Energy Savings Related to Green Infrastructure in Valladolid city

Improved green infrastructure results in energy savings through a variety of mechanisms. These include:

• Reducing the need to heat buildings by insulating them against the cold
• Reducing the need to cool buildings by insulating them against the heat
• Reducing the volume of stormwater entering the sewer system, thus reducing energy consumption in sewage processing

The energy savings resulting from these three mechanisms are estimated by GI-Val [https://www.merseyforest.org.uk/gi-val/] tools 1.1, 1.5 and 2.1 respectively.
