Purmerend
Together with residents and the municipality of Purmerend, we are working on a Basic Social Plan Renovation for Wheermolen-Oost. In the coming period, various buildings in the district will be renovated and newly built. Renovation has startet the beginning of November 2023. A notable aspect of this project is the application of Respyre's VertiScape for a more sustainable facade solution. On the side of the building, we have initiated a test with a moss wall. This innovative use of VertiScape transforms the urban environment into a green, nature-inclusive space. The moss wall aims to enhance air quality, reduce noise pollution, and promote biodiversity. The municipality and Intermaris are collaborating to create a healthier and greener Wheermolen-Oost, with this project marking the first time moss has been applied to such a large wall in the Netherlands.
This project consists of a wall of 250m2 of VertiScape in the NE facade of D' Groene Citer. Environmentally, the wall absorbs over 350 kg of CO2* annually, equivalent to planting about 17 trees. Additionally, it mitigates air pollution by absorbing 7.5 kg of NO3*, 75 kg of NH3*, and 1.5 kg of fine dust each year. The wall also prevented 12 tons of concrete waste annually by utilizing recycled concrete from demolished buildings. *According to litterature
Experience the beauty of nature in your building with VertiScape. VertiScape plaster retrofits existing walls with a layer of bioreceptive concrete directly plastered onto existing walls. This specialised concrete acts as a perfect substrate for moss growth, fostering a vibrant and sustainable vertical landscape. By incorporating VertiScape plaster into your facade, you can transform existing walls into lush greenery, adding a touch of natural beauty, promoting biodiversity, and reducing heat stress in the building and neighborhood. That is why bioreceptive concrete represents an opportunity for renovating existing infrastructures in line with the urban standards of the future. It helps to reduce the heat island effect, assists with CO2 capture, and promotes new spaces for biodiversity in cities.
