CTP installs the largest continuous vertical garden in the Czech Republic: Unique scientific project to show new possibilities for solving heat islands

CTP has completed the installation of the largest continuous vertical garden in the Czech Republic at CTPark Prague North—part of a unique scientific research project being carried out in cooperation with the Czech University of Life Sciences (“CZU”) and Czech vertical garden specialists Němec.

Covering an area of around 1,300 sqm and comprising over 45,000 plants of various species meticulously selected by CZU scientists for research purposes, the facade at CTPark Prague North ranks among the largest of its kind in the world and is focused on reducing the heat load and mitigating heat islands created at industrial sites. Initial results show that the surface temperature of the newly installed green wall at CTPark Prague North can be up to 15°C lower during summer days compared to a conventional facade.

The project is part of scientific research conducted under the EU-funded OP TAK program to support Czech entrepreneurs, which awarded Němec a grant for their innovative vertical garden system. The result is a unique collaboration between the scientific community and two private companies to determine how plants can contribute to improving the microclimate at industrial parks. Němec’s patented Cascade Garden® system is expected to function as natural air conditioning, helping to regulate the temperature both inside and around the building.

The facade is equipped with an irrigation system that minimises water consumption and ensures even irrigation. The scientific team from CZU is monitoring how the different plants cope with extreme conditions such as direct sunlight, drought, wind, and cold. The plants are not protected or treated in any way during the winter, which allows their natural resistance to be tested.

The research project will continue until the end of 2026. The results will be analysed and made available for wider use in the field of architecture and sustainability and serve as a basis for the further use of vertical gardens in industrial parks.
