BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPING BUILDINGS
Green walls and green roofs bring great benefits to the environment, buildings and people. They allow the natural processes of plants to be harnessed to combat many problems in cities and indoor spaces. Benefits include:
ENVIRONMENT

INSTITUTIONS
1. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Plants fix many pollutants in the air and increase CO2 fixation, reduce the temperature of their environment and provide relative humidity through evapotranspiration (mitigating the heat island effect in cities); they dampen the effect of heavy rainfall, retain dust and encourage biodiversity in urban centres.
Urban sprawl damages biodiversity, causing the extinction of species and affecting the biosphere. Landscaping helps to enrich and conserve a wide variety of insects, birds and other living things in urban centres, preserving biodiversity.

2. BENEFITS FOR BUILDINGS
Plants provide oxygen, moisture and biofilter volatile organic pollutants (VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde, improving indoor air quality. Outdoors, they improve the acoustic and thermal insulation of walls, reducing energy consumption, and extending the life of waterproofing, among many other benefits.

3. BENEFITS TO INDIVIDUALS
Plants improve well-being, comfort, concentration and productivity in work environments. They also allow us to connect with living elements, reinforcing our biophilic need, inspire us and make us happier. Studies confirm that in health care facilities, plants help to reduce the length of patient stays.

4. BENEFITS FOR COMPANIES/INSTITUTIONS
Green facades are systems that allow the companies that implement them to express, in a visual and forceful way, their concern and attention for the creation of more friendly, sustainable and healthy environments for their customers. This generates a positive impact on the recognition of their brand image. And this has a positive impact in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
