Breathegreen-TecRoc Urban is one of the spin-off projects from the European Platform for Urban Greening.
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.

About the TecRoc Urban Facade System
The TecRoc Urban facade 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.
