La tecnologia/The technology

• Key data consolidation: Continue extracting data from the School of Arch. Vallés prototypes. Requires an entire one-year cycle. Then, the prototypes will be disassembled to determine the progression of the roots in the substrate.
• Pilot construction: refurbishing one facade of the School of Arch. Barcelona premises. The objective is to assay the building process and validate the system’s final image over time. This pilot will be used as a “showroom” for clients.
• Design: elements that complement the system and cannot be found in the market.
• Test campaign carried out in accredited laboratories to obtain a Suitability for Use Document (DAU) issued by ITEC or a European Technical Approval Document (DITE) issued by Torroja.

Avantatges innovadores/Innovative advantages

Impacts:

• The social impact of the proposal is its effect on psychological, sensory, and health factors to create less harsh urban environments.
• In the economic field, an improvement in insulation reduces energy consumption with the consequent economic impact and revaluation of the building.
• A reduction in energy consumption has a favourable impact on environmental effects, along with a decrease in the heat island effect and air sanitation.
