Abstract

Green living walls can improve the aesthetic quality of a building and moderate the temperature within it. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the green wall has any effect on the interior temperature of the building in the hot and cold months of the year. Temperatures on an outside wall as well as on research and control areas were monitored to capture temperature data for a one-year period that encompassed all seasons: sunny, cold and wet. The findings of this research contribute to the knowledge of the effects provided by green living walls in terms of cooling and heating, the influence on the proximity microclimatic conditions, and overall energy transfer. Heat flux of 20-100 W/m2 was found indicating an insulating effect that brings about cooling in the interior of the building. During summer months a cooling effect of 2-4 °C was observed, while the opposite effect was observed during winter in that the temperatures did not drop by much but provide a insulating effect of 2-3 °C higher than it was for the control area. Altogether, green living walls could be implemented to reduce and insulating interior living conditions and therefore reduce building energy demands.

热调节绿色生活墙
绿色生活墙可以提高建筑的审美质量,调节建筑内部的温度。本文的目的是研究在一年中炎热和寒冷的月份,绿墙是否对建筑物的内部温度有任何影响。对外墙以及研究和控制区域的温度进行了为期一年的监测,以获取包括所有季节(晴天、寒冷和潮湿)的温度数据。本研究的结果有助于了解绿色生物墙在制冷和制热方面的作用,对邻近小气候条件的影响,以及整体能量转移。热通量为20-100 W/m2,表明隔热效果带来了建筑内部的冷却。在夏季,观察到2-4°C的冷却效果,而在冬季观察到相反的效果,因为温度没有下降太多,但提供了比对照区高2-3°C的绝缘效果。总之,绿色生活墙可以减少和隔离室内生活条件,从而减少建筑能源需求。
