        abstract = {Green architecture contributes not only in reducing the building?s thermal loads but also in reducing the effects of the urban heat island in densely built-up areas in a hardly natural environment. The current green systems are built in situ/on site and are very expensive, hence the need to create industrialized prevegetated systems which improve the buildings? energy savings and reduce the times of construction works. The present paper describes three green systems for fa{\cc}ades (gabion fa{\cc}ade, green sliding panel, green panel in plastic cell) and two prevegetated green tank roof systems (green roof in light concrete and pvc).}
