The wild Climate Wall

Once the system has been developed, 60 m² of an existing façade on the Fraunhofer Campus in Stuttgart will be greened. Habitat structures for wild animals, especially birds and bats, are being developed and integrated into the climate wall. The flora of the wall is adapted to the requirements of birds and bats and is characterized above all by a high diversity of species and structures. The microclimatic effects of the wall will be measured and analyzed. The focus is not only on recording the cooling potential of the climate wall on the surroundings, but also on identifying the hygrothermal conditions in the habitat structures. The effects of the system are compared with the requirements of a healthy microclimate for humans, flora and fauna. In this way, the potential for reducing heat stress can be identified and the habitat qualities for flora and fauna can be specifically optimized.
