Melt become dangerous reservoir of hayes. Its nearly impossible to cool them down because in the understood, the city of facades which reflect, reflect and tend to make the problem worse, problems here goes off high temperatures, threatened, now health. We need to cool down as ice. Bear for say, if you have a gravel roof, make agreed for as long as Global Warming has been a reality. So has the strain of heat on our cities. Now, god miss an architects. The coming up with some cool new solutions. With carson builds is 27 meters above ground working on europes greenest tire ice barracks is passionate god, not with his green facade. Hes providing and naturally conditioner in the heart of the city. If run some fun, yes. And the leaves are starting to retract and slowly dry out. None, but thanks to our watering system. A vessel there are also fresh usa clever become mm this Shopping Center is called cool bogan to named after diesel dos, coon, exactly shopping area. The 30000 horn beam plants said to call to building to happen noise and absorb Carbon Dioxide in there. First, some of the plants are already feeling the heat. Theyre part of an effort to counteract increasing heat waves and gym and cities. A consequence of Climate Change the whole means of only be for 6 months. So this still new. This applied by a special irrigation system. All nearly 35. 00 degrees has it running with 5 leaders a day for the tubs and 15 leaders per square meter city, michigan, to muster outside. Whats that red outage most diagnosed . Im sure its a malfunction in the assets apply. Well have to go to the basement and vent it to us in the system uses a lot of water, 5000 cubic meters a year. But it has enormous benefits to city residence. Worth of, of that water gets turned into coronel women. You noticed that when you walk around out there at one in the 1st near the facade, there are significantly cooler temperatures as well as humidity isnt so taken together. Its 5000 cubic meters of water. That the people of dusseldorf get back through the system book on thursdays unlike and unlike air conditioners, the plants dont blot hot and into the city. Heat increases have been traumatic from 1961 to 1990. The average for july was 16. 9 degrees celsius in the city years after that, it was 18. 3, an increase of 1. 4 degrees. The hampton part, one of glass in high summer. Weve measured about 70 to 80 degrees celsius on glass and steel. Shuttle behind here it might be 30 or 35 degrees that ive been involved. If you look at the leaves, theyre structured in such a way that they cant get hotter than 35 or 36 degrees from the ice because the cells would burst on and the moisture would cool things down again. Room particular, but thats also why they have a cooling, a fax of us. Its just how nature works. So i feel fortunate not one night you too can experience suffering, and martin belts and his team still have what to do with the home. The implants, a few kilometers away at to source riverport, the landscape gardener is working on another project. He meets with architect christoph in hovan. He designed to pub over 2 people with him on 4th level math. Now about this, we dont jump right into it in the fall, but we take a look together and decide whether we could do it before the new leaves come in the spring. Just, id like to look at it with you on site visit. I might inflicted some helps to pay, i have completed many projects together in an oven, and his architectural studio have focused on sustainable building since the 19. 00 ninetys winning many awards. Now he wants to shake up urban planning on hows fallen did you, when you build a house like this one, for example, when youre using up a piece of landed on a piece of the earth, if you well d. And you can think about the green mass that would be on the side as untouched forest. If you were to just leave it to its own devices for 50 years, newsome forces management. And so if we evaluate the ecological and social value of the nature that would otherwise be there, then we have to do something that compensates for us toward this docile to as long as sits like the roof with the home beam plants. But its not just city centers. Chimneys industrial signs need to become greater to research is in once to land are about to take to the sky. And then whats the humidity you push to 90 percent until 90 percent. And if you schneider is doing a final with a check, its going to be hot and humid day perfect. The head project, the measurement engineer is going to fly over some specific Industrial Areas from the air should use the thermal imaging. Can she get precise dosher from Industrial Facilities . Should be able to see the temperature values of individual companies, streets, and squares these days, many Industrial Zones dont ever properly cool down in summer. The project is run by a non profit. The bone summit shown with funding from germanys ministry for education and research. The goal is to reduce heat from Industrial Areas, making the more sustainable. Unless it does the alcohol, you can see that there is no cooling left. But frightening was if you can tell what a built up area is like, and whether there are differences, whether fresh air can pass through, whether trees or a river have an effect. And how permeable surfaces are you can see a difference between tara and paved, or if its paved with granite because that heats up quite differently. The differences are there to see. The thermal images are precise with whom the areas blue and hotter parts red down on the ground. Uncle valentine is in the book halt, industrial zone. The thermal images help us. You convince local authorities and companies to make changes because Industrial Areas are quite literally hot spots either there anyone who knows Industrial Areas knows that they have many parking lots and a lot of wide roads for the trucks and lots of stationary vehicles. Yeah. Theres a lot of space that simply covered with asphalt, which also means theres a lot of potential to change things. With rising temperatures, the heat in these areas increasingly affects the people who work here to in germany, around 56 heck tis of nature and countryside lost every day. Thats the size of 76. 00 football fields. The government had aim to reduce this 50 to 30 heck to his by 2020, but thats now being postponed to 2030 this wild plant bed was only planted in the spring on co valentine is here to make Business Owner cottage malik. And gardner t o grungy in law. Very good to see if the plants have already made a difference. O at off my house. Lets see what the airplane brought us have the read or it is the hotter it is. Is the highest. And were here. Heres the bed. Oh yeah. Oh yes, nice and blue. Oh oh man. Yeah, i understand. Um you might think its the effect of summer passing. But the cooling effect is still really big light compared to the street which is bright red canada water. It was worth it happy. All right . Yes. Are there any other places where you think you could change a couple of things . Yeah, of yes, one problem is that our Office Buildings are quite warm, letty farmers, and even more so on the production floor. Sharlack is a medium sized Family Business that produces machinery. When temperatures outside your extreme welding can make the workplace seem like a furnace. Current panic wants to change that. Thats what it is that high when its really hot. Employees have the option of starting an hour earlier and leaving earlier in the afternoon occurred better working conditions, one thing. But if greener, Industrial Zones can reduce heat in the outer suburbs, it will also have an impact on the climate in the city centers. Thats why the company aimed to gradually replace seal surfaces with greenery. Anchor valentine also convinced the young entrepreneur to invest in a green roof. The 140 square meter flat roof is well suited to provide natural cooling right next to the factory. Without guns, its great that Something Like this is possible and these sorts of buildings or holt is one of 10 pilot municipalities. I mean to transform new industrial states as response to Climate Change the im, your killed would be, well, whats, its going to be a modular system, indiana club, these boxes click together with just some matting underneath and when the kiss and the boxes will be lined up one after the other, your foot, its easy to see the advantage you normally rainwater would flow right into this drain. But this system can retain 20 leaders of rain water per square meter for us. Thats all god that will provide additional cooling. Because the measurements show that the gravel, he was 29 degrees even with cloud cover. I think even these few plants a 3 degrees cooler. M e v i v. Im not sure. Of course it would be ideal if there were greenery everywhere. I will have to speak to the neighbors again that had from our to his book on a director vehicle. Then it would have an effect on the street. Its just the 1st step, like every little step helps vanish at every little surface kind of the greening system. Costs around 70. 00 euros per square meter, but the counsel providing 10 is the subsidy. Its a start in other places, such efforts have long been Standard Practice the singapore government, supporting targeted efforts to bring nature back to the city. The city state is a pioneer. Its been greening high rise building since the 1960 s mm. Their gardens parks and greenery on all levels. Architect thomas shrugged the researches the effects such buildings have on people and the urban climate. The unknown there to boy the here at the interlaced complex, the arrangement of buildings contributes to optimal ventilation. The complex itself is already on a hill and were also not far from the sea ice cream off the air. Sure that theres always a very nice breeze passing through, which is used at the level of the complex as a whole, to cool the outdoor spacers, but also in the individual apartments where you have really nice crossed ventilation, keeping the building cool to support through ha, ah, singapore requires buildings to have at least as much green space as was cleared to make way for construction. Otherwise, there will be no Building Permit truck for and his colleague also research the effects these Green Buildings hat society that is a Community Garden for quite interesting. Its an extremely pleasant space for them to actually come together. They also do the thing about community cooking, where whatever produce they go up there. So its a nice way of engaging them. His accounts, all of these green spaces are open to the public. So the residents from the surrounding buildings can use them just as much as the people who live here. Yes, of course, that increases the value of the neighborhood is where these kinds of buildings are located. Origin thomas short for works at the future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore University of technology and design. During the pandemic post, employees awaken from home they evaluate Data Collected from the buildings for often with surprising results themselves from vice for them that want us all. For example, we look at what bird species are found to us pictures. And we find that in terms of biodiversity on buildings like these actually perform much better the size of oil, the course of this, even though theyre densely inhabited. And you also find a lot of bird species there that you wouldnt expect, or mr. Bar as well as great a bio diversity to buildings, helped to cool this surroundings. Residents consume less energy and are able to enjoy new social spaces. Dessert is a good boy, doesnt mind about i think these buildings are great examples of how dense and have a taishan can go hand in hand with quality of the space been up to one is irish. Thus, germany can also look at this combination as proof that density isnt automatically bad for the environment. List. For the most part, ideas from singapore can be applied to gym and cities, especially the realization that mo greenery is a good response to Climate Change. Had central construction sites, motion belts is working towards a green, a city. This high rise building is getting a roof of plants using compressed air. The plant soil is transported to the 9th floor. A logistical challenge built is one of a 160. 00 employees at a firm based in the city of hooper, tom, which specializes in these sorts of projects. Just give it out of everything will grow soon. Right now it looks completely dry, like its just dirt on top of the material is going to store water and then slowly release at russell gifted lungs, them up from dusseldorf to the Cathedral City of cologne. The top floor of this plant hotel will eventually be a small, far saw the great 6 floors up with no elevator at my age. Hydro holly against me today, i have to check the plant draws through the grey plant and boxes on the buildings. Ruth and sides will soon be house me to high plants. Likewise if albany body of the dom arkansas wouldnt, it looks very good. Oh, the drains are clean and tidy as planned. Then theres nothing in the way of it. Im a lets go around the corner again. Yeah, belts is a meticulous planner. Zima zip the 77 large trees were fuss about 380 smaller trees under since and a few 1000 shrubs and grasses and bushes and smaller plants of exit. To secure the larger order of trees, shrubs and bushes. Belts heads to the netherlands, hes worked closely with the tree farm here for years. They share the same notion of quality. Ah, this is no simple shopping trip, as well as martin belts in his colleague Landscape Architects and the investor are also involved in them with this. This is the North Eastern side. I think the theory, the tree right on the corner there on the account for me in that position. Its an important tree and we still boggles fish on sophomore. Lets take a look at it this way. Hes a victim. The tree farm covers a total of 500. 00 heck tis. Its 4th generation Family Business. Ah. Was looking at the marcus. Cool brigade is the resident expert fellow. He knows everything about his clients on the yeah, you can already see the fruit forming the folks on that. So its a 35 year old metal, a tree, especially tolerant to hate. Martin belts carefully selects the right tree from the long road. The old, the tree, the more expensive it is. They can cost several 1000. 00 euros. So this some hard bargaining. Good its you, thered be an additional price of 8. 00 or 900. 00. Was me additional . Yes or no way that honestly, that wouldnt be good value, but if he chooses another tree, what did they always come to an agreement . This is number 56. 00 for now. Yes. Current cologne is heat, wave central. Something has to change your cities wont be livable anymore. Mm the bill for the hotels trees is over a 100000. 00 euros. Good junky. Oh, good james. Again, im d o a the children of the st. Marine kindergarten to stream put the 100 back up and what are we going to catch that po . Tadpoles. Ok. Now were medi frogs. Hon about flows. Neither river em show in the region. A few years ago it was a stinking concrete drainage canal. Its now been re wild it a. So ill get a bucket full of water. Oh, look at whats hanging there. Went in there, sure it into the bowl. Yeah. My look, i got something here. I caught a baby nail. My my get a magnifying glass. I is that a ripple bug. I often come here to cool down. There is shade and the water keeps you cool too. I can feel the difference on the back one shiranda until she does the see. Im cool. Man, you can see the kids eyes light up as they discover everything. You have a completely different quality of life when theres water around and the kids develop in a different way than 300 kilometers of waterways in the region of being rewarded. Here. Give daisy and there are so many animals here when im impressed that everything grow. So fast, yeah, im next bound box is part of the regional project, aims to make waterways contribute to sustainable cooling. The kindergarten play area was specially designed by class. You come and only pet. So from the hampshire Water Authority, they saw that there was no reason for rainwater to go into the sewage. Instead, it floods the area and then slowly drains. So it provides both natural cooling and a cool place for the kids. I have the islam, its enough. My hands are still wet from the hose and i can feel them getting cooler when i moved them. If i saw, the fixture cooler, the water evaporates and cools them. Its your, its the same principle with our seepage system for doing that. Water evaporates and cools. Whats around it . As i showed us a film thats what were aiming for, to harness the water and keep it here. So it cools things down through evaporation. It wont like to see until financials killed by the portrait or she wants to harness 25 percent of local surface water in this way by 2040 in an effort to keep residents cool. Ah. The same principle is being used in town to next door to the kindergarten. Water is channel directly from the church roof into a sloping meadow. Rainwater is a natural air conditioner, even on busy streets. Give us over just into chandel, germanys Water Management and the population in general are going to face challenges from increasing Climate Change drought and significantly lower rainfall, especially in summer via also in were in danger of seeing Drinking Water being ration from ca does also not after long dry spells fish of ice, there may not be enough water to meet the demands of industry of agriculture. And the people think fossil fuel knows many places in the rural region, a completely rethinking how they treat and use water for over a century. The m sure was heavily polluted, but thats changing. Ah, the river flows from dorman through the roof, icy columbus is. Before joining the rhine near, didnt slacken in the future. Waste water will be routed through a special close canal. While Everything Else will find a different way that happens, looked up. We moved just under 700000 cubic meters of earth
