Simulation of the Energy Performance of a Building with Green Roofs and Green Walls in a Tropical Climate

Global temperatures have continued to rise for decades, partly due human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and subsequent urban heat island (UHI) effects. This current research examines the benefits of greenery by studying impact green roofs walls a building on thermal behavior transfer in warm humid climate. simulation study discusses importance greening systems improving comfort minimizing causes UHI assessing an integrated design. Using software DesignBuilder, significance systems, roofs, enhancing reducing factors that contribute is investigated. The results are based building’s energy usage hot regions while featuring walls. indicate considerable positive environment tropical climates. Air temperature, radiant humidity, solar gain decreased greening. total consumption district cooling demand buildings with reduced 10.5% 13%, respectively. substantially improve air quality efficiency. Thus, present study‘s findings can benefit designers dwellers devising strategies establishing spaces congested environments integrating technologies into built environments.
