“…Replacing conventional asphalt pavements with pervious pavements could solve the problem at its source, and also provide many other environmental benefits for industrial zones. Green roofs are suitable for industrial areas that have high roof coverage and limited ground space (Voyde et al, 2010), and they also have a good energy saving function (Lazzarin et al, 2003) and air purification capabilities for health improvement. Despite this, installation costs remain at a premium and hinder investment in green roofs.…”

Understanding stakeholders' perceptions and preferences is key to promoting Industrial Water Sensitive Design (IWSD). A questionnaire was distributed to stakeholders in a conventional New Zealand industrial area. The results showed that technological feasibility limitation, institutional inertia, and cognitive shortage were the main barriers to IWSD application, though stakeholders supported IWSD and preferred the vegetation‐based measures. IWSD should focus on achieving the enhancement of environmental quality, greening functions, community well‐being, traffic and driving convenience, and balancing the aesthetic demand and attractiveness of IWSD projects. Improving the threshold of IWSD measures' pollutant removal capacity and optimizing infiltration places and flow paths are also vital. Results suggest IWSD implementation requires the transformation of public awareness, the establishment of sound regulations, plus IWSD guidance, practitioner training guidance, and incentive mechanisms. The findings facilitate public acceptance, strategic planning, the formulation of regulations for future IWSD application, and achievement of sustainable industrial development. The study concludes by providing recommendations for future work. Practitioner Points Industrial Sustainable Stormwater Management is a research and practice gap. The main barriers of IWSD are technological feasibility limitation, institutional inertia, and cognitive shortage. Traffic and driving convenience, greening functions, aesthetic value balance, and health improvement are vital for improving social acceptance of IWSD. IWSD requires sound policy, awareness transformation, and reasonable design for capacity of IWSD measures and stormwater infiltration and flow.

“…Air pollution is a major problem in city centers and heavily urbanized areas [65][66][67][68][69]. Factors such as the concentration of transportation, local boiler houses, and industries in urbanized areas are all responsible for the presence of CO 2 , NO x , SO 2 , heavy metals, and suspended particulate matter in city centers [69][70][71].…”

This study presents the results of a review of publications conducted by researchers in a variety of climates on the implementation of ‘green roofs’ and their impact on the urban environment. Features of green roofs in urban areas have been characterized by a particular emphasis on: Filtration of air pollutants and oxygen production, reduction of rainwater volume discharged from roof surfaces, reduction of so-called ‘urban heat islands’, as well as improvements to roof surface insulation (including noise reduction properties). The review of the publications confirmed the necessity to conduct research to determine the coefficients of the impact of green roofs on the environment in the city centers of Central and Eastern Europe. The results presented by different authors (most often based on a single case study) differ significantly from each other, which does not allow us to choose universal coefficients for all the parameters of the green roof’s impact on the environment. The work also includes analysis of structural recommendations for the future model green roof study, which will enable pilot research into the influence of green roofs on the environment in urban agglomerations and proposes different kinds of plants for different kinds of roofs, respectively.

“…To be more precise, their performance had been compromised by a variety of influences related to their design, construction and operation. However, there is no doubt that the passive energy approach is certainly the one that, being supported by the material shape of the buildings has a direct influence on architectural language and most greatly influences architectural expressiveness (Lazzarin et al, 2002). Furthermore, form is a main tool in architectural expression.…”

Aims:The increased availability of reliable and efficient energy services stimulates new development alternatives. This article discusses the potential for such integrated systems in the stationary and portable power market in response to the critical need for a cleaner energy technology. Throughout the theme several issues relating to renewable energies, environment, and sustainable development are examined from both current and future perspectives. It is concluded that green energies like wind, solar, groundsource heat pumps, and biomass must be promoted, implemented, and demonstrated from the economic and/or environmental point view. Study design: Anticipated patterns of future energy use and consequent environmental impacts (acid precipitation, ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect or global warming) are comprehensively discussed in this article.
