Abstract

Current environmental situation in regard to pollution in large cities , the low number of green spaces, the situation of the housing crisis , together with increased development of new green technologies and the emergence of a new movement developed out of Green Roof our borders for years , has led to added interest in sustainable architecture and cities attract more aware about environmental problems . Then there is the design approach while taking into account the consideration of environmental factors in the design of products, processes and services and all stages of the life cycle of the same , commonly called Ecodesign . These two aspects are the starting point for the work presented here , which has carried out an analysis of the state of the art of research and knowledge related to plant covers and facades in buildings , materials, suitable climates , species vegetable , social and environmental benefits , etc., as well as eco-design tools applicable to the reduction of environmental impact in construction, particularly in facades and roofs.
