The building envelope plays a crucial role in saving or consuming energy, depending on the type of the envelope and design. Architects and engineers need to consider many issues when working with envelope designs, including environmental... more
This research paper focuses on the period of time where cities need to function crucially to increase its flourishing green spaces. It is a progressive comprehension that the growing cities with synchronic barriers need a strong touch of... more
Current systems for greening the buildings envelope are not just surfaces covered with vegetation. Greening systems, as green roofs and green walls, are frequently used as an aesthetical feature in buildings. However, the current... more
Urban development can have a profound impact on the health and well-being of people, sustainability of cities, increasing energy consumption because of increasing urban heat island (UHI), and CO2 which is one of the environmental and... more

By increasing in population and urbanization, a huge substantial pressure is imposed on resources and the environment. Urban developers, architects and engineers search for areas to plant vegetation. In dense cities, green facades and... more
This paper addresses the effect of building orientation efficiency of the green facade in energy consumption, for which the case study is an urban block in Passeig de Gracia, L’Eixample, Barcelona. Nowadays, many countries are faced with... more

Together with the rapid industrialization of the world, urbanization is also uncontrollably increasing. Such an increase in urbanization exerts the greatest pressure on natural resources, obligating people to live in intense structural... more
Green façades are becoming an important architectural element in an urban environment. Regarding the technology of the installation of green façades, one can distinguish between direct and indirect green façades, living walls and double... more

A mathematical model of an exterior wall covered with climbing vegetation has been developed to evaluate the thermal effects of plants on heat transfer through building facades. This model allows for analysis of how various plant... more
High-density urban development areas have several problems associated with them, such as the formation of urban heat islands, traffic noise, and air pollution. To minimize these problems, the green façades (GFs), which are used to guide... more
The paper shares the results of a design submitted to a competition launched by the University of Wageningen, focusing on the retrofitting action of one of the existing towers of the former Bijlmerbajes prison complex in Amsterdam. The... more

Vertical gardens have become important strategies for urban heat island migration in recent years. However, the simulation tools for green façade (GF) with climbing plants coupling the shading and wind-induced effects are still lacked.... more
This article presents a comprehensive literature review of Vertical Greenery System (VGS) in tropical areas, its benefits, its carbon sequestration potential and its calculation methodologies, and its potential for urban heat island (UHI)... more
