“…However shading by plants should not obstruct the passive heat gain through the building envelope during winter times otherwise it will increase the heating demand. Kontoleon & Eumorfopoulou [48] modelled a green wall with 20 cm thickness on four main directions of a building during summer to predict the influence of green wall's orientation on reducing the cooling demand in a mediterranean climate. The highest and lowest influence was acquired through greening the west-and north-oriented walls with 20% and 5% energy saving respectively.…”

The last decade has witnessed an increasing focus on cities as they grow in population and shift in their function. Alongside, has been the emergence of the social movement of biophilic design. This approach to city design and the built environment is nature based and encourages the incorporation of nature, including plants, in a variety of principles called 'biophilic design'. Biophilic design is being rapidly adopted globally as the multiple benefits are consistently revealed and reinforced. This is presenting new opportunities for the horticultural industry as the use of plants in cities increases in evolving and creative ways. This paper outlines the evolution of the social movement of biophilic design, the principles of implementation that have emerged and the multiple benefits that ensue.

ResumoO presente artigo objetiva descrever e sistematizar as principais tecnologias existentes para sistemas de jardins verticais e discutir os benefícios da sua implantação na escala da edificação. A metodologia consiste em uma revisão bibliográfica e busca por patentes e produtos disponíveis no mercado, que ajudam a entender quais são os modelos existentes, como eles funcionam e suas vantagens e desvantagens. A revisão evidencia que os sistemas de jardins verticais surgem como estruturas possíveis de plantio em superfícies verticalizadas, contudo, o sucesso destes não apenas está relacionado com a escolha adequada da tecnologia de suporte, mas também do sistema de irrigação, da utilização de espécies adequadas ao clima e ao tempo de exposição à radiação solar. Ao discutir essas questões, o artigo objetiva, ainda, contribuir para a difusão do conhecimento dessa importante tipologia da infraestrutura verde.Palavras-chave: Jardim Vertical. Parede verde. Infraestrutura verde. Paisagismo. Abstract This paper aims to describe and systematize the main existing technologies for vertical garden systems and discusses the benefits of implementing them at the building scale. The methodology consists of a literature review and the search for patents and products available in the market that help understand how the existing models operate and their advantages and disadvantages. The reviewshows that the vertical garden systems emerge as possible structures for planting in vertical surfaces; however, the success of these gardens is not only related to the proper choice of supporting technology, but also the irrigation system as well as the use of appropriate species to the climate and time of exposure to solar radiation. In discussing these issues, the paper aims to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge of this important typology of the green infrastructure.
