| The Atlantis Vertical Garden are designed especially for urban environments where our Gro-Wall™ systems can reduce overall temperatures of buildings which in turn reduces energy consumption. The primary cause of heat build-up in cities is insolation, the absorption of solar radiation by roads and buildings in the city and the storage of this heat in the building material and its subsequent re-radiation. Gro-Wall™ surfaces however, as a result of transpiration, do not rise more than 4–5 °C above the ambient and are sometimes cooler. Gro-Wall™ systems are particularly suitable for cities, as they allow good use of available vertical surface areas. They are also suitable in arid areas, as the circulating water on a vertical garden is less likely to evaporate than in horizontal gardens. Gro-Wall™ systems may also be a means for water reuse. The plants may purify slightly polluted water (such as greywater) by absorbing the dissolved nutrients. Bacteria mineralise the organic components to make them available to the plants. Gro-Wall™ systems can also be used for urban agriculture or urban gardening. Above all the Gro-Wall™ system adds beauty to a space and provides many environmental benefits Environment Benefits
