OBJECTIVES
To support decision makers to make robust and informed decisions regarding the real economic value of green roofs/walls solutions.
Additionally, to help design effective incentive mechanisms able to significantly leverage the large-scale develpment of such systems.
STRATEGY
To enhance cost-benefit analysis of green roofs and green walls and develop a comprehensive and systematic model for balancing environmental, economic and social benefits of green roofs and walls with the underlying extra costs, in a life cycle perspective.
