Follow on Google News | Using Green Walls to Build Sustainability discussed at Middle East Smart Landscape Summit 2015By: Expotrade One of the most interesting technologies that have developed with this aim in mind is the concept of green walls or living walls. Living walls or vertical surfaces covered with vegetation fulfill the twin aims of any landscaper, namely beautification and environment- The importance of green walls in this regard cannot be ignored. Apart from their aesthetic appeal, their benefits include improving energy efficiency through enhancing insulation and reducing carbon emission; along with acting as powerful noise and pollution filters as well as potent climate control agents. The universal importance of green walls is evidenced by the fact that living walls are now being seen in major cities around the world, such as Berlin, Paris, Istanbul and Dubai. Examples of verdant walls include the striking living wall of plants at the Musée du Quai Branly, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. The concept of green walls seems to be catching on in Dubai as well. Mixed media arts and cultural centre, The Pavilion has a 10 metre long vertical interior garden that is a marvel of design, featuring around 2500 plants. Leisure properties such as hotels are also an obvious choice. Dubai’s Novotel Hotel’s green wall, taking up 1200 square metres and containing approximately 27,000 plants is a prime example, as is the 30 metre long green wall at the Hakkasan Terrace restaurant at the Emirates Towers in Dubai. Learn more about this exciting new emerging technology that integrates vegetation with building facades during the session titled ‘Green Living Walls – Turning Dense Urban Areas from Grey to Green’ at the 3rd Annual Middle East Smart Landscape Summit 2015, to be held during 28 – 29 April, 2015.
