Green Facade Boosts Comfort and Sales in Kranenburg

Kranenburg’s expanded Einkaufszentrum Weide Park now features a sustainable new building. Equipped with solar power, heat pumps, and a massive green facade of over 20,000 plants, it offers shoppers an environmentally friendly and pleasant experience.

Cleaner air

1 m² of living wall filters fine dust, absorbs 2.3 kg CO₂ and produces 1.7 kg oxygen per year.

Cradle to Cradle certified

SemperGreenwall systems meet the highest standards for quality and sustainability, holding a Bronze-level Cradle to Cradle certification.

Extends facade life span

A living wall shields your facade from sun, rain, wind and temperature changes, extending its lifespan.

The ‘Einkaufszentrum Weide Park’ in Kranenburg, Germany, close to the Dutch border, has been extended with a new building. This building is equipped with solar panels, a heat recovery system and heat pumps. A sustainable addition is the green facade that provides shoppers with a pleasant environment to do their shopping. By installing at least 20,000 plants on the façade, combined with wooden façade panels, this shopping centre has a sustainable appearance.

More green = more turnover

Research* has shown that greenery in and near shops can increase sales by 12 percent. Green has a calming effect on people, resulting in longer stays and different shopping behaviour. In addition, green shopping areas are more often seen as better, safer and cleaner.

More greenery can lower street temperatures a lot in hot periods, improving comfort while shopping. Plants also act as natural air cleaners. They absorb CO2 and convert it back into oxygen. Better air quality both indoors and outdoors makes for a more pleasant shopping environment. Noise dampening is also something a plant wall contributes to. It absorbs ambient noise from cars and other street

Living plants decorate the wall

In spring, the plants will bloom beautifully and add to biodiversity. The vegetation gives birds space to build their nests and bees find their nectar here. Thus, this living facade makes the built environment a lot more connected to nature. There are also aesthetic benefits: the selection of hardy plants ensures that the SemperGreenwall stays green all year round.
