Kidney vetch is a perennial with yellow flowers. Often prostrate. Likes well-drain substrates, so suits biosolar roofs. Popular with pollinators e.g. Wool carder bee; Small Blue Butterfly. Check out The Biosolar Plant Guide: biosolar-roofs.com/plants-for-b... #biosolar #biosolarroofs #biodiversity

Green roofs reduce city heat, insulate buildings, store rainwater, and give pollinators a home. They can reduce air con use by 𝟐𝟓% and 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 the life of a roof. These roofs can also absorb noise, carbon, and pollution. Pretty incredible.

Work has commenced on our first green roof research installation thanks to a collaboration between OU academics and a local Living Roof contractor. The project represents a significant stride towards sustainable urban development! Find out more: www.open.ac.uk/blogs/news/s...

Two OU scientists are at one of the rigs testing the substrate.

I find the Dutch to be very thoughtful about the aesthetics and nature in public spaces. This is a bus stop in Enschede. The bus stop has rows of plants and a living roof.

Green Walls growing from the ground up provide summer shading, winter sun and cost a fraction of systems mounted into the facade of a building. It can be called sustainable efficiency. #GreenWall #plants #sustainable #greenrooftechnolofy #commonsense
