Theme B: Creating a livable, healthy and environmentally viable citiesFigure 3:Green Panels have been set up at the roof of the construction site to workout design optimization.The research and trial of vertical green panels at YT and EHC is unique for itsmodular, prefabricated clad-on character purposely designed for long life loose fitand reuse purposes. It is flexible in application, versatile and easily assembled onsite and addresses the need for replacement and future maintenance. The thinprofile addresses spatial constraints both for new construction and retrofit purpose.Apart from the clad-on panels, EHC 4 has adopted self-standing vertical greenpanels to arrive at an integrative green hoarding. Similar to the trial panelsinstalled at the roof of the site office, green hoarding enhances the siteenvironment by providing dust and an element of noise screening. The long life,loose fit concept has been further extended as these large reusable panels aredemountable and could be moved to other areas of the site as permanent greenwalls, or to other construction sites as green hoardings.190
