TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 8 different vertical greenery systems (VGSs) installed in HortPark to evaluate the thermal impacts on the performance of buildings and their immediate environment based on the surface and ambient temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy simulation of vertical greenery systems
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of vertical greenery systems on the temperature and energy consumption of buildings were simulated and a thermal calculation of the envelope thermal transfer value (ETTV) to obtain their effects on the thermal performance of building envelope is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustics evaluation of vertical greenery systems for building walls
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of eight different vertical greenery systems installed in HortPark, Singapore to evaluate their acoustics impacts on the insertion loss of building walls was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception Studies of Vertical Greenery Systems in Singapore
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discover the current perception of vertical greenery systems and barriers to their widespread adoption in Singapore, and conclude that the energy saving property of VGs make them suitable for the local conditions as Singapore depends heavily on air conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural ventilation performance of classroom with solar chimney system
TL;DR: In this article, a solar chimney system was constructed to enhance the air ventilation within the interior spaces using a series of solar assisted ducts that linked the lower floor classrooms and upper floor hall.
