Welcome to the “Green Room”<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Last Friday, the “Green Room” of Griesheim city, the “shady meeting place in the city center”<\/a>, including our WallBreeze<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>modules, was officially opened during the Griesheim Summer Festival in the presence of our CEO, Peter S\u00e4nger.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The City of Griesheim and “all the companies involved that […] helped to improve the quality of stay in the city center through various projects”<\/a>, including Helix Pflanzensysteme GmbH, CITY DECKS, and wer denkt was GmbH, were present and “provided information about the various measures at different booths”<\/a>, said Katharina Fast from the city administration. Both residents and visitors were invited to join and, as the city’s motto suggests, “be in the middle of it, closer to the action”, the event also served as “an information day for citizens”<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“The City of Griesheim is making an important contribution to climate protection with the implementation […]. The freestanding moss walls on site will absorb polluted air and convert harmful substances into biomass and fresh air”, emphasized Lukas Reinelt from the municipal environmental office.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The WallBreeze<\/strong><\/em><\/a> modules are also equipped with a film that “contains information about the functionality of the moss walls”<\/a> and allows passers-by and citizens to “digitally access the performance of the moss walls in terms of air purification and cooling”<\/a> via QR code. The “backside of the moss wall parallel to Wilhelm-Leuschner-Stra\u00dfe will also receive a device that allows posters for event announcements to be hung there in the future”<\/a>, according to the municipal project manager, Diana Richter.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The “quality of stay and lingering for visitors of the ‘Green Room'”<\/a> was also enhanced with “refurbished benches”<\/a> and the “installation of senior-friendly and barrier-free seating options”<\/a>. The moss filters and coolers will further improve the situation in the coming summer months: The “noticeable cooling on hot summer days”<\/a> will be achieved through evaporative cooling, lowering the temperature in the “immediate vicinity by up to 4 degrees Celsius”<\/a>. “At the same time, the system can clean nearly 8,500 cubic meters of air per hour, which corresponds to the breathing volume of approximately 17,000 people, and filter out up to 82 percent of harmful fine dust”<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
