Structural design considerations for living walls

This presentation will introduce a new project by the Association of Green Roofs and Living Walls, focused on developing technical guidelines for the structural loading of green facades. Its aim is to supplement the existing methodology for green facades with information regarding the weight of vegetation, the effects of water and wind, and combined structural loads. The outcome will be an informative appendix supporting the safe and responsible design of green façades in Czech practice. The project is supported by the Ministry of the Environment.
