Kö-Bogen II shows how sustainable architecture can positively change urban spaces and make them more liveable. Its façade is planted with 30,000 hornbeams over a total length of eight kilometres. This makes it the largest green façade in Europe and a power plant for good air. It acts like a natural filter and absorbs pollutants, binds particulate matter and reduces the CO2 content. At the same time, it lowers the ambient temperature. The positive effects are also apparent in the wider surroundings of the building. The plants act like a natural air conditioning system. They create a healthy urban climate in which people feel comfortable. Martin Belz, senior expert for building greening at City Arc and project manager for the Kö-Bogen II façade greening project, explains: "The greening of the building reduces the cooling energy required by up to 30 percent, while the ambient temperature is lowered by around three degrees thanks to the cooling capacity of the plants." Two highly efficient Wilo pressure-boosting systems are used to ensure that the green façade is optimally supplied with water.
Umm Al Hayman in Kuwait is more than just a sewage treatment plant. It is changing and improving the living conditions of 1.7 million people. Every day, the plant cleans 500 million litres of sewage safely and efficiently. This protects health, preserves the environment and enables sustainable water usage. The treated sewage is used for agricultural
irrigation and thus contributes to food security without using precious groundwater or expensively desalinated seawater. At the heart of the system are the high-efficiency pumps from the Wilo-Rexa NORM series, which were specially developed for Umm Al Hayman.
Salmon is a nutritional superhero. It supplies millions of people worldwide with essential nutrients. It is of great economic importance to Chile, which is one of the largest exporters of the fish. The organic fish farm Los Chilcos plays an important role in this. It makes a key contribution to food security and the sustainable development of the maritime food industry. Los Chilcos relies on highly efficient and reliable Wilo pumps for its water supply.
