Why is it important?

Green walls can be a good way to make buildings more environmentally friendly. They can help clean the air, reduce noise, and even help with energy efficiency. This study is trying to understand how these walls work so that we can build them in the best possible way.

This research helps to provide a comprehensive view of using green walls in residential buildings. By considering the effects of thermal control, visual comfort, and light control in buildings, we can identify new and efficient dimensions of using green walls.
