In mid-April 2023, the first EVAPO+ green wall was completed at the new municipal office in Strasshof! The green wall was already on display during the open house (April 15, 2023) on the east-facing rooftop terrace of the new municipal office. Since then, thanks to the sun and rain, it has blossomed into a beautiful display of flowers and plants.
What is an EVAPO+ green wall?
A unique feature of the “EVAPO+ Green Walls” in the “Strasshof. Klimafit!” project: The green walls developed as part of the project have a particularly high cooling effect and primarily serve as “natural air conditioning” for outdoor areas. The name of the green wall is derived from the term “evapotranspiration,” which can essentially be translated as “evaporative cooling.” Evapotranspiration refers to the evaporation that occurs through plants, water, soil, and substrates.
EVAPO+ green walls are versatile. They can be installed on buildings, combined with shade-providing pergola structures, or used as freestanding room dividers—for example, on patios and in seating areas.
