How to estimate the value of green roofs and walls and how to couple it with other sustainable solutions

20 abril 2026, 16:00 • Cristina Matos Silva

•       Economic evaluation of NBS/green roofs/walls – main conclusions and challenges

•       Green walls economic evaluation in different types of infrastructures - assessing the potential

•       Buildings, residential areas, transport infrastructures, schools, hotels/hostels, etc

•       Coupling with other sustainable solutions for urban centers, e.g.,

•       Rainwater collection with green roofs – feasibility of collecting the runoff from the roof for various uses in and around a building.

•       Greywater treatment using green walls
