Green facades can contribute to building energy efficiency, durability, aesthetic value, sustainability, and cost effectiveness in the performance of ecological system services. This course examines the considerations required for successful green facade installations and includes discussions on system selection, design, plant selection, maintenance, and client/owner education.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Promote, advocate, and plan for the inclusion of green facades as an integrated component of the building envelope assembly based on sustainability, deliverable benefits, and performance capabilities.
  • Identify the differences between two- and three-dimensional green facade systems, explaining how they must be anchored to ensure a safe, stable installation.
  • List and discuss considerations to be addressed in the design, planning, installation, and maintenance phases of a green facade so it meets both the aesthetic and energy-efficiency goals of the project.
  • Specify a green facade system, including vines, soils, infrastructure requirements, and maintenance programming, to help mitigate the urban heat island effect, manage stormwater, and improve air quality.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
