New Living Architecture Academy Virtual Course on Green Wall Design: Installation and Maintenance
The Green Walls Committee of Green Roofs for Healthy Cities is thrilled to launch this new innovative course delivered through the Living Architecture Academy, Green Wall Design: Installation and Maintenance. This comprehensive program focuses on equipping designers and installers with the essential techniques, strategies, and best practices for designing, installing, and maintaining green wall systems.
Green walls are complex and multidisciplinary technologies that offer numerous benefits, both for indoor and outdoor environments. They not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also foster a direct connection with the natural environment. The success and longevity of green wall systems rely heavily on proper planning, implementation, and maintenance, ensuring their sustainability and safeguarding the supporting structures.
"The new Green Wall Design course delves into the critical aspects of planning and constructing various types of green walls," said Rachel Stauffer, former Chair of the Green Walls Committee. "Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the requirements for installing green walls and achieving optimal outcomes. This engaging and informative course goes beyond the surface and delves into the nuts and bolts of successful green wall and living wall projects, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with other trades to avoid common pitfalls and achieve positive project impacts."
