The use of green infrastructure is well-established, as evidenced by the green roofs on many of today’s buildings around the world. However, they usually remain out-of-sight and out-of-mind. On the other hand, green façades could have more effect on the building environment than a green roof, given that wall surface areas can be as much as 20 times greater. And they look spectular! https://bit.ly/3Cckz8A

Ever wondered how green infrastructure can increase your property value? Green infrastructure is so much more than just an aesthetically pleasing feature for your building. Beyond aesthetics, green infrastructure features can boost your property value by reducing operating costs and enhancing tenant satisfaction.

👉 Calling all landlords and facilities people.... 👉 How Automated Shading Can Help Achieve BREEAM Credits 👉 Residential and commercial architects are increasingly expected to demonstrate their environmental commitment and comply with evolving regulations. 👉 Achieving BREEAM rating is a key objective for projects, to demonstrate minimising environmental impact and meeting more demanding regulatory standards. 👉 One effective method to gain BREAAM points, is to reduce carbon emissions and enhance occupant wellbeing by fully optimising natural light and heat sources through the use of automated blinds and shading systems. 👉 In this blog, we will explore BREEAM ratings in more detail and discuss how Umbra’s automated shading systems can help earn valuable BREEAM credits in specific areas. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eukyhrFj 📱 01792 562015, 📧 sales@umbrashading.co.uk or umbrashading.co.uk #hoteldesign #umbrablinds #smartbuildings #interiordesign #blackout #Hotel #Hotelblinds #rooflightblinds #rollerblinds #romanblind #curtainsandblinds #specification #specifiers #hotelier #evolve #EZ #familybusiness #dynamicshading #thermalefficiency #motorisedblinds #madeinbritain #workplacewellbeing #officeshading #granddesigns #officefitout #shadingcontracts

DISCUSSING THE FUTURE OF BREMERHAVEN’S INNER CITY. Earlier this month, Henk Stadens and Robin Schliephake presented our vision for the future city centre of Stadt Bremerhaven during a citizen’s dialogue. With around 80 attendants, it was a good opportunity to involve citizens in the future plans for the city centre, which are combined in a larger policy vision called ‘Innenstadt Neu Denken’. In their presentation, Henk and Robin emphasized the city's surrounding waterfronts and highlighted bringing green to the city. New trees and green spaces could transform areas such as the square in front of the Great Church and the Theodor-Heuss-Platz. At the same time, it can create a visual axis and thus make the Columbusstraße and its side streets serve as a better connection between the inner city and touristic Havenwelten. In developing the green strategy for the city center of Bremerhaven, Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners collaborates with De Zwarte Hond. By designing multifunctional public spaces that re-establish the relationship between these waters, a new urban nature will fill the streets and squares of the inner city. Additional green would also improve the city centre's quality of life and climate resilience. The plans and vision were well-received by the participants in the citizens' dialogue. Henk comments: “We should keep in mind when working on urban planning that we cannot look into the future. But I think Bremerhaven is seeing quite well that there are now opportunities to improve on previous urban mishaps. They actively look to the future to improve the city and make it an attractive place again.” Visuals: HISM Erlebnis Bremerhaven GmbH Ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven #dezwartehond #architecture #urbanism #strategy #connection #greening #climateconscious #bremerhaven #innenstadtneudenken #citycentre #riverfront #tourism #havenwelten #DZHprojects

For years, I've been a dedicated advocate for wooden construction, and one aspect that firmly cements my admiration is the pristine process it embodies. Modern wooden construction isn't just about creating "healthy" homes that offer a breath of fresh air in the truest sense but also about the environmentally friendly approach it entails. But there's more! The construction process itself, especially when working with modern laminated timber, is remarkably clean. It's a joy to visit a site and witness a construction environment free from mess and mud, a testament to the meticulousness and eco-consciousness of modern practices. This not only makes for a pleasant working environment but also mirrors the clean, sustainable life we aspire to lead within these wooden walls. Truly, every step forward in a wooden construction project feels like a step closer to a greener, more sustainable future. #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyConstruction #GreenBuilding #WoodenHomes #ModernConstruction #HealthyLiving #CleanConstruction #Leinos #PaintedByLeinos
