Abstract
Presently, green on roofs and on the plane is more popular method to make environment green. However, it is crowded in Taiwan urban area and the land resource is limited. Therefore, to carry out greening walls could increase the green view and also achieve the energy conservation to reduce effect of the carbon.
The major purpose of this research is to discuss thermal effect of greening wall which focus on climbing plants in reducing temperature of concrete buildings.
First, using thermal imagers examines some available greening wall cases in Taiwan. Using the result to do quantitative and qualitative analysis and compare the surface temperature differences of greening walls with that of bare walls.
Second, ordinary performance concrete and light weight concrete are used for specimens to simulate the wall of a room. The surface temperature of concrete specimens with different leaf area density would be measured by thermal couples, and further, summarize the cooling effect, energy conservation and carbon reduction of climbing plants application on buildings.
