Evaluation of Shading of Green Facades on Visual Comfort and Thermal load of the Buildings

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the building 's green fa & ccedil;ade on regulating the indicators of daylight, visual comfort, heating and cooling load, and its features (such as the density of greenery and distance from the main facade). The effects of simulating 30 distinct green facade designs for various building fronts were examined. The findings reveal that altering the green facade 's distance (between 0 and 50 cm) had no discernible impact on the variables. The values of DA, UDI max , and cooling load have lowered by increasing density from 20 % to 100 %. The heating burden has grown, though. Higher densities of the green facade between different distances show a greater difference in the values of the tested variables than lower densities. For instance, at 100 % density, the UDI max value rose from the highest to lowest distance (0.50 cm) by 59.6 %, but at 20 % density, this shift was only 2.9 %.
