Abstract
Green areas provide always the important environmental and human health benefits which cover a large area of advantage and benefits that can, e.g., ameliorate the urban island effect especially in hot climates and relieve the damage on the ecology of the city: principally concerning microclimate, rainwater retention and filtering of airborne pollutant lowering energy expenditures, purifying the air, reducing storm water runoff, longer durability of the roof skin, due to lower surface temperatures and better protection against UV radiation, creation of recreation areas in parts of the city, esthetical improvements in denaturalized urban centers and many others. Green areas have significant acoustical benefits as well. It has a higher weight consequence in an amplified sound insulation of the buildings system. Green areas insulate buildings by preventing heat from moving throughout the climatic skin areas.
