The Risk of Humidity at Greened Façades

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper shows the results of a project that investigated the humidity of the air in the ventilation gap of a green façade system. The systems which were investigated are made of aluminium troughs, aluminium modules, or fleece. These systems are mounted on metal rails. The metal rails connect the façade with the plants. This creates a curtain façade that is ventilated by air. The humidity of the air in the gap was investigated, and this paper shows the results of the investigation.
