UZH as a real-world laboratory

Green4Clim uses the UZH Irchel campus as a real-world laboratory to investigate how vegetation composition and distribution may mitigate carbon impacts of campus activities. 

Irchel

The project focuses on direct and indirect effects of vegetation management on CO2 sequestration through photosynthesis (direct) and on the energy consumption of buildings through shading and cooling effects (indirect). During the project duration of one year we will measure gas exchange in selected areas of campus and design a management strategy for carbon mitigation on campus.
