A green facade is a system in which plants directly climb the walls or have the additional support of steel, wood, or plastic externally attached to a building facade. A green facade is created by growing climbing plants up and across the facade of a building, either from plants grown at its base, or by container planting installed at different levels across the building.
What are the benefits of green facades?
- Reduces urban heat island effect and smog.
- Cleans outside air of pollutants and dust and offsets the carbon footprint of people and fuel emissions.
- Cleans interior air space by removing VOCs and other harmful toxins like benzene and formaldehyde.
- Acts as a sound proofing barrier.
