13 Are Green wall systems sustainable? NUMBERS NEEDED!!
14 Life-cycle Analysis Any attempt to evaluate the benefits of green facades must follow the framework established by a standard LCA methodology with a reasonably realistic set of assumptions.
15 LCA Defined ISO ( 97) Life Cycle Assessment Framework Goal & Scope Definition Inventory Analysis Impact Assessment Interpretation Direct Applications: * Product Development & Improvement * Strategic planning * Public policy making * Marketing * Other
16 The Three Steps of LCA 1. The Life-cycle Inventory What are the energy, raw materials, emissions, & wastes? What data are needed? 2. Life-cycle Impact Analysis Assess environmental impacts identified in the life-cycle inventory. 3. Life-cycle Improvement Analysis Identifies opportunities to reduce the environmental impacts by modifying of the lifecycle inventory. 16
17 Green wall systems composition Green wall systems by their nature are complex systems, as are the sustainability issues to which they connect such as climate change, peak resources and land occupation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) can drive reduction of environmental impacts, by tying design decisions to impact reductions for contexts now, and those envisaged for the future.
18 Energy requirements and payback periods for three climates
19 One example of Life cycle inventory model components

22 2 environmental accounting methods Life Cycle Assessment (limited to the Carbon Footprint) EMergy Evaluation (EME) performance of VGS in a Mediterranean climate.
23 Carbon Footprint: results from the LCA compared to energy saving
24
25 Energy saving for heating, cooling and temperature decrease for Mediterranean and temperate climate
26 Concluding thoughts There is still a huge research gap regarding sustainability of Green wall systems (more climates, over the whole year, lack of research on orientation, evapotranspiration and shading must be analysed, lack of studies, especially in arid climate) Green wall systems must evolve to become more sustainable solutions, through the use of materials with less incorporated energy and CO 2 emissions and the application of climate adapted plant species with less irrigation needs
27 Concluding thoughts Some examples already show sustainability concerns by using natural or recycled materials and native plants, integrating water recovery systems and sensors for water and nutrients minimization. The decision of which green wall system is more appropriate to a certain project must depend not only on the construction and climatic restrictions but also on the environmental impact of its components (e.g., energy or water used and materials recyclability) and associated costs during its entire lifecycle.
