Abstract - Using vertical greenery systems to reduce heat transmission is becoming more common in modern architecture. Vertical greenery systems are divided into two main categories; green facades and living walls. This study aims to examine the thermal performance of vertical greenery systems in hot and humid climates. An experimental procedure was used to measure indoor temperature and humidity. These parameters were also measured for the gap between the vertical greenery systems and wall surfaces. Three boxes were used as small-scale rooms. Two boxes were provided with either a living wall or a green facade and one box did not have any greenery (benchmark). Blue Trumpet Vine was used in the vertical greenery systems. The data were recorded over the course of three sunny days in April 2013. An analyses of the results showed that the living wall and green facade reduced indoor temperature up to 4.0 °C and 3.0 °C, respectively. The living wall and green facade also reduced cavity temperatures by 8.0 °C and 6.5 °C, respectively.

This study has focused on post occupancy evaluation of green facade for elementary school classroom in Taiwan to appreciate the actual situations and usage problems for green facades. This study has chosen three schools for case study. Based on field measurement, and user interview and user questionnaire, they are being used to clarify the environment improvement contributed by green facade establishment and its effectiveness of environment education of each case. This study also found usage and maintenance and management problems derived from green facade installed. Results show that the effectiveness of green facades on the classroom indoor environment improvement is partial significant, on the environment education is not as good as anticipated and on the maintenance and management have many problems and some unexpected negative effects. According to the above results, this study proposes relative planning and designing suggestions as a reference for schools that are willing to have green facades establishment in the future.

In the challenge of development in dense urban areas and environmental preservation, sustainability is a significant requirement where green facade (vertical greening) is one of those approaches that flourished during the last decade although it is not a new concept. Hanging or vertical garden, vertical vegetable farms, balcony garden, container or planter box greening, green or eco building, green roof or rooftop garden, wall planter, and green envelop are all different aspects of this idea that demonstrate how wide this landscape can be. Greening the building envelope with vegetation can be used as a mean to restore the environmental conditions in dense urban areas. Designers can look for enhanced solutions where the façades are more than tinted glass barrier. Several researches have proven the environmental benefits of green facade on both new and existing buildings. They can be applied for mitigating the effect of urban heat island, increasing biodiversity and ecological value, insulating against environmental impact, outdoor and indoor comfort, social and psychological wellbeing and enhancement of air quality for city dwellers. This article discusses different systems of the green facade as a method of sustainable development.

This paper shows the results of a project that investigated the humidity of the air in the ventilation gap of a green façade system. The systems which were investigated are made of aluminium troughs, aluminium modules, or fleece. These systems are mounted on metal rails. The metal rails connect the façade with the plants. This creates a curtain façade that is ventilated by air. The humidity of the air in the gap was investigated, and this paper shows the results of the investigation.

Com a busca de alternativas para melhorar o conforto ambiental em ambientes construídos, os sistemas de fachadas e tetos verdes aparecem como uma opção para melhoria, em especial, do conforto térmico. Utilizando-se de um episódio climático representativo no mês de junho de 2016, analisou-se comparativamente o comportamento térmico de uma célula de teste com fachada e teto verde e uma célula de controle para avaliação do desempenho térmico em dia crítico experimental de frio. O experimento foi realizado no Centro de Recursos Hídricos e Estudos Ambientais (CRHEA) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), em Itirapina-SP. Os resultados indicaram que a célula de teste com fachada e teto verde possui um melhor desempenho térmico em comparação à célula de controle. Palavras-chave: desempenho térmico, episódio climático representativo, comportamento térmico, fachada verde, cobertura verde. Abstract In searching for better thermal behavior alternatives in building environments green facade systems and green roofs emerge as an improvement option, particularly in thermal comfort. Using a representative climate episode to analyze the month of June of 2016 we studied the thermal performance of a green façade and green roof test cell and a control test cell in experimental critical cold day. The experiment was made in Water Resource and Environmental Studies Center (CRHEA) of University of São Paulo (USP), in Itirapina-SP. The results indicated the green wall and green roof test cell have a better thermal performance than control test cell. Keywords: Thermal performance, climatic representative episode, thermal behavior, green façade, green cover.
