Domain of activity:
Green roofs and green walls:
Rainwater harvesting systems:
Green roofs and green walls:
- Economic evaluation: retrofit in new/ existing buildings and rehabilitation of urban centres;
- Green roofs and green walls as part of the Nature-Based Solutions/Green Infrastructure of urban centers;
- Technical evaluation for different types of buildings;
- Inspections, anomalies and maintenance plans;
- Products development and optimization;
- Contribution for water management;
- Thermal evaluation in Mediterranean climate and energy savings when compared to traditional solutions;
- Coupling rainwater collection with green roofs - feasibility of collecting the runoff from the roof for various uses in and around a building.
Rainwater harvesting systems:
- Technical evaluation for different types of buildings;
- Water savings at different scales (e.g., building, parish, city);
- Retrofit in buildings and urban centres.
