We are pleased to announce that we have received a grant decision for a new project, which will complement and continue on the path set by The European Platform for Urban Greening.
Breathegreen – For efficient green façade solutions
The aim of the Breathegreen project is to explore the performance of the new TecRoc Urban green façade solution in different climate zones, by six different partner countries in Europe. The project will be carried out in cooperation with regional Center of Vocational Excellences (CoVE), providing information and training on the new green wall system, its construction and maintenance, for both professional education and business operators.
The objectives in a nutshell:
- Six TecRoc Urban green wall systems in six partner countries.
- Training and production of training materials for teachers and company employees on system installation, monitoring and maintenance.
- Use of a web-based platform to monitor the data generated by the walls.
- The new green walls will be included in the curricula of the partner schools.
- Raising awareness of urban greening and its importance
The project involves 5 vocational schools and 6 companies from 6 European countries: the Ahlman School Foundation (AhlmanEdu) and Rakennusbetoni- ja Elementti Oy from Finland, Stichting Yuverta and Koninklijke Ginkel Groep B.V. from Netherlands, Jordbrugets Uddannelsescenter Århus and OKNygaard A/S from Denmark, Liceul Tehnologic Cezar Nicolau and Rpr Birou De Studii Contemporane from Romania, Federación EFAS CV La Malvesia and Paisajistas Del Mediterraneo Sl (Paimed) from Spain and ITTEC, S.R.O from the Czech Republic.
The project will run from 1.9.2024 to 31.8.2026. The project is funded by the Erasmus+KA220-VET programme.
The TecRoc Urban façade system, developed in Spain, is a low tec, low cost and low maintenance system, that has the potential to further green urban environments, enhancing biodiversity and reduce heat stress in cities, especially in places where there are large concrete surfaces. In comparison to regular green façade system, this system has a much lower square meter price, which would make it available for more people and organisations and will make it possible to green larger areas.
