Total Value Wall

Total Value Wall is an innovative multidisciplinary green wall.This system functions as a full-fledged building envelope with many structural advantages (better thermal insulation, sound insulation, a positive influence on the life of the facade and a lower fire risk), visual advantages (more green in construction / green in the city) and environmental benefits(capturing particulate matter, retention of rainwater).What is new is that this green wall is also able to purify waste water into water for low-grade applications such as toilet flushing.In the project two demonstrations will take place to positively bring green walls to the attention of, among others, construction professionals and private individuals / residents of the city.Ghent University monitors water quality and carries out a cost-benefit analysis.
