Transfunctional living walls-designing living walls for environmental and social benefits
TL;DR: In this article, a parametric approach to studying living wall dynamics using three methods to cover a diversity of design parameters and performance criteria is presented, leading to a functional typology for living walls based on a range of design, context and performance parameters wider than previously identified.

Analysis of Green Living Walls: Individual Awareness about its Functional Value and Aesthetical Quality
Sadia Farooq,Mohammad Arif Kamal +1 more
TL;DR: The results of Chi-Square have shown that GLWs enhances air quality, boost energy levels, and also helps in reducing noise and temperature, and many individuals preferred GLWs and considered it beneficial for the home environment, even if it has a little harmful effect.

Development of sandwich panels of customized functionalities for the rehabilitation of the built patrimony
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a concept for prefabricated customizable sandwich panels for the multifunctional renovation of buildings, which would not only contribute to the reduction of the energy inefficiency in buildings, but also minimize related construction problems, enabling some advanced features like the incorporation on the façade layout of advanced modules such as solar panels.
Typologie de l'implantation de la flore spontanée en ville dense – Inter-Environnement Bruxelles
TL;DR: In this paper, the vegetalisation des enveloppes bâties is discussed. But, the authors focus on the adaptation of villes au rechauffement climatique passe par la recherche de solutions economiques for etre mobilisables.

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.

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.

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.
