Some scientifically proven examples for both the building and its residents and the direct environment:
- increase in the durability of building materials by offering protection against sunlight and precipitation (‘shell’ for the building against rainfall, UV radiation, heath, and corrosion…)
- improvement of thermal and acoustic isolation
- cooling of the outside air (prevention of heath island effect)
- decrease in energy consumption of buildings (less need for air conditioning and heating)
- improved emotional well-being (thanks to a green environment)
- improved air quality because of the absorption of fine particulates, co2, and sub-products of incineration processes
- increase in urban biodiversity (species of flora and fauna)
- improved airflow through the streets
