The pressing concern of climate change and the imperative to mitigate CO2 emissions have significantly influenced selection outdoor plant species. Consequently, evaluating CO2’s environmental effects on plants has become integral decision-making process. Notably, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) from buildings is significant in tackling consequences addressing energy deficiencies. This article presents a novel approach by introducing panels as an component future building designs, epitomizing next generation sustainable structures offering new solution. integration environmentally friendly materials enhances buildings’ indoor environments. it becomes crucial analyze manufacturing processes order reduce consumption, minimize waste generation, incorporate green technologies. In this context, experimentation was conducted six distinct species, revealing that energy-saving potential different types varies significantly. finding contributes economy’s improvement fosters enhanced health-related responsibility. proposed harmonize various components embody strategic promote health well-being through bio-innovation. Furthermore, innovative solution seeks provide alternative challenges unsustainable practices, outdated standards, limited implementation technologies, excessive administrative barriers construction industry. obtained outcomes will stakeholders within sector with pertinent data concerning performance durability. these results enable producers acquire essential information, facilitating product improvement.

Lack of thermal comfort in the existing building stock many warm summer climates and COVID-19 pandemic have increased residents' temporary occupation urban open spaces. However, climate change other effects such as heat islands are also negatively affecting livability these Therefore, strategies needed to improve conditions areas. In this context, research designs, simulates assesses an green infrastructure supported by adaptative solar shading system. For purpose, a public square be renovated Seville (Spain) is chosen. After analysis current situation, more vegetation added. trees not planted fully grown, so their cover enough short term artificial system that protects from sun casting shade adapts both growth seasons included. The space characterized on-site measurements, proposing four (initial, intermediates final) scenarios using computational fluid dynamics simulations holistic microclimate modelling turn, changes analyzed COMFA model. Results show air surface temperature decreased, reducing number hours discomfort 21% thanks incorporating structure 30% due vegetation. It can concluded use prostheses enables spaces regenerated with enjoyed without waiting 20 or 30 years for mature, encouraging people spend time outdoors start intervention.

Densely built areas are affected by higher air-pollutant concentrations, representing a significant risk to public health. At the same time, urban settlements have remarkable environmental impact: cities responsible for 70% of annual carbon emissions while buildings account 37% global energy and process emissions. Moreover, people living in frequently exposed extreme micro-climate conditions caused heat island effect, related increased external air temperature peculiarities environment. Given this framework considering Sustainable Development Goals, it is necessary point out some effective strategical mitigation measures ameliorate conditions, reduce pollutants concentration enhance building performance. This paper investigates potential advantages green roofs as retrofitting solutions tree planting on several parameters particulate matter concentration, an industrial district located Italy using ENVI-met software. The influence extensive roof performance further investigated at level recurring Design Builder models. Results showed that could up 1.5 °C, outer surface 15 °C wind speed 50% compared current state conditions. application let also achieve savings 15% both summer winter seasons. Focusing effect matter, intensive proved be more efficient capturing pollutants.
