Use of vertical greenery systems to conserve energy in administrative buildings in Egypt

Abstract EN

Urban development in Egypt has led to increased energy consumption.

at the same time, development sometimes comes at the expense of green spaces, and this is another problem.

many of the green spaces and large trees that had already existed over the years were removed, whether to develop a road network or other encroachments on green areas.

administrative buildings have a large share of energy consumption in Egypt, so the aim of this study is to rationalize energy consumption in administrative buildings, as well as increase green spaces in Egypt.

therefore, the research studies in detail the types of vertical green systems, their use, their structural and technological systems.

the study aims to prove the effectiveness of vertical greenery systems in Egypt by simulating a three-story administrative building.

the vertical greening system is applied to the southern facade using the design builder program.
