16:15 Living Building Skins
Chair: Gabriel Pérez, University of Lleida, Spain
Positive effects of green building envelopes
- Reducing the urban heat island effect
- Filtering fine dust of the streets
- Reducing the noise levels
Moving beyond greenwashing: Designing for a carbon neutral green roof system
- Interdisciplinary design between roofing and green systems
- Design systems to maximize material service life
