Sustainable purification of greywater with green walls
(Corresponding) Boano F., Caruso A., Costamagna E., Fiore S., Demichelis F., Ridolfi L., Galvão A., Pisoeiro J., Rizzo A., Masi F.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In this study, we describe a sustainable system for treatment and reuse of grey wastewater in urban areas through vertical green walls constructed on unused surfaces of buildings. The system integrates the benefits linked to the introduction of green spaces in urban areas with the advantages...Read more

Use of ornamental plants in floating treatment wetlands for greywater treatment in buildings: preliminary results
(Corresponding) Stefanatou A., Schiza S., Petousi I., Rizzo A., Masi F., Fyllas N., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs), have been recognized by many researchers for their efficiency in removing pollutants and thus improving wastewater quality. Despite their wide use for treating various types of wastewater, little is known about their efficiency in greywater treatment. In this...Read more
Green walls for greywater treatment and reuse in Mediterranean countries
Martinuzzi N., Rivai K., (Corresponding) Rizzo A., Masi F., Sarnari B., BOUSSELMI L.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
This paper describes four case studies in which two types of green walls are implemented for greywater treatment and reuse in Mediterranean countries, Living walls and Green façade. Green walls are vertical vegetated systems that can be integrated into urban environments, providing various benefits...Read more

The building façade as an active skin: Water bio-remediation through a probiotic layer system
Almpani-Lekka D., (Corresponding) Zavoleas Y.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
In 2020, the United Nations demonstrated that the building sector is responsible for 38% of all energy-related CO2 emissions [1]. Architecture as an invasive practice, bears a responsibility and the capacity to minimize its negative ecological impact. This study investigates alternative...Read more
