The evaluation of the effectiveness of countermeasures for a reduction of urban heat stress,
such as façade greening, is challenging due to lacking transferability of results from one …

Applying vertical green facades (VGFs) on building envelopes is an effective design strategy
to reduce building energy consumption and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Although …

Thermal regulation is a key ecosystem service provided by direct green façades (DGFs), as
vegetated walls absorb short wave radiation, reduce solar re-radiation from hard surfaces …

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 …

Greenery systems are sustainable ecosystems for buildings. Many studies on greenery
systems, such as green roofs and green walls, have demonstrated that greenery systems …

The pursuit of urban agriculture as part of a city's green infrastructure is often a challenge,
particularly within compact cities, where there is a limited amount of space between …
