Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas, Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research and CommLED Solutions, sp. z.o.o., partners of the project Self-sustainable, Smart Module for City Green Infrastructure In Climate Change Adaptation, invite you to participate in the final conference of the project \u201cMitigating the effects of climate change in the city - self-sustainable, smart module for urban green infrastructure\u201d, which will be held 14th of September 2023, 9.30-16.00, in Katowice, Kossutha Street 6. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Conference themes <\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

There is not enough greenery in our cities and their inhabitants feel the lack of it more and more. Green roofs and walls are elements of green infrastructure in which native plant species resistant to unfavorable climatic conditions - temperature changes, drought can be used. Additionally, equipping the green infrastructure with a network of sensors, an intelligent irrigation system and powering with photovoltaics allows to reduce the expenditure related to the operation of this infrastructure. Their use may result in cost optimization in a relatively short time, not only financial, but also material and environmental. Such solutions increase the retention of rainwater, thermal insulation of buildings, improve the microclimate and aesthetics of a given place, and thus improve human well-being and the overall assessment of the quality of life in the city.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The conference goal is to provide information on project results and experiences concerning increase urban biodiversity, regulate the urban microclimate, and reduce the cost of maintaining urban greenery. During conference site demonstration of self-sufficient, intelligent module of urban green infrastructure will be presented. In addition, the event provides an excellent opportunity for networking and building a sustainable network of partner and stakeholder organisations.<\/p>\n
