Thermal behavior evaluation of green roofs and green facades on tests cells

Abstract

In searching for better thermal behavior alternatives in building environments green wall systems and green roofs emerge as an improvement option, particularly in thermal comfort. This research has the objective to analyze different vegetable façade systems on test cells evaluating the thermal behavior of walls and interval air temperature during a Spring representative climate episode in Itirapina-SP. The results indicated the green wall and green roof test cell have a better thermal performance than control test cell.
