Integrated Green Grey Infrastructure Framework Accelerator

绿色基础设施是一个术语，用来描述我们在城镇中看到的自然环境元素-传统的草、树、花坛和公园，但也有更多的创新元素，如绿色屋顶和绿色墙壁。IGGIFrame项目研究了大约40项创新技术，以包括需要主要保持灰色的“灰色”(非建筑)基础设施上的绿色基础设施。这些例子通常不包括在绿色基础设施政策和实践中--我们的项目解决了这一差距。例如，海堤通常是由光滑的混凝土制成的，但通过浇注它们具有一些质地，例如模仿天然石头，它们可以为藤壶和其他物种提供栖息地，对于藤壶来说，它们还可以保护混凝土免受破坏，有助于延长沿海建筑的设计寿命。IGGIFrame项目开发了一个框架，以确定这些实例的效果如何，以及与光滑的海堤等传统的灰色选择相比，它们的成本是多少。这为与传统灰色方案相比选择绿色灰色解决方案创造了明确的效益评估和财务基础。该项目由英国各地的主要政府和行业合作伙伴共同制作，旨在支持其他希望实施这些绿色基础设施创新的人。虽然IGGIFrame项目是共同制作的，但除了协助设计工具外，在伙伴组织中测试和嵌入该工具的时间有限。伙伴组织还要求提供补充材料，以支持其组织内的执行工作(例如，威尔士自然资源部要求提供的证据摘要)。后续资金将允许我们在5个不同的组织中进一步测试和嵌入该工具。这也将使我们能够研究如何在组织制定决策的过程中考虑IGGI和IGGIFrame，然后创建一个战略计划-路线图，以帮助他们在未来包括绿色灰色基础设施。嵌入的过程将是迭代的，并使我们能够开发一个改进的、经过测试的IGGIFrame版本，其中明确说明合作组织如何使用它。改进后的版本将放在一个网站上(例如http://www.oppla.eu/marketplace))，其他人，如工程师、地方当局和顾问，可以上传他们的计划的细节，供其他人学习、支持和贡献。这将创建一个活生生的IGGI例子清单，供从业者参考。

Green infrastructure is a term used to describe the elements of the natural environment we see in our towns and cities - traditional grass, trees, flower beds and parks but also more innovative elements like green roofs and green walls. The IGGIframe project examined around 40 innovative techniques to include green infrastructure on "grey" (non-building) infrastructure that needs to remain primarily grey. These examples are not normally included in green infrastructure policy and practice - our project addressed this gap. For example, sea walls are typically made of smooth concrete, but by casting them to have some texture, e.g. to mimic natural stone, they can provide habitat for barnacles and other species, which can in the case of barnacles, also protect the concrete from damage, helping to extend the design life of coastal structures.The IGGIFrame project developed a framework to determine how well these examples worked, and how much they cost compared to traditional 'business as usual' grey options such as a smooth sea wall. This created a clear benefits assessment and financial basis for choosing a green grey solutions compared to conventional grey options. This project was co-produced by key government and industry partners across the UK and is designed to support others who want to implement these green infrastructure innovations. Whilst the IGGIframe project was co-produced, there was limited time for testing and embedding the tool in partner organisations beyond their assistance with designing the tool. Partner organisations have also requested additional materials to support implementation within their organisations (e.g. Evidence Summaries requested by Natural Resources Wales). The follow-on funding would allow us further test and embed the tool within 5 different organisation. This would also allow us to examine how consideration of IGGI and IGGIframe could be included in how the organisations make decisions, and then to create a strategic plan - a road map, to help them include green grey infrastructure in the future.The process of embedding would be iterative and allow us to develop an improved, tested version of IGGIframe with clear testimonials of how it has been used by partner organisations. This improved version would then be hosted on a website (e.g. http://www.oppla.eu/marketplace) where other people such as engineers, local authorities and consultants could upload the details of their scheme for others to learn from, support and contribute to. This would create a living inventory of IGGI examples that practitioners could draw on.
