The Adivet publishes the Professional Recommendations for Green Facade Cladding Systems

The Professional Recommendations for Green Facade Cladding Systems (RP BRV) provide all the necessary information for the design, installation, and maintenance of vertical greening systems, such as cladding systems, whether modular or continuous. Introduction to the document.

At the end of 2024, Adivet published the Professional Recommendations for Green Facade Cladding Systems. The document provides all the necessary information for the design, installation, and maintenance of vertical greening systems, such as cladding systems, whether modular or continuous.

As recent technical solutions, these Professional Recommendations fill the gap of a specific framework in this field.

The greening of facades offers the following main benefits:

  • contribution to the thermal comfort of the building;
  • reduction of ambient noise;
  • increase in humidity and air cooling through evapotranspiration;
  • contribution to air pollution reduction by the aerial parts of plants and microorganisms within the growing medium that capture dust and break down pollutants;
  • aesthetic advantage for the building through the presence of vegetation;
  • support for biodiversity.

The purpose of this document is to define the design, implementation, and maintenance principles for vertical greening systems of the BRV type, aimed at project managers, clients, builders, and contractors.
