Development of indicators for performance assessment of blue-green infrastructures

(Corresponding) Kretschmer F., Prenner F., Ertl T., Pucher B.
Topic: 
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The application of blue-green infrastructures in urban areas incorporate various benefits and is thus widely accepted today.

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

Use of recycled construction and demolition waste as substrate in hybrid constructed wetlands for the treatment of Olive Mill Wastewater.

Kotsia D., Anastasiadi Z., (Corresponding) Fountoulakis M.
Topic: 
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid constructed wetlands (CWs) for treating olive mill wastewater (OMW) using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste as substrate material. The experiment was conducted at the outdoor research facility of the...Read more
