Using Vertical Green as Material for Complying Building Energy Code

Abstract:

Plant utilization as a part of building envelope has never been introduced in view of the compliance to Building Energy Code or the successful building energy codes or even in view of energy for building labeling. This research tries to find out the approach to utilize the equivalent plant conductivity (k_e) in order to make the plant as a construction material for the building envelope. The k_e is plugged into the formula of the Overall Thermal Transfer Value to see the energy saving for air-condition from having vertical green. By testing on two rooms with air conditioner, one with vertical green and another is without vertical green, the room with vertical green reduced the Overall Thermal Transfer Value from 59.87 W/m² to 49.39 W/m².
