Going Green

There are many buildings around having living green walls attached to their facades.This isn't merely to make the building blend into its environment but is to make a strong statement about sustainability, care for the environment and the need for heat efficient buildings.

The first obvious benefit is helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the building in that the planting actually reduces the amount of CO2 in our environment. It also helps to control the heat in the building,

Something that is less obvious is the
amount of rainwater that is harvested from the roof and taken to storage for automatic watering of the wall from hidden pipework embedded in the green wall. This is not done merely to keep the wall alive but also to reduce the amount of water that is sent down the sewers for disposal. So its win win all the way. Oh and they look good as well
