Impact of green wall orientation on building energy performance in a tropical climate: An experimental assessment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vertical Greenery Systems, also known as Green Walls have emerged as essential components of Green Infrastructure, offering promising outcomes for both the present and the distant future. This study aimed to establish correlations between orientation and the thermal performance of green walls. The research was conducted in a controlled climatic environment, featuring a bare wall as the control experiment and green walls with four different plant species, including Xiphidium caeruleum , Asparagus aethiopicus , Ophiopogon japonicas , and Dianella ensifolia variegate. The growth medium consisted of a consistent 1:1:1 ratio of coir dust, sand, and compost for all plant species. Data collection, which spanned from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., included parameters: surface temperature, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed for the green wall’s exterior and interior. The results of the study demonstrated that east-oriented green walls, particularly those featuring Asparagus aethiopicus , achieved significant influence on building energy conservation, with a maximum temperature reduction of 4.1 °C in both interior and exterior surface temperatures compared to the bare wall. The findings highlight the potential of optimally oriented green walls to reduce cooling energy consumption in buildings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
