 Abstract

Bioreceptivity in building envelopes is a new type of facade greening system which thrives to improve the urban climate. In this type of facade greening the building envelope acts as a mediating layer between indoor and external conditions. This research focuses on the impact of the implementation of bioreceptive facade panels in the urban climate of The Netherlands; this includes designing in the urban climate and measuring what benefits these plants can bring, and how they can contribute to their own existence in their habitat.
