Abstract text:
In a world in continuous development, with new trends and innovative solutions to the environmental problems, the systems used for greening the building structure do not represent just surfaces covered with plants. These greening systems, like green roofs and green walls, are frequently utilized for their ecological, economic, social and aesthetical characteristics in buildings design. However, the recent technology combined in these systems can improve the functional benefits of vegetation in the building's impact on the environment and the citizens. This solution represents a part of a sustainable strategy of urban rehabilitation and buildings retrofitting. The aim of this paper is to review most of the types of greenery systems in order to identify and systematize their main characteristics and technologies involved. Therefore, it is important to understand the main differences between systems in terms of construction details and plant selection. The authors state that by using the green roof and green walls design, the damaging effect of the building sector over the natural environment can be significantly reduced.
