Estimates of air pollution mitigation with green plants and green roofs using the UFORE model
Beth Anne Currie,Brad Bass +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of green roofs and green walls on air pollution in urban Toronto and found that a 10-20% increase in the surface area for green roofs on downtown buildings would contribute significantly to the social, financial and environmental health of all citizens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical greening systems and the effect on air flow and temperature on the building envelope
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental approach was set up to measure the temperature and air flow near and on different types of green facades and a living wall system to evaluate the influence of wind velocity and its effect on the thermal resistance.
