adaptation parallel, it also support ecosystem service provision. In order quantify the performances NBS benefits for humans climate effect reduction, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) be used. This paper presents a literature review focused identification KPIs...
