Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a worldwide threat affecting building energy demand,
public health, and energy security. Green wall deployment can simultaneously positively …

Buildings consume about 30% of the world's resources and around 40% of the world's
energy. The growing interest in energy saving and environmental sustainability in buildings …

Green façades are one of many innovative solutions widely applied to buildings to reduce
energy consumption. Green façades can mitigate urban heat through evapotranspiration …

Urban green infrastructure furnishes one of the most effective ways to mitigate and adapt to
climate change and the consequent thermal environment deterioration. ENVI-met, a holistic …

Energy performance of a double-skin green façade in Mediterranean climate was
investigated. Experimental data were collected at a green façade prototype realized at the …

Urban green infrastructures (GI) are efficient nature-based solutions for urban heat
mitigation. Typically, three GI typologies, ie, green roof, green wall, and street tree, are often …

New and retrofitted green roofs and green walls (GRGW) represent an opportunity to
attenuate excessive heat produced in increasingly densely developed urban environments …

Past studies have demonstrated the remarkable energy-saving effect of vertical greenery
systems. The vast majority of these works focus on opaque building walls. While external …

Increased artificial constructions due to urbanization absorb more solar radiation, making
urban surface and air temperatures rise and affecting the energy performance of urban …

Plant transpiration through stomata is crucial in land surface physical processes and the
hydrosphere-atmosphere-biosphere water vapor cycle. Applying stomatal models to vertical …
