In situ experimental evaluation of a novel modular living wall system for industrial symbiosis
Patricia Kio,Ahmed K. Ali +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modular living wall system (MLWS) was installed as a retrofit on an existing building facade to reduce heat islands, greenhouse gas emissions and energy from conventional recycling practices.

The Impact of Living Wall on Building Passive Cooling: A Systematic Review and Initial Test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a literature review for all different living wall (LW) systems in order to identify and systematize their primary application, method and performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cost–benefit analysis of implementing urban heat island adaptation measures in small- and medium-sized cities in Austria:
TL;DR: In this article, the economic feasibility of adaptation options for urban heat islands in small to medium-sized cities has been studied, although these areas are still understudied especially in terms of economic feasibility.

Evaluation and Planning Decision on Façade Greening Made Easy—Integration in BIM and Implementation of an Automated Design Process
Jutta Hollands,Azra Korjenic +1 more
TL;DR: An automated process was used to optimize the time-consuming conventional planning process of façade greening, with the aim of evaluating the simulated greening variants based on defined parameters and presenting the application of the prototypes and the possible calculations over the life cycle of the building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspective of using green walls to achieve better energy efficiency levels. A bibliometric review of the literature
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate if the use of green walls systems can be a solution to decrease the energy demands in buildings, and the results indicate an increase interest in this topic in the last five years and that green walls can bring a lot of benefits especially from environmental point of view.

View through a window may influence recovery from surgery
TL;DR: Surgical patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays, received fewer negative evaluative comments in nurses' notes, and took fewer potent analgesics than matched patients in similar Rooms with windows facing a brick building wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.

Cool surfaces and shade trees to reduce energy use and improve air quality in urban areas
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of temperature trends for the last 100 years in several large U.S. cities indicate that, since ∼1940, temperatures in urban areas have increased by about 0.5-3.0°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban climates and heat islands: albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heat
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of surface albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heating on the near-surface climate are discussed, and numerical simulations and field measurements indicate that increasing vegetation cover can be effective in reducing the surface and air temperatures near the ground.
