    <title language="eng">The Impact of Planted Green Facades on Biodiversity and Tem perature in the immediate Surroundings of urban Buildings</title>
    <abstract language="eng">People and nature are affected by climate change in different ways. The effects of diminishing green spaces, increasing sealed spaces, and higher summer temperatures are particularly noticeable in built-up and urban areas. The constant use of land and development means that insect habitats, which are essential to a functioning ecosystem, are being lost. But this development is not only problematic for insects: increased sealing also increases the potential risk of the heat island effect, which poses a threat to human health. &#13;
One possible solution for providing habitat and food for insects in urban areas could be green façade systems. These could partially restore ecosystem services lost to development and have a positive effect on ambient temperature through shading of the building and evaporation from the plants. &#13;
In order to measure this effect of façade greening on the environment, in particular on insect diversity and insect population, this work measured the number of insects using two different counting methods over several days on two external façades, one with façade greening and one without. In addition, to determine the effect of the green façade on the ambient temperature, the temperature was measured at different parts of the façades at both measurement locations. &#13;
The result of the work is that the façade with plants has a significantly higher insect biodiversity and insect density than the façade without plants. Temperatures are cooler, in most cases, on a green façade. However, they are not particularly significant and show large fluctuations. The paper also outlines a possible way of analysing demand and developing a possible sales concept.</abstract>
