Abstract

 Urbanization and rapidly growing population change cities' features and
convert them to concrete jungles with more buildings and fewer green areas. This
bad conversion cause number of aesthetic, economical, and environmental issues
like air and water pollution, higher energy consumption, increasing air
temperature which lead to discomfort in outdoor and indoor environments.
Vertical greenery systems (VGSs) stand as one of the green infrastructure features
used to indemnify the lack of horizontal greenery and enhance the building envelop
interaction towards the internal and external environment.
Vertical greenery systems are living and dynamic component. Many
studies have been conducted to recoginse how vertical greenery systems work and
what affect their thermal performance. This paper aims to provide a deep
understanding of different factors that affect the impact of this vegetated wall.
These factors fall into two main categories: building-related factors and greeneryrelated factors. Comprehensive review of the variables influencing VGS
performance will lead to better design decisions for VGS elements and will
improve utilization potentials.
