“…Since a wide range of terminological approaches are employed for the vertical greenery on buildings in different studies, the commonly applied terms were considered as keywords for this search. The terms included 'Vertical greenery system', 'Vertical greening system', 'Green vertical system', 'Vertical garden', 'Vertical green', 'Green wall', 'Bio-shader', 'Biowall', and 'Vertical landscaping' [6,7,9,10]. In this study, we have opted for 'Vertical Greenery System (VGS)' as it is widely recognized and serves as the most comprehensive representation of these structures.…”

“…Through an analysis of the existing greenery system elements, their features, and challenges from the pre-design to the maintenance phase, we determined the parameters that played a significant role in the process of decision-making to achieve an optimum VGS design. Eventually, the selected parameters were classified into eight main groups according to their functions and impact [6]:…”

“…There is a common belief that the cost of installation and maintenance is the main reason for this lack of use. However, there are other important reasons, such as the lack of information and opportunities for planners, architects, and decision-makers to efficiently integrate these systems into the decision-making and planning process with less effort [4,6].…”

The greening of buildings’ facades is not a new practice; it has been used since ancient times for protection and aesthetic purposes. Nowadays, the approach used towards the greening of facades has changed considerably. Vertical greenery systems (VGS) have been proposed as one of the innovative solutions to promote sustainable building functions. Present-day facade greenery not only offers traditional architectural potential but also incorporates advanced materials and technologies to adapt to the requirements of modern urban life. In recent years, the number of buildings that use this technology has increased considerably, and accordingly, the technology involved and the methods of application have changed to be in line with the new necessities. Various types of VGS have been introduced to provide users with a wider range of options that are applicable in different climates and conditions. As a result, different methods of VGS implementation have been adopted; however, there is no established standardization for VGS designs or their variations. Choosing the proper type of VGS is a crucial step in the decision-making process for VGS design. In this research, we provide an overview of the most significant existing classifications of vertical greenery systems and propose a comprehensive classification based on an analysis of their features and classification criteria. Moreover, influential factors in VGS design are investigated. This article presents a comprehensive framework for the sustainable design of vertical greenery systems by outlining the primary parameters that are crucial to identifying and selecting the most suitable type of VGS. The framework also incorporates design aspects, thus stressing the necessity of considering changes to attributes that could affect the overall functionality of a VGS and, as a result, impact the decision-making process. The results of this study provide a valuable resource to systematically study greenery systems, and their parameters, and also to make informed decisions that are aligned with current the sustainability objectives of future research in terms of cost, energy consumption, and maintenance.

PurposeNowadays, designing environmentally compatible buildings with acceptable performance in terms of cost, materials, and energy efficiency is considered crucial for developing sustainable cities. This research aims to identify and rank the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems in the smartification of green and sustainable buildings.Design/methodology/approachThe present research is applied and descriptive. In this study, we identified the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems through library studies and expert opinions. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and a combination of the one-sample t-test method with a 95% confidence level and the fuzzy VIKOR method was employed for analysis.FindingsThe results show that the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems in the Smartification of green and sustainable buildings, in order, are: “Energy saving and consumption reduction,” “Increased productivity and efficiency,” “Life-cycle assessment (LCA),” “Eco-friendly design,” “Integration with IoT and other technologies.”Originality/valueIn this study, while addressing the intersection of BIM technology, green building principles, and smart building objectives to optimize the performance of buildings during their life cycle, the most influential factors in the use of this system were ranked based on the criteria of “impact level,” “importance level,” and “availability of necessary tools” for implementation in Kerman. Moreover, solutions for more effectively utilizing this system in the smartification of green and intelligent buildings were proposed.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a technique that enhances construction management. The BIM's capacity to create a model that can be used from the building's inception all the way through its construction and eventual occupancy is one of its primary benefits. Because of this benefit, it can be considered a fundamental part of construction management. BIM is a crucial tool for construction management, but its use is still in its infancy in some countries as this study shows. Therefore, this article aims to assess the impact of BIM as a tool for construction management in different parts of the globe and their adoption rates and by extension, identify ways to enhance or otherwise facilitate its application in the construction sector at the global level.
