The use of edible vertical greenery system to improve thermal performance in tropical climate / Hazril Sherney Basher … [et al.]

The vertical greenery system (VGS) is a passive shading and urban greening solution for multi-storey buildings. Buildings installed with VGS could benefit from lower indoor air temperature, which in turn will save energy. As cities are experiencing urban heat island due to excessive development and...
