Thermal Performance Simulation of Hydroponic Green Wall in a ColdClimate
TL;DR: In this article, a thermal modeling method was used to evaluate the thermal performance of different types of green walls in different facades of green schools in cold and hot weather conditions, and the best kind of green hydroponic wall with the best thermal performance was identified for each wall.

Property tax assessment incentive model for green building initiative in Malaysia
Ab. Azis,Shazmin Shareena +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of property tax assessment incentive based on improved value excluding financial expenditure from the local authority was developed for green buildings in Malaysia and validated through semi-structured interview with the Director of Valuation Department at Kulai Municipal Council.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic heat transfer model of vertical green façades and its co-simulation with a building energy modelling program in hot-summer/warm-winter zones
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a dynamic heat transfer (DHT) model for VGFs based on the Beer-Lambert Law and Penman-Monteith Equation.
Peer ReviewDOI
A review of the application of green walls in the acoustic field
TL;DR: In this article , the authors give a systematic review of the application of green walls in the acoustic field and clarify the key factors that influence the acoustic performance of green wall and the main obstacles that obstruct the broader application.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of vertical greenery system on building thermal performance in tropical climates
Nur Dinie Afiqah Mohammad Shuhaimi,Suzaini M. Zaid,Masoud Esfandiari,Eric Lou,Norhayati Mahyuddin +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a data prediction method is used to identify the overall thermal transfer value (OTTV) from several hypothetical case studies, and the best design with the lowest OTTV reduction through VGS is identified.

View through a window may influence recovery from surgery
TL;DR: Surgical patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays, received fewer negative evaluative comments in nurses' notes, and took fewer potent analgesics than matched patients in similar Rooms with windows facing a brick building wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cool surfaces and shade trees to reduce energy use and improve air quality in urban areas
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of temperature trends for the last 100 years in several large U.S. cities indicate that, since ∼1940, temperatures in urban areas have increased by about 0.5-3.0°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban climates and heat islands: albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heat
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of surface albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heating on the near-surface climate are discussed, and numerical simulations and field measurements indicate that increasing vegetation cover can be effective in reducing the surface and air temperatures near the ground.
