“…A double-skin green façade, or green curtain, is often one of the preferred structural options since it requires minimum subsequent maintenance and can be easily assembled, disassembled, and integrated into the building maintenance schedule [123,124]. A similar option is a vine covered trellis suspended over a roof, known as a green cloak.…”

Nature has provided humankind with food, fuel, and shelter throughout evolutionary history. However, in contemporary cities, many natural landscapes have become degraded and replaced with impermeable hard surfaces (e.g., roads, paving, car parks and buildings). The reversal of this trend is dynamic, complex and still in its infancy. There are many facets of urban greening initiatives involving multiple benefits, sensitivities and limitations. The aim of this paper is to develop a characterisation method of nature based solutions for designing and retrofitting in the built environment, and to facilitate knowledge transfer between disciplines and for design optimisation. Based on a review of the literature across disciplines, key characteristics could be organised into four groups: policy and community initiatives, multiple benefits assessment, topology, and design options. Challenges and opportunities for developing a characterisation framework to improve the use of nature based solutions in the built environment are discussed.

“…Estudos feitos na região de clima mediterrâneo por Pérez et al (2011) e sua equipe de pesquisadores espanhóis apontaram que a diferença térmica obtida nas paredes com superfícies protegidas por sistemas de Fachada Verde podem ser de até 15,2ºC em relação às paredes expostas ao sol, entre os meses de agosto e setembro. Nos demais meses a média de variações foi de 5,2ºC.…”

RESUMO -As fachadas de qualquer edificação localizada na cidade de Curitiba necessitam de tratamentos adequados as frequentes variações climáticas, caracterizadas pelas rápidas amplitudes térmicas ao longo dos dias, e temperatura intensas de frio e calor nas estações bem definidas de inverno e verão. Os sistemas de fachadas vegetais estão se tornando opções para melhorar o desempenho térmico de edificações bem como a sensação de conforto dos usuários. Este artigo tem como objetivo escolher dentre 4 sistemas, o sistema de fachada vegetal mais apropriado à cidade de Curitiba, de acordo com oito critérios estabelecidos. O método utilizado é o Processo de Análise Hierárquica (PAH), criada por Thomas Saaty, que consiste fundamentalmente em tomadas de decisões de multi-critérios. Os resultados indicaram que o sistema de fachada vegetal com manta é a melhor solução com 30,17% de toda pontuação, embora sendo a opção de custo mais elevado e a que mais necessita manutenção.Palavras-chave: Fachada Vegetal, Análise Hierárquica, Curitiba.ABSTRACT -The facades of any building located in the city of Curitiba require frequent treatments suitable climatic variations, characterized by rapid thermal amplitudes over the days, intense cold and heat temperatures well defined seasons in winter and summer. The greenery facade systems are becoming techniques to improve the thermal performance of buildings and the users comfort sensation. This article aims to choose from 4 systems, the green façade system appropriate to the city of Curitiba, in accordance with eight established criteria. The method is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), created by Thomas Saaty, which basically consists of making multi-criteria decisions. The results indicated that the greenary façade system with blanket is best solution with 30.17% of all score, although the option is more expensive and requires more maintenance.

“…In such environments it is possible for plants to be placed in small strips of soil in front of buildings (if available) and in the non-constructed inner areas of residential blocks. Apart from the other advantages they offer; green roofs and green facades seem to be a good solution for the control of temperature changes in buildings in the Mediterranean region; although at present they have a limited distribution [10,11]. The same is also true of ventilated double-skin roofs and facades; which; on the basis of studies in similar climatic conditions; have been shown to play a positive role in controlling and modulating the effects of outside temperature on indoor thermal comfort conditions [12].…”

Most of the environmental influences on buildings are variable by their very nature. This fact creates a need for diverse solutions in energy and environmental design and construction that can facilitate optimum building performance throughout the changing periods. Such solutions, in order to be successful, should be compatible with the climatic, and more generally environmental, conditions that prevail in the region where they are applied. Solutions that satisfy these requirements can come from a wide variety of fields, ranging from vernacular architecture to applications of smart materials and technologies. This paper presents an overview of conventional design and construction measures and practices for managing the variable environmental influences on buildings in the Mediterranean region. To that end, it identifies the environmental factors whose variable behaviour influences the energy and environmental performance of the buildings that are subject to them, and it also evaluates their impact. The study goes on to describe and evaluate the design and construction choices and practices that are implemented in buildings in the region to manage these influences. The aim of this work is to report on the main characteristics of these methods and investigate any ways in which they might be improved.
