Improving the thermal comfort in mixed-use areas through cost-effective green infrastructure

Greening measures are an effective and sustainable way to cool urban areas naturally and thus achieve significant energy savings in buildings and lower CO2 emissions. 6B47 is developing a mixed-use development with commercial and office space as well as about 800 residential units in the 22nd district of Vienna, which will be used in the project in the sense of a "real laboratory" as an experimental space to simulate, implement and monitor the effects of various green structures in a real environment. Special solutions are being developed that offer practical and, at the same time, scientifically sound assistance to the City of Vienna and real estate developers on how to take the microclimatic effects into account as early as possible during the planning stage and how to optimally compensate for the negative effects of additional sealing through greening measures.
