Abstract
Among the strategies capable of addressing the multiple challenges related to achieving the NetZero target, urban greening is not only a strategy to increase the energy efficiency of buildings but also an opportunity to design new scenarios of biophilic living, capable of re-establishing positive connections between people and nature in the built environment. In this context, an area of study of growing interest focuses on the sustainable recovery of domestic greywater for reuse in buildings for irrigation purposes. The paper outlines the results of an interdisciplinary research project, which, through bio-filtration processes, enables the recovery of wastewater from household appliances to supply green architecture solutions.
