7 Abstract In present time, more and more people move into cities. Densification of cities as planning policy together with an intensive urbanization makes urban planners face with the contradictory task of creating a city that is both dense and green. The unstoppable force of urbanization is consuming vast quantities of natural vegetation, replacing them with concrete buildings and low albedo surface. These resulting changes in the thermal properties of surface materials and the lack of evaporation in urban areas, leads to the phenomena known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Since the beginning of the twentieth century research into the use of green inside the cities increased substantially. In particular the amount of publications, articles and research focusing on the use of green roofs and green facades has increased in recent years. Nowadays the environmental impact of buildings on inner and outer climate becomes more and more apparent. Where, green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. Recently, the popularity of vertical greenery is growing in the context of urban landscaping because of its smaller footprint, aesthetic value and heat island mitigation impact, as a part of new technology that allows the use alternative vegetation i.e. green roofs, roof vegetation and green walls. One of the main advantages of this type of vegetation is that they can be used without taking precious land space. The thesis is exposed to the potentials of using vertical greening as an integral part of the building process to save energy, where it firstly introduces the environmental crisis and UHI effect globally to identify the impact of vegetation as a sustainable approach for UHI mitigation. After addressing vertical greening types, functional and environmental aspects in general, the study distills these different vertical greening systems applicable to enhance façade thermal performance in terms of indoor thermal comfort. This will be empirically examined by DesignBuilder simulation, to explore the possibilities of improving indoor thermal comfort within the studied types. Then conclude to a set of recommendations for buildings within Egypt s climatic settings. Keywords: Urban Heat Island, Thermal Comfort, Vegetation and Climate, Vertical Greening. ii

17 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
18 Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Inception CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Building façades constitute the line division between the indoor and the outdoor, participating in the spaces of both sides. Initially, the main role of façades was to provide protection from the climate s inclemencies as well as from other humans or animals 1. As technology made progress façades became more permeable, allowing air and light to pass through them, leading to the very thin façades of glazing buildings. In accordance, façades requirements became more and more complex in order to improve indoor comfort conditions. Accordingly, new aspects in building façades have emerged in order to express the notion of variability and changeability in façade s environmental aspects. One of these aspects is vertical greening which has been developed throughout the last decade, in order to enhance façades functional aspects such as improving insulation in buildings (stabilizing temperature among all seasons) 2. Another potential is improving aesthetics, improving indoor and outdoor climate, reduce the greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) as well as increasing ecological values by creating habitats for birds and insects 3. Throughout the years, replacement of vegetated surfaces with paved and impervious surfaces in the urban area have caused the temperature in the area to increase comparing to the surrounding rural area 4. This is due to the paved surfaces absorbs, retain, and reradiate more solar energy than grasses and trees which leads to that the ambient temperature in urban area can be as much as 6ºC warmer than the air in rural areas 5. This process has drawn attention to the role of vegetation in the contribution of energy efficiency through a variety of means such as simple shading by trees, climbing plants or a green 1 Herzog, Krippner, Lang, (2004).

19 Chapter 1: Introduction roof can help stop a building from over-heating and can so reduce cooling loads by up to 30% 6. Conversely, a layer of vegetation can also reduce heat loss from buildings, and it has been found that protecting a house from wind reduced by 75% and reduced the heating demand by 25% 7. In spite of these important roles that vertical greening plays in enhancing the urban environment, there has been some conflict considering its technical aspects and maintance issues, Thus, this duality will be discussed in this research, to provide a more valid discussion for the technical and functional aspects of different vertical greening systems in buildings. 1.2 Observations One of the driving observations which directed the course of the research is to investigate the emerging practice of vertical greening that contemporary architecture is experiencing. Where, more and more architects are experimenting with diverse ways of introducing greenery to building façades, providing a wide spectrum of different types of vertical greening. This practice, which one might call a boom of vertical greening, is spreading all around the world as the following recent examples reflect, the figures below show examples from Jupilles, France (figure 1.1) to Reston, USA (figure 1.2) to Tokyo, Japan (figure 1.3) to Madrid, Spain (figure 1.4).

20 Chapter 1: Introduction Figure 1.3 Green Screens in Tokyo, Japan, 2010 (Available at: in-dytham-architecture-green-screen,accessed on ) This observation was particularly valid with a very explicit reference in this context, where leading architects, such as Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron and Patric Blanc, seem to find in vertical greening a natural response to the current accelerated information society, one which demands a changeable architecture 8. As well as to the emerging need for a carbon neutral architecture, one which demands an environmentally sensible architecture. Architects are exploring the changeable and expressive capacity of vegetation on the façade, fascinated by its faculty to naturally introduce the notion of time, providing an ephemeral dimension: The ephemeral dimension infers a rapport between architecture and ephemeral elements. Vegetation is one of these and is of course very fleeting, very sensitive and very changeable 9 Figure 1.4 Caixa Forum in Madrid, Spain, 2008 (Available at: Accessed on ) Recent buildings illustrate this. In the case of Jean Nouvel, the green façade of the Quai Branly Museum (figure.1.5) in Paris, achieves a spectacular explosion of different plant species, transmit the thickness and heaviness of living walls, and creates diverse green tapestries rich in texture and tonalities of green, and often punctuated by flowers 10. In the case of Patric Blanc, the green façade of the Caixa Forum in Tokyo uses the same moss-type plant to take different inclinations as if it was referred as the sponge, grass-covered topography of the yard Lambertini, A., (2007).
