Increase your urban greening factor in the UK with living walls and green sedum roofs

Urban greening is rapidly becoming a planning priority in UK cities. In response to climate change, rising temperatures, and biodiversity loss, authorities such as the Greater London Authority have introduced the Urban Greening Factor (UGF) to encourage greener developments. For developers, architects, and landscape professionals, this means that integrating green infrastructure is no longer just desirable – it’s required. Mobilane provides ready-to-use systems that directly contribute to higher UGF scores, including the MobiPanel green wall and the MobiRoof ECO green roof system

MobiPanel: A green wall system that scores 0.6

MobiPanel is an external, modular living wall system with pre-cultivated plant cassettes and built-in irrigation. Designed for long-term performance and ease of installation, it enhances both the aesthetic and ecological value of façades. According to the official UGF calculator, modular green walls or climbing plants rooted in soil receive a score of 0.6, making MobiPanel an effective tool for boosting urban greening in vertical spaces.

MobiRoof ECO: Lightweight green roof system with a UGF value of 0.3

MobiRoof ECO is a pre-grown extensive sedum roof system with a substrate depth of 60 mm. This places it in the UGF category for lightweight green roofs, which achieve a UGF score of 0.3. MobiRoof ECO offers key environmental benefits – including rainwater retention, insulation, and increased biodiversity – all within a format that’s easy to install and suitable for a wide range of roof structures.
