ARIS CiTYCOOL

ARIS CiTYCOOL is a natural solution to optimising green spaces for climate resilience. It is especially suitable for:

  • Industrial and commercial premises in urban areas
  • Urban green spaces (parks, traffic islands, roadside vegetation, graveyards, urban groves etc.)
  • Grünanlagen an öffentlichen Bauten (Schulen, Krankenhäuser, etc.)
Description

The ARIS CiTYCOOL climate module is an innovative component of “sponge cities”, supporting the adaptation of urban areas to climate change. It generates an evaporative cooling effect that lowers the surrounding temperature and mitigates the urban “heat island” effect.

The module consists of plastic soakaway crates encapsulated in a sealing membrane forming a reservoir that buffers heavy rainfall and supplies rainwater to plants during dry spells. The soil substrate acts as a filtration layer and supports plant health. With 17 flowering plants it brings splashes of natural colour to urban environments and increases biodiversity. An overflow prevents waterlogging, and a geotextile separates the growth substrate from the water reservoir.

ARIS CiTYCOOL is optimised for low maintenance and supports the weight of lawn mowing equipment. It scales up to areas of several thousand square meters and thus universally applicable to parks, traffic islands, and green spaces along public buildings
