  • Short description
    • The BIG4LIFE project aims to achieve the co-design of framework plans for co-maintenance, co-monitoring and co-evaluation of impacts, of Building-Integrated Greenery (BIG) systems, i.e. green roofs and facades, under the demanding conditions of the Mediterranean climate. The BIG4LIFE project will demonstrate that by applying xeriscaping and networking approaches, supported by the suitable smart solutions, not only the long-term viability of BIG systems is feasible, but also their positive service life, in terms of ecosystem services provided, is possible to be enhanced. The BIG4LIFE project will contribute to the New European Bauhaus initiative through the reduction of environmental impacts of new and refurbished buildings, the creation of circular value chains to boost urban economies whilst producing urban and territorial regeneration, as well as enhancing citizen’s well-being and supporting biodiversity in the urban environment
