Challenges of vertical landscaping in Building Envelope

Ankit Kumar

Abstract


The vertical gardens not only increase the amount of green space in cities, but they also serve other purposes including improving air quality, reducing heat islands, isolating sound and heat, producing more energy, and enhancing human psychology. Vertical gardens are designed for the aesthetic purposes and avoiding the spread of applications due to factors like constant maintenance challenges, high expense, lack of understanding, and consciousness. The purpose of this study was to identify the benefits and challenges associated with vertical gardening. In this case, a study of the literature was done along with an analysis of the different types of vertical gardens as well as their benefits and drawbacks. The study's findings demonstrated the significance of vertical gardens in urban environments, particularly for improving energy efficiency and promoting sustainable development.
