Mod4GrIn project was presented at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2022: Biodiversity - Stewardship for Vital Resources (23-25 May 2022). Prof. Marta Pogrzeba presented the main assumptions and goals of the Mod4GrIn project, especially its innovative approach to shaping green infrastructure in the city through the use of intelligent self-sufficient modules.
The module developed as part of the Md4Grin project consists of solutions for green roof, green wall and ground level vegetation designed for buildings, covered with stress-resistant native plant species, and equipped with water circulation system and monitoring devices configured based on the Internet of Things (IoT) approach run by solar power. The implementation of proposed approach will help in mitigation of climate changes, restoration of ecosystem functions destroyed during urbanization process by moderation of urban heat island (UHI) effect (moderation of local temperature and humidity), improvement of water retention while preventing excessive surface runoff, improving air condition, and support of the urban biodiversity and natural capital.
