Abstract

Vertical climbing greenery, as an energy-saving design tool, has a significant effect on improving the building microenvironment. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effect of vertical climbing greenery on the building microenvironment in summer, especially for a school building in Shenyang City, a cold region. In this study, a school building in Shenyang City was selected as the research object, and the ENVI-met software was used for simulation and analysis. Through simulation, the effects of vertical climbing greenery on the surface temperature of the building facade were evaluated. The simulation results show that the surface temperature of the exterior wall of the school building is significantly reduced by vertical climbing greening, in which the cooling effect of the ground brocade is better than that of the yuzan and ivy. In addition, vertical climbing greening has a positive effect on the heat and cold load of the building exterior wall, effectively reducing the energy consumption of the building. Therefore, vertical climbing greenery not only significantly improves the microenvironment of enclosed buildings, but also reduces air-conditioning utilization and building energy consumption, which is an effective natural building energy conservation method.
