Industry publication Greenroofs.com, LLC. recently highlighted new research exploring the physiological and psychological impacts of green walls and roofs — and the findings are compelling.

The study used Fitbits and EEG sensors to measure participants’ heart rate, brain activity, emotional response and thermal comfort when exposed to green infrastructure.

Researchers found that exposure to green walls and roofs contributed to:

• Reduced heart rate associated with relaxation
• Improved mood and emotional wellbeing
• Brain activity linked to attention and calmness
• Reduced perceived heat stress

One of the most interesting findings?
Simply looking at greenery triggered positive psychological responses.

While live greenery delivered the strongest physiological benefits — including cooling and heart-rate reduction — even visual exposure alone showed measurable mental wellbeing benefits.

For workplaces, schools, hospitals and dense urban environments, it highlights the growing role green infrastructure can play in creating healthier, more human-centred built environments.

At Fytogreen, we see green walls as more than aesthetic features — they’re part of creating spaces people genuinely feel better in.
