Abstract:Climate change and unresolved environmental challenges in arid environments negatively affect urban development. Previous literature tackled the significance of ecological approaches and building envelope optimization as main pillars in reducing energy consumption and enhancing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings. This study aims to tackle an environmental simulation of implementing green roofs and green walls as an ecological strategy applied to the building envelope with considerations of the … Show more
