Partner Event: LIVING AIR CONDITIONING: A CONVERSATION ABOUT LIVING WALLS, VERTICAL FORESTS, MEADOW ROOS AND OTHER PLANT BASED SYSTEMS TO DRAW DOWN CARBON AND BEAT THE HEAT

Climate scientists predict that within 30 years, Philadelphia could spend as many as 74 days a year above 90ºF. In July 2020 alone, the city had 21 days at or above 90 degrees F (Inquirer 7/3/20).

We can all work together to cool our city with biophilic urbanist solutions, using the only truly ‘green’ air conditioning available: trees and plants.  Join us virtually at the Clean Air Council’s Greenfest for a conversation on how we can collectively and individually contribute to making a healthier more livable city.

Our conversation will be moderated by Melanie Murray, LEED Green Associate, and presented by bioPhily team members: Helena van Vliet AIA, Fredda Lippes AIA, LEED AP, Vera Neumann-Sachs AIA, LEED AP, and Sadie Francis, MPA.
