WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE IS LED STREET LAMP + VERTICAL GREENING?

         

Street lamp posts on London streets have been transformed into green plant-covered ones to promote biodiversity and purify the air. It is reported that this is an experiment carried out in Ebury Street, Belgravia District, London, which aims at six lamp posts located in the street. The lamp posts are transformed into a series of vegetation pillars called "vertical greening".                       

The device installed on the lamp post is called Smart Pillar, developed by Scot scape Group and Greenwich University. It can be easily installed on existing lamp posts without damaging them, and can recycle water to reduce waste. High water retention fabrics are used to maximize the use of water. In addition, it is equipped with a self-powered irrigation system, powered by solar panels embedded in the design. Grosvenor Estates, a real estate company that manages the region, says that in addition to direct environmental benefits, there is growing evidence that integrating and strengthening greening in the building environment can reduce stress, blood pressure and heart rate, as well as contribute to mental health and happiness. The environmental impacts of lamp posts will be monitored through Grosvenor's London Air Quality Network operated by King's College London and air quality monitors.
