An experimental evaluation of the living wall system in hot and humid climate

The impact of greening systems on building energy performance: A literature review

“…It shows that using natural ventilation can slightly improve the cooling effect of vertical greening system due to higher evapotranspiration rate. The result of Chen et al [37] study confirms the previous findings. In a lab environment with no ventilation, the mean temperature of the indoor space only reduced by 0.4 ºC through the application of LWS.…”

“…Other authors have also addressed a similar trend for temperature reduction in the intermediate space of a LWS, as with the study by Chen at al. [37]. In this study, they observed the influence of natural ventilation and the air cavity thickness on the cooling effect of microclimate environment in the intermediate space.…”

“…Therefore the observed figures may be slightly different for a real building. For example, based on a field measurement, Chen et al [37] have addressed the cooling effect of LWS on the exterior wall more effective by a maximum reduction of 20.8 ºC compared to the bare wall in a hot and humid conditions.…”

Experimental characterization and implementation of an integrated autoregressive model to predict the thermal performance of vegetal façades

“…In addition, the monitoring periods usually taken into account are short and centered on the summer [19,24], making it impossible to extrapolate the analysis of the treated envelope's performance to other seasons of the year, a necessary condition, in turn, for the study of the building's global thermal balance.…”

“…Generally, these researches tend to base their conclusions on experimental data from monitorings and tests [19,20] or on simulation results [21][22][23].…”
