Description
This EIS consists of developing new green wall construct as second façade on top of the existing ones. The solution adopts bioplastics from dried algae as a building material, because of the energy production and absorptive function of the algae. Green façades from climbing plants are already used frequently. The innovation lies in the use of the harvest from the climbing plants to make fibre. The combined opportunities from the climbing plants and algae are used to design a circular system where the harvest of one facade will be the base of the construction of a second façade.
Objective
Greening Up solution aims to generate an alternative construction technology that simultaneously addresses the problem of construction and demolition waste and the reduction of greenhouse gases, air and noise pollution in the form of the application of green façades.
