Green ScreensGreen screens are comprised of a planter and a mesh upon which climber vegetation grows, thus forming a screen which can be attached to buildings or used in the place of traditional fencing. The structure of green screens makes them easier to install and maintain than other vertical greening systems (VGS), meaning they are relatively inexpensive. This is their main advantage over other vertical greening systems such as living walls, as well as more traditional tree planting. Along with policy, local-scale interventions such as this could be an effective tool in future climate change mitigationUoG Green Screen TrialThis green screen trial forms the first experimental section of the project and is part of a wider University initiative called the 'Smart Campus'. Air pollution and flooding are major global urban challenges. This trial, which is the first of it's kind in Scotland, is designed to evaluate how well green screens compare to traditional construction hoarding to trap air pollutants and slow down rainfall runoff. It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council with support from Arup, Mobilane and Multiplex.Additionally, undergraduate research will assess public perception of the screens. This links to the potential mental health benefits.

绿色屏风绿色屏风是由一个花盆和一个网状物组成，攀缘植物生长在网状物上，从而形成一个屏风，可以附着在建筑物上或用于传统围栏的地方。绿色屏幕的结构使它们比其他垂直绿化系统（VGS）更容易安装和维护，这意味着它们相对便宜。这是它们相对于其他垂直绿化系统（如活墙）以及更传统的植树的主要优势。沿着政策，地方规模的干预措施，如这可能是一个有效的工具，在未来的气候变化减缓UoG绿色屏幕审判这绿色屏幕审判形式的第一个实验部分的项目，是一个更广泛的大学倡议的一部分，称为“智能校园”。空气污染和洪水是全球城市面临的主要挑战。这项试验是苏格兰首次进行此类试验，旨在评估绿色屏幕与传统建筑围板相比在捕获空气污染物和减缓降雨径流方面的效果。它由工程和物理科学研究理事会资助，并得到了奥雅纳、Mobilane和Multiplex的支持。此外，本科生的研究将评估公众对屏幕的看法。这与潜在的心理健康益处有关。
