Full textAbstract:
A vertical greening system is becoming increasingly crucial in resolving the energy crisis and environmental problems in a sustainable ecosystem. Researchers have conducted a comprehensive study on vertical greening systems from technology, functional and architectural perspectives. These include ecological, economic and social functions. Most of the current studies emphasize the benefits of vertical greening systems to the environment, while vertical greening technology and its socio-economic benefits receive insufficient attention. In order to study the vertical greening field in depth, this paper comprehensively and systematically summarizes vertical greening technology and functions. Meanwhile, based on the Web of Science (WOS), CiteSpace was used to analyze the relevant literature in the vertical greening field from 2012 to 2022, to explore the hot spots, development status and future trends of vertical greening technology, and to build a knowledge map in the vertical greening field. The research shows that as a low impact development technology, the vertical greening system has received the most extensive attention in the past few years. Air quality, microclimate regulation and energy have always been the focus and hot issues of people’s attention. The future research directions are cooling effect, active system and indoor space. This study is aimed at promoting the future development of vertical greening system technology and providing reference and direction for researchers, planners and developers, as well as individuals interested in future urban and rural planning.

To overcome the excessive heat in tropical climate countries during the day, the types of skin or façade play a vital role in regulating the temperature and the amount of heat transmission in a building. This research was carried out to evaluate the percentage of temperature reduction of two building samples, one with “vertical greening” and one without. The result proved that the temperature reduction of the building with the green façade system is higher than the building without the green façade system. Therefore, it justifies that Vertical Greening Wall does act as an acceptable passive approach for sustainable design.2398-4279 © 2016. The Authors.

Full textAbstract:
The benefits of greening systems on buildings have been frequently examined using experimental methods. However, few studies have adopted dynamic monitoring of real operational buildings to quantify the effects of greening systems on multiple building green performance indexes, such as thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and energy consumption. In this study, a type of multi-in-one indoor environmental quality monitoring device was adopted for vertical greening systems in a green-certified building in Changzhou, China, with real-time data collection through an Internet of Things platform. Measurements of the indoor thermal environment and air quality were recorded from four testing points during a 90 day period from spring to summer in 2021. For comparison, the testing points were divided into group A (office zone) and group B (exhibition zone). Our results demonstrated that, in the presence of a vertical greening system, the seasonal average indoor temperatures decreased by up to 0.7 °C. The green facade outperformed the ordinary exterior wall, optimising both indoor thermal comfort and thermal inertia. Furthermore, judicious indoor greening designs significantly reduced the indoor air-pollutant concentrations, such as particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and organic pollutants. The median values for particulate matter 10 and formaldehyde concentration decreased by 20.7% and 33.3%, respectively, thus improving the indoor air quality. Lastly, the annual electricity consumption of the building with vertical greening systems was about 25% lower than that of similar buildings, underlining the potential contribution of vertical greening systems to building energy conservation. Such findings collectively demonstrate that greening systems offer quantifiable benefits for building parameters such as thermal properties, indoor air quality, and energy conservation.

The article presents the advantages of vertical greenery to create urban development and improve the ecological condition of urban areas. The possibility of using spicy-aromatic crops in vertical greenery, which is an effective way of urban farming. The classification of vertical landscaping by types of plant placement is given and it is determined that modular phytowalls are the most suitable type of vertical plant placement according to the morphological features of spicy-aromatic plants. It is noted that additional research is needed on the possibility of growing perennial aromatic plants in light and relatively inexpensive hydroponic panels — Vertical garden system technology, developed by French designer Patrick Blanc. The technology of creation and functioning of spicy-aromatic phytowalls with the help of container and modular systems of vertical landscaping such as Cascade Wall and Pixel Garden PG14 is described. Attention is focused on the importance of the correct selection of the species composition of aromatic plants to create vertical compositions. The morphological and ecological features of the most common spicy-aromatic plants of the Lamiaceae family are characterized, which are the key parameters that determine the suitability of the described plants for use in vertical greenery. To create phytowalls outside and indoors, it is recommended to use rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), plants of the genus Thymus, Salvia, Mentha, as well as Cymbopogon citratus family Poaceae, Levisticum officinale Koch family Apiaceae and others. Attention is paid to mineral nutrition and protection of spicy-aromatic plants in closed soil conditions. Improvement of vertical landscaping systems and simultaneous search for adaptation of spicy-aromatic plants to the conditions of modular cultivation are relevant research topics for the further spread of this type of landscaping in temperate climates.

Due to the increasing shortage of space in urban areas, vertical greening systems (VGSs) are becoming increasingly popular as a means to provide increased urban greening using building façades. VGSs are usually installed and managed by experts due to technical complexity, however the role of local communities is becoming increasingly important through Do-It-Yourself (DIY) practices. This study aims to explore low-cost VGSs and provide design suggestions and maintenance indications to encourage the expanded use of in situ small-scale VGSs. Firstly, an exploratory review of VGS designs proposed in the scientific literature, and by commercial and community-based solutions was conducted taking DIY potential into account to define eight basic design models categorized through six structural criteria. Then, seven community garden groups were interviewed to inform a critical comparison of the eight design models. Data collected was synthesized to develop a star rating system, thus providing a quick comparative tool. The star rating system shows the performance of five relevant DIY design parameters for each VGS model. The current research may assist in the accessibility of green technologies and facilitate community-scale implementation of DIY vertical greening.

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) caused by building densification greatly impacts the sustainability of urban residents and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize the envelope space of buildings for green retrofitting so that they can contribute to mitigating the UHI effect. In particular, green retrofitting of existing and historic buildings has become an effective means to improve the resilience of cities in the modernization process. In this study, Vertical Greenery Systems (VGS) were proposed for traditional commercial and residential buildings in Guangzhou, China. Digital Twin (DT) technology was applied to simulate the VGS construction method and irrigation to visualize the process of VGS construction for old commercial and residential buildings. In addition, the building heat and cooling consumption of the three-dimensional greening of the storage room on the ground floor of the arcade-housing and the living room on the top floor were analyzed according to the thermal parameters of different vertical greening types and different material facades. Finally, the modification of the west and south walls as a greening system was identified as the best energy-saving solution, and this finding provided reasonable theoretical support for the energy-saving design of the three-dimensional greening building of the arched house on South Street, a historic building with a combination of commercial and residential buildings.

Global urbanization is advancing, and with it, the densification of cities. Due to increased sealing of open spaces and the re-densification of existing urban settings, green spaces in the city are becoming scarcer. At the same time, greening within the urban fabric is known for its positive effects on the environment and decisively counteracts the urban heat effect. This study deals with the benefits of green façades for the environment as a cooling measure. Two façade greening systems, one trough and one cassette system, consisting of curtain wall elements with a basic metal structure, installed at a south-facing outdoor wall of a school building in Vienna, Austria, were taken under metrological examination. In order to evaluate the cooling effect caused by evapotranspiration, the amount of water evaporated was calculated using the difference of inflow and outflow. Furthermore, the surface temperatures of the greened and non-greened walls were measured to display the influence of the interaction of shading and evapotranspiration on the surrounding microclimate. The investigated vertical greening system with an area of 58 m2 has an average evaporation capacity of 101.38 L per day in the summer. The maximum surface temperature difference was measured to be 11.6 °C.

Same as many urban cites, Hong Kong is a densely populated area. To improve the residential environment, increase greenery coverage is a viable and economical solution. Despite the widespread interest in the application of vertical greenery, little application has been observed in residential developments in Hong Kong. Most research in vertical greenery focuses on the benefits and technical issues of the system. This study aims to identify the effective strategies to foster vertical greenery implementation in Hong Kong. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 60 architectural practices. Survey results indicate that the industry agrees on the benefits of vertical greening. While the high initial and maintenance cost was identified as a major obstacle to green wall implementation, several public policies were suggested to promote vertical greenery, including financial support from the government for the installation, provision of gross floor area concession, mandatory green wall installation in new buildings and funding support in related researches. The study contributes to a relatively sparse body of literature by investigating possible strategies to foster vertical greenery in an urban city. The findings shed light on the underlying problems and provide ideas on the promotion of vertical greening in Hong Kong and other urban areas.

Urban greening provides a wide range of ecosystem services to address the main challenges of urban areas, e.g., carbon sequestration, evapotranspiration and shade, thermal insulation, and pollution control. This study evaluates the environmental sustainability of a vertical greening system (VGS) built in 2014 in Italy, for which extensive monitoring activities were implemented. The life-cycle assessment methodology was applied to quantify the water–energy–climate nexus of the VGS for 1 m2 of the building’s wall surface. Six different scenarios were modelled according to three different end-of-life scenarios and two different useful lifetime scenarios (10 and 25 years). The environmental impact of global-warming potential and generated energy consumption during the use phase in the VGS scenarios were reduced by 56% in relation to the baseline scenario (wall without VGS), and showed improved environmental performance throughout the complete life cycle. However, the water-scarcity index (WSI) of the VGS scenarios increased by 42%. This study confirms that the installation of VGSs offers a relevant environmental benefit in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions and energy consumption; however, increased water consumption in the use phase may limit the large-scale application of VGSs.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines mobile systems urban greening as a factor of sustainable development, because in modern cities urbanized structures absorb landscaping. Cities are growing and developing very fast, and green areas are becoming less and less. In response to high-rise compacted buildings, the search for other forms of returning natural complexes to the city structure is required. The growth of urban population and the density of urban development attaches special importance to the problem of creating zones of ecological comfort. The development of the city leads to a reduction in clean air, water, green space and silence, which is so lacking in modern man with his fast pace of life in cities. Nowadays, the problem of landscaping of urban areas can be solved without demolition of buildings, by creating environmentally friendly areas with the help of mobile landscaping systems. Mobile systems urban greening is city landscaping that is implemented through structural elements that can be implemented, moved, and if necessary, removed from the city fabric. The article analyzes the world experience of creating a vertical park with the help of mobile greening systems. The vertical park was developed in New York by the architectural firm «EFGH Architectural Design Studio». The park is developed in a small area and its effective use is created by upward development, instead of planar. This design not only allows you to plant greenery in highly urbanized areas of the city and improve the environment, but it can also attract tourists. The article emphasizes that the sustainable development of the city of Odessa requires a single landscape and ecological framework, which would be connected into a single system of urban green spaces. With the growth of the city of Odessa, increasing the number of stories, building density, construction of public services, especially in the central part of the city, the question of maintaining the continuity and uniformity of green spaces in the city. To create such an environmentally sustainable green framework of the city, it is advisable to use mobile systems urban greening.

Dense settlements in urban areas are one of the problems in DKI Jakarta. RT.03 / RW.01 Kel. Petukangan Utara, Kec. Pesanggrahan Jakarta Selatan is one of the densest settlements in DKI Jakarta which is located side by side with Universitas Budi Luhur. Based on SNI 03-1733-2004, the level of population density in the region is included in the category of High Density. This can be seen from the houses lined up along the road with little provision of Green Open Space. The community develops the need for building area by maximizing the area of land for building. This impacts the lack of air circulation in accordance with SNI-14-1993-03 about the thermal comfort area of buildings which are conditioned for Indonesians, as well as the lack of lighting in accordance with SNI 03-6575-2001 regarding illumination standards for the light of a room.With thermal comfort and illumination that is not in according to standards in the region, a Community Service activity was held by the Faculty of Engineering of the Universitas Budi Luhur to add community knowledge about how to make thermal comfort and illumination in homes using energy efficient. Thermal comfort can be fulfilled by making vertical greening on limited land, While the comfort of illumination can be fulfilled by using LED lights. The activity uses community empowerment methods, so that the community can independently make vertical greening in their respective homes and know the benefits for thermal comfort and can use LED lights in their respective homes and know the benefits to save electricity. The results of the Community Empowerment Towards Energy Saving Settlements at RT.03 / RW.01 Kel Petukangan Utara Kec. Pesanggrahan Jakarta Selatan, is that the region has vertical greening as a natural air conditioning system and uses an LED lighting system as an energy efficient lighting.

Roof greening is a promising solution for improving urban thermal environment and water quality. This paper studies the performance of a green roof with and without a self-management system, including the irrigation and shadowing subsystems, during a 3-month period via extensive experiments. Sedum plants are planted using two growing media. The first media consists of perlite and peat soil and the second media consists of average soil. Plant growth indices include vertical and horizontal growth rate as well as survival rate. Results show that a 100% survival rate can be achieved via intensive irrigation and shadowing. Meanwhile, an 8°C temperature decrease was observed during the hot season. The most suitable substrate depth is 9cm in terms of thermal effect and survival rate.

Full textAbstract:
In urban harbors there is a reliance on the “gray infrastructure” of armored bulkheads along shorelines. While this form of shoreline technology provides stability and eliminates erosion, it limits shoreline biodiversity and lacks aesthetic value. In this paper, a living shoreline concept, termed the Green Bulkhead, is described and demonstrated. This is a kind of artificial vertical wetland with plants grown in a porous plastic fabric that is draped over the surface of an existing bulkhead. The system is irrigated with water that is pumped from the harbor. Several alternate designs have been tested for different medium types, planting patterns and water pumping regimes. It is proposed that the green bulkhead system can provide limited treatment wetland services in an urban setting where cost-effective water quality management options are minimal. Testing found that high percentages of sediment were retained within the matrix of the different media. The system has aesthetic benefits by “greening” the harbor environment with wetland plants and, because of its vertical orientation, it can be managed adaptively for sea level rise. This work is a report of an on-going ecological engineering project with demonstrations along the Baltimore, Maryland Inner Harbor and the Anacostia Waterfront in Washington, DC.

In the 21st century, sustainable development is high on the international agenda, with the implementation of green walls contributing significantly to achieving environmental and social benefits, mainly in the frame of sustainable improvement of the building sector. The installation of a greening system can provide engineered solutions for stormwater management and climate change mitigation at both the urban and building level. This facilitates improving indoor comfort conditions and reducing energy needs. In order to improve the features of products and to facilitate the implementation of a proper technical standard, this paper proposes a critical bibliographic analysis of more recent scientific works. Moreover, by means of a numerical model of an existing single-family apartment, placed in the Mediterranean climate zone, a building envelope refurbishment with a living wall is carried out. A parametric analysis provides evidence for the application of different plants’ types and insulation materials. The results are analyzed considering the energy needs, the thermo-hygrometric comfort, and the outdoor surface temperature variation of the building envelope, emphasizing that a multi-criteria design approach is needed for green vertical systems. The paper provides data and an approach useful for designers and researchers in the evaluation and optimization of the performance of greening systems.

On the basis of the research data of 120 enterprises from 10 development zones in Gansu Province, we conducted regional planning research combining enterprise architecture with ecological green space environment system. We determined that the largest part of the green space pattern is the “other green space,” which mainly depends on the formation of super large plantation. However, this part is consistently decreasing in recent years. Affiliated green space became the largest in the green space patterns because of the high degree of vertical greening of the enterprise architecture in the development zones. The high fragmentation of the affiliated green space also leads to the high fragmentation of the entire green space of the development zone. In future regional planning of development zones, future planning of the green space can take the current green space as the basis, use the road green space and green corridors nearby waters as the basic framework to connect other patterns of green space, and form a ring-shaped enclosure, reticular structure, and wedge-shaped and dotted supplemented regional pattern. Meanwhile, the road green space system can be reasonably arranged by setting new green space spots at road intersections and key strategic positions to connect the isolated green space patches and improve the connectivity of the green space.

Vertical Greenery System (VGS) is one of the passive solutions for urban greening that emphasizes application of building envelope. It can improve both indoor thermal performance and energy efficiency in the longer run. To realize this effort, proper orientations are identified as the main key factors. As high-rise buildings are being develop throughout urban cities in Malaysia, indoor spaces received high amount of solar radiation due to improper orientation and site constraint exposure that mainly comes from East and West. To overcome this issues, orientation study and vertical percentage analysis were conducted in this paper. Investigation on the importance of having proper façade orientation and greenery percentage in urban cities are the main purpose of this research. Several methods that involved empirical studies and simulation using IESVE software were conducted to fulfil this investigation. Based on the findings, the highest reduction in both temperature and cooling load energy using vertical greenery system can be tabulated in the following order: East > West > South > North. It is suggested, that both the East and West orientations to be the best façades to implement the VGS. Both facades received direct sunlight in the morning and evening sessions, enabling the VGS envelope to reduce the indoor dry bulb temperature and building cooling load energy more efficiently at higher altitude. For vertical greenery percentage analysis, higher percentage of vegetation will result in a more positive effect towards the reduction of indoor dry bulb temperature. In conclusion, the incorporation of a 100% VGS window wall ratio coverage is shown to have a reduction of 1.42°C and it was estimated at least 16.9% for building cooling load energy saving.

The city's thermal environment plays an important role in achieving comfort and quality of life, especially during the current global pandemic. Meanwhile, reduction in the green areas has been observed to be continuously causing climate change in cities and one of the proposed solutions to this is by developing a greening system for buildings. This paper, therefore, assessed the ability of vertical garden to decrease air and surface temperatures as well as CO2 levels. The research involved field measurements of these parameters both inside and outside the building along with the modification of the vertical garden distance at 0.5 m and 1 m as well as the plant type including red spinach or amaranthus hybridus, mustard or brassica juncea, celery or apium graveolens linn, and cat's whiskers or orthosiphon spicatus. The results showed an average decrease of 0.75°C in air temperature, 16.4ºC in surface temperature, and 58.8 ppm in CO2 levels. Moreover, a maximum reduction of 6ºC was achieved in air temperature with red spinach plants at 0.5 m, 26.3ºC in surface temperature by the Rred spinach plant, and 124 ppm in CO2 levels by celery plants. In conclusion, a closer distance and darker color of the leaves as well as the red spinach species were found to be the main consideration in the application of vertical gardens in urban homes due to their ability to reduce the temperature on the limited land.

Full textAbstract:
In Taiwan, the daytime temperature usually exceeds 37 °C in summer, and the increase in air-conditioning usage has led to higher energy demand, which brings a heavy burden to power plants. The Kaohsiung House Project, undertaken by the city government, encourages the installation of greening facilities in buildings, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels on rooftops and vertical gardens on balconies, in order to preserve energy and reduce carbon emissions. In the present study, the urban heat island effect and temperature distribution within the city was examined through the establishment of 16 temperature measurement sites within a 7.5 km × 6 km area. A between-site temperature difference of 2 °C was observed between April and August. Areas with higher temperature are recommended to increase their green space ratio through the project. Moreover, relocating PV panels in low-temperature areas increased the overall generation efficiency by 0.8%. Through the analysis of the measured data, this study determined which areas were more appropriate for green space expansion, and which would best serve for green energy generation, all with the aim of improving external environmental comfort and maximizing carbon reduction. Recommendations regarding the implementation of subsequent policies were issued and they provide reference for implementation in other cities.

Full textAbstract:
Due to global concerns about energy issues, global warming, and urban quality, vertical greening systems (VGS) are receiving more attention in construction and design research. Therefore, VGS has become part of building envelope design as a passive technique for saving energy in building sectors. The current study aimed to investigate shading and energy performances of VGS in buildings in hot climate regions and to optimize VGS design as a building design element. The study was conducted through simulation and field experiments in a student housing building at a university campus (Irbid, Jordan). Field measurements were taken to assess the thermal effect of the green wall and daylight performance as well as the efficiency of the typical green wall design configuration. Furthermore, a methodology for accurately representing green walls was established and used. Both simulation and experimentation demonstrated that the thickness of the air cavity and the percentage of foliage coverage can have a substantial impact on the performance of the green wall system. Results showed that green wall systems are effective natural sunscreens and shading systems. A green wall helped to reduce the exterior wall surface temperatures by a range of 6 to 11 °C compared to the base case of the wall without a VGS on different days. In addition, it decreased the interior surface temperature of the investigated southern façade by an average of 5 °C compared to the base case. Green wall design configurations for hot climate regions, such as Jordan, will help designers to use the VGS as a design element. Our findings indicate that GW could help to improve the thermal and daylight environment and thus the results could be taken as indicative for GW wall design in other areas or buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Living walls are important vertical greening systems with modular prevegetated structures. Studies have suggested that living walls have many social benefits as an ecological engineering technique with notable potential for reconciliation ecology. Despite these benefits, there are currently no mature workflows or technologies for monitoring the health status and water stress of living wall systems. To partially fill the current knowledge gap related to water stress, we acquired thermal, multispectral, and hyperspectral remote sensing data from an indoor living wall in the Cloud Forest of the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. The surface temperature (Ts) and a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were obtained from these data to construct a Ts-NDVI space for applying the “triangle method”. A simple and effective algorithm was proposed to determine the dry and wet edges, the key components of the said method. The pixels associated with the dry and wet edges were then selected and highlighted to directly display the areas under water-stress conditions. Our results suggest that the proposed algorithm can provide a reasonable overview of the water-stress information of the living wall; therefore, our method can be simple and effective to monitor the health status of a living wall. Furthermore, our work confirms that the triangle method can be transferred from the outdoors to an indoor environment.

The European Construction Sector Observatory outlined that green building envelopes as green roofs and walls contribute to the reduction of energy demand and CO2 emissions due to the air conditioning in summer periods, and the mitigation of heat islands in urban areas. For this reason, the understanding about the contribution of urban greening infrastructures on buildings to sustainable energy use for air conditioning is urgent. This paper focuses on the analysis of a vertical surface provided with a Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch., a winter deciduous species, as green cover of a building, assessing the reduction of the solar radiation energy absorbed by the façade and, consequently, the heat flux (HF) transmitted into the internal ambient. This research shows that, in July, surface temperatures (STs) on the vegetated façade were up to 13 °C lower than on the unvegetated (bare) façade. Under the climate and environmental conditions of the green wall located at ENEA Casaccia Research Center, a saving of 2.22 and 1.94 kWhe/m2, respectively in 2019 and 2020, for the summer cooling electricity load, was achieved. These energy reductions also allowed the saving of 985 and 862 g CO2/m2 emissions, respectively, in 2019 and 2020. Ultimately, a green factor named Kv* was also elaborated to evaluate the influence of vegetation on the STs as well as on HFs transmitted into the indoor ambient and adapted to the case of a detached vertical green cover. Measurements of Kv* factor lasting three years showed the suitability of this index for defining the shading capacity of the vegetation on the building façade surfaces, which can be used to predict thermal gains and effects in a building endowed of a vertical green system.

In this article, we have considered the problems caused by lack of green frame also addressed the problems associated with the violation of its functional value. Based on the review of global practice vertical gardening is also determined by issues of landscaping within the existing urban area. The problems identified that lead to the destruction of the ecological framework of the city, the deformation in the system of planting and irreparable environmental impacts. In our time the problem of urban landscaping can be resolved without demolition of buildings by creating pollution-free zones. It is a priority to date. With this purpose, the measures for vertical gardening. Due to the lack of space greening began to transition from horizontal to vertical spaces. And to serve as a filter for waste and polluted waters flowing into the sea, a filter for the noise pollution and to help provide a comfortable environment for human life. Consider taking vertical gardening, its advantages and features, the article shows that a huge role in gardening is vertical gardening using various vertical techniques and the establishment of greenhouses on the roof. The vector for solving this problem is outlined on the example of Singapore, its experience is studied, ways to improve the quality of urban public spaces are analyzed, which has a positive effect on improving the ecological situation in the metropolis. Over the last 30 years Singapore has made a big leap in its development: from third world country it has become the economic center of Asia with the highest average standard of living of the population. This progress could not fail to affect planning and new construction solutions. The concept of the unfamiliar street chaos in Singapore, there are plenty of open recreational spaces, easy navigation and clear transport network with ecoparking. But most importantly, thanks to the various methods of gardening, Singapore managed to avoid the problem of pollution in the city.

Urban green infrastructures offer thermal regulation to mitigate urban heat island effects. To gain a better understanding of the cooling ability of transpiring plants at the leaf level, we developed a method to measure the time series of thermal data with a miniaturized, uncalibrated thermal infrared camera. We examined the canopy temperature of four characteristic living wall plants (Heuchera x cultorum, Bergenia cordifolia, Geranium sanguineum, and Brunnera macrophylla) under increasing drought stress and compared them with a well-watered control group. The method proved suitable to evaluate differences in canopy temperature between the different treatments. Leaf temperatures of water-stressed plants were 6 to 8 °C higher than those well-watered, with differences among species. In order to cool through transpiration, vegetation in green infrastructures must be sufficiently supplied with water. Thermal cameras were found to be useful to monitor vertical greening because leaf surface temperature is closely related to drought stress. The usage of thermal cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles could be a rapid and easy monitoring system to cover large façades.

Root systems, as the reinforced materials, are essential to increase slope stability and mitigate soil erosion. Polygonaceae family weeds are widespread in slope collapse watershed for its rapid growth and hardiness. Some growing around farmlands and ditches affect the farm crop yield. While others growing in slope collapse have medicinal value, revegetation, and root reinforcement effect. The plant height, fresh weight and expansion range of aboveground biomass and roots were measured to research the relationship between the aboveground biomass and the belowground biomass. The relationship between the aboveground biomass fresh weight and root system fresh weight was consistent with linear function. Single root was tested by digital display push-tension meter (SH-100) fixed in vertical electrical machine (SJY-500) to obtain the relationship between tensile force and root diameter. The relationship between tensile force and root diameter conformed to exponential decay function. At last, the relationship between root diameter classes and average tensile force of Polygonaceae family weeds was analyzed. The result showed that the diameters mainly ranged from 0 mm to 2 mm, 87.75% of the total, and the average tensile force increased with the diameter class. At the beginning, the shape of tensile force was a line, then a curved line during pulling, which deformation was nonlinear. It could provide a scientific basis for design of weeder in farmland, and greening, erosion control in slope collapse.

Urbanization addresses urban expansion, and it leads conversion of the green space into the built-up area. However, previous studies mainly focused on two-dimensional (2D) urban expansion rather than three-dimensional (3D) growth. Here, the purpose of this study is to examine the urban expansion, including built-up and green space for both horizontal and vertical dimensions using geospatial analysis including remote sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in the sub-Central Business District (CBD) area of Surabaya, Indonesia. The medium resolution remote sensing data for both image and Digital Surface Model (DSM) acquired by Advanced Land-Observing Satellite (ALOS) were applied for time-1 (2010). The orthophoto and DSM derived by LiDAR were used for time-2 (2016). We quantified the built-up and green expansions in 2D (area), which were extracted from land use/land cover (LU/LC) by applying hybrid classification. The built-up and green expansions in 3D (volume) were estimated by generating a surface feature model. The spatial configuration of area expansion was investigated using patch metric, while the volume growth was examined using the volume expansion rate. We got three findings. (1) The built-up and green area had expanded about 11.54% and 95.61%, respectively, from 2010 to 2016. The expansion of green area presented in a notable portion, which was mainly contributed by the conversion of bareland to playground or park. However, the expansion of built-up area was less than the volume expansion of 20.6%. It revealed that built-up growth led to vertical rather than horizontal development. (2) The built-up area expansion tended to scatter configuration, whereas, the green area expansion tended to aggregate in a linear pattern. (3) The ratio of built-up volume expansion to green volume expansion showed a mean of 3.7, indicating that the development of built-up and green volume was imbalanced. The built-up growth presented higher than the green growth, mainly in the areas with more vertical building establishment. The pressing need for higher green volume in the study area was identified in several sites located at surrounding artery and toll roads. Overall, our approach can be applied as a reference in monitoring neighborhood environment through greening programs for sustainable urban development.

Abstract This research is part of a project that aims to create a simulation workflow to design adaptive facades to not only reduce the energy demand of buildings and provide a good level of indoor comfort. but also to mitigate the urban heat island effect. The anthropogenic climate change results in a steady increase of hot days. tropical nights and heavy rainfall. affecting the quality of human comfort. especially in urban areas not only in hot regions of the world but also in Central Europe. Vertical greening systems are often a first-choice mitigation strategy to improve the deteriorating situation. By combining the use of natural resources like rainwater and solar radiation. the greening evaporates water and provides natural cooling. This paper deals with the efficiency and feasibility of vertical greening systems towards a relief in heat stress by simulating different constructions under local circumstances of three climate zones. focusing on the night-time. To carry out the simulations with microclimate simulation tool ENVI-met. an urban apartment complex was designed and provided with different kinds of vertical greening to investigate the various positive effects resulting from the green façade. As a shading device. the greened walls showed a significant decrease of wall surface temperatures of up to 18K. However. restricted transpiration fluxes obstruct exploiting the full potential of evaporative cooling. especially during night-time.

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.

Vertical greening systems (VGSs), i.e., living walls (LWs) and green façades (GFs), are considered a promising technology to diminish the negative effects of urbanisation. Plant selection for these systems is challenging due to the narrow spectrum of species available, and the required adaptation to specific climate conditions. Considering Chile’s rich plant biodiversity, this study aims to analyse the potential of Chilean native species to be introduced in VGSs. A total of 109 potentially usable species from the north (n = 25), centre (n = 32), south (n = 31) and the Andes Mountains (n = 21) were selected for VGSs, showing a high level of endemism (43.1%). According to the filters applied, 39 and 70 species were selected for GFs and LWs, respectively. To evaluate appreciation of Chilean native plants and their potential use in VGSs, an online questionnaire was responded by 428 individuals. Most participants agreed or strongly agreed with the use of LWs and/or GFs inside their house/apartment (75.5%) and in their garden/balcony (90.0%). Most of the participants agreed or strongly agreed with the use of Chilean native plants inside their house/apartment (75.0%) and in their garden/balcony (84.4%). Further empirical studies are still required to confirm the use of Chilean native species in LWs and GFs.

An analysis of the most effective initiatives within the concept of «smart» city, related to the development of «green» buildings with special emphasis on the concept of vertical landscaping. The detailed characteristic of positive effects from the installation of designs of a «green» cloth is given. Among the above advantages of implementing these technologies, reducing pollutant emissions, which are the greenhouse effect’s driving forces, and energy savings are the most significant. Based on the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of the concept of vertical landscaping, proposals for the development or improvement of strategies for sustainable development of urban areas with an emphasis on «green» and «smart» technologies.

In this research we provide the analysis of the modern green wall technologies. The modular greening technology for the buildings is universal invention with respect to the purpose of the building and it is applicable for greening buildings intended for any spheres of «going into nature» aims. The complexity of installation work of this modular constructive greening system is quite low, which is one of the main advantages of the invention. Due to the fact that the system can be installed both vertically and horizontally, a single coating system of modules is formed. These modules can optimally fill the facades of the building due to the fact that their dimensions can vary. The constructive weight of the system is not large; for this, the technological process is optimized. This system is the most environmentally and technically efficient for the green buildings.

“Green architecture” gains more and more popularity worldwide. In many ways, this relates to the need for improving environmental quality of urban area. Often, enviromentalization is used for creating green spaces on buildings, including vertical or with significant inclination. This article is dedicated to studying the questions of the structure of greening of vertical surfaces of the buildings (green facades) for medium and high-rise buildings. The research is aimed at determination of technical characteristics of designing green facades. The subject of this article is building structures of various designation (architectural, load-bearing and enclosing) that serve for the formation of greening. The author examines their potential in the formation of objects of "green architecture". The key research method is the analysis of normative and scientific framework for the design of vertical greening. The existing experience in designing green facades is explored. The scientific novelty of this work consists in systematization of the applied design concepts and engineering solutions. As a result of the study, the two types of structures are determined: supporting and maintaining. The author reviews structural systems characteristic to each type, outlines the assortment of greenery, engineering and technical solutions for maintaining plants, as well as forming capacities of the types of design solutions of green facades.
