綠屋頂 綠牆:炎熱地球 降溫之道

source:  dxmonline

大小創意邀請樹花園(Tree Garden)公司董事長李有田，
分享城市綠屋頂以及綠牆的概念。

內容包括：
1）都市屋頂或露台、陽台，外牆面綠化的科學意義。
2）世界各地，包括臺灣，成功的實例。
3）在臺灣，屋頂、露台、陽台、外牆面綠化的基本設計概念 及基礎知識。
4）常見的錯誤的想法。
5）果樹、蔬菜種植的可能性。

垂直綠化的好處，包括了：

1）隔熱節能省電 擺脫西曬房子的夢靨。
2）生物多樣性與生態跳島。
3）減緩都市熱島效應。
4）停滯雨水減緩驟雨涇流造成馬路淹水。
5）美化建築物成為地標。
6）政府綠建築和都更獎勵綠牆施作增加容積率。

我們能為這塊土地做什麼？
將平面的不透水鋪面儘量改成【透水鋪面】，
讓雨水可以滲入地下，回補地下水
讓驟雨帶來的雨水，
先濕潤土壤儲存起來，多餘的才排走，
也不會造成排水管道的洩水能量超載，讓馬路積水。

土地失去的綠意，我們努力從空中補回來，
讓都市成為補償綠意的最佳舞台。

Allan Savory: How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change

source: TEDtalksDirector 2013-03-04
"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
