Implementation guidelines on green wall and green roofs

The Implementation Guideline on Green Wall and Green Roofs has been developed based on practical experiences of piloting Green Wall and Green Roofs in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province, Viet Nam in the scope of the “Support to Viet Nam for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement” (VN-SIPA) project, funded by BMWK through IKI. The guideline aims at enabling the implementation of such measures in a variety of other contexts and locations by providing basic technical concepts, details of benefits, and implementation procedures.

Practical examples are introduced with brief information. In particular, the green walls and green roofs installations in Dong Hoi City will be described in detail to illustrate the general concepts outlined herein. A review of the global scientific literature and accumulated practical knowhow, especially from those countries with similar climate contexts to Vietnam was provided. At the same time, the document provides general principles for the effective implementation of green walls and green roofs rather than prescribe any specific technical standards or mandatory regulations. They aim to disseminate information, raise awareness, and promote the installation of green walls and green roofs in the local context.
