Abstract

The research introduces a study on the efficiency of green walls in achieving thermal comfort in educational interior spaces. Green walls can reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions through reducing heating and cooling loads. The research methodology depends on measuring the efficiency of green walls by using design builder a software simulation tool, to assess the thermal comfort in an educational interior space. Results show that energy decreases by 34% and carbon dioxide decreases by 30%.
