1. Single cable type
Here, the vegetation was climbers, such as thunbergia
grandiflora, that was allowed to cling onto a single
cable (made of stainless steel) from a typical planter
below. The length of climb is typically 4 to 5 metres in
an upright orientation; but on certain floors, the climb
extended to 2 floors or about 8 metres.
2. Mesh type
Especially at the 17th floor, rectangular planter boxes
made of fibre-glass reinforced polymer were placed
adjacent to a series of S-shaped steel mesh and located
at various heights above the floor slab but along
a common wall. There, climbers were used again to
cover the mesh fully in due course.
Holland based Sempergreen Vertical Systems skriver nogle fordele
SvarSletThere are so many benefits! Just to name a few:
Energy conservation: vertical gardens insulate the building envelope, reducing the need of heating in winter and cooling in summer
Pollution absorption: green walls work as air filters
Reduction of heat island effect: walls can't heat up in the sun anymore
Storm water reduction: storm water run-off is reduced if the living wall is used in conjunction with a rainwater harvester
Ecological habitat: butterflies, bumblebees, even small birds...
