520			_aConsiders whether using vegetation (external landscaping and gardens, green walls and roofs, and internal planting) in commercial buildings can lead to specific environmental sustainability benefits. Looks at how using vegetation in buildings can impact on energy efficiency, the internal environment, water management, microclimate and biodiversity and summarises the building design and cost implications of greening a commercial property. Concludes that in isolation greening is not necessarily environmentally positive, but it does provide subjective benefits such as worker satisfaction and opportunities for improving urban biodiversity.
