Green Roof And Green Walls

Our growall system can be used to achieve any green wall goal.

Green roof and green walls.

This is evolving technology is a way to grow plants in a small site with limited space or to help clean the interior air in a building. The ability of green walls to provide thermal insulation for buildings means less demand on power and as a result fewer polluting by products are released into the air. Green roofs for healthy cities grhc is the north american industry association for the green roof and wall sectors. Green roofs offer significant economic benefits including a longer roof life and heating and cooling energy savings.

Green roofs also provide an opportunity for urban food production and increasing urban biodiversity. Green walls or living walls can reduce energy needs for heating and cooling through natural cooling effects and can filter air by removing harmful pollutants. Green walls have a relatively low thermal mass for the same reason. We ve brought nature to life for two decades providing individuals architects and companies around the globe with innovative living architecture and educational programs.

Grhc develops and protects the market by increasing the awareness of the economic social and environmental benefits of green roofs green walls and other forms of living architecture through education advocacy professional development and celebrations of excellence. Green wall living wall living walls are walls covered with planted vegetation and can be used as a bold architectural statement inside or outside a building. The supporting structure for extensive roofs and green walls is also usually lightweight with little thermal mass whereas the structures required for intensive roofs almost invariably employ concrete slabs or similar structures with an inherently higher thermal mass. Patented green living walls are available as wall mounted or free standing systems utilizing the vertical cultivation system vcs that glti pioneered and perfected.

After key design changes glti s patented technology made it possible to grow plants from zero to 90 degrees. The green living wall was developed as an extreme sloped green roof. Green roofs can help regulate a building s internal temperature reduce stormwater runoff and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Green walls mitigate air pollution levels by lowering extreme summer temperatures through photosynthesis trapping particulate matter and capturing gases.
