LITERATURE REVIEW

In this part, an attempt has been made to review the literature for analysis of this study. The
present energy crisis has focused on international attentional upon the different ways of
reducing the heat load condition in a room.
A lot of research in the field of air conditioning in conditioning a room from different sources
has being done.
K.J. Kontoleon, E.A. Eumorfopoulou altogether examined the influence of the
orientation and proportion (covering percentage) of plant-covered sections and the
thermal behaviour of typical buildings.

As
to the effect of construction parameters, the layer position of brick work/protection has
been additionally considered. The examination has been done utilizing a warm system
show that sufficiently recreates the building zone under suspicion; its approval
depended on test comes about because of an as of late revealed review. The model makes
arrangement for a few warmth stream ways with a specific end goal to consider the leaf
cover on the outer divider surface, warm exchange through the surfaces that constitute
the building envelope, and normal ventilation. The impact of introduction and covering
rate of plant foliage for dividers with various designs was considered utilizing delegate
open air natural information for the zone area at a particular day and age.

G. Prez, et al. presented a classification of green vertical systems for buildings. The main
aim of this classification is to bring the identification and variation between systems. This
classification is also essential to compare future research results relating to their operation. In
addition, the mechanisms by which green facades can be used as passive energy savings
systems are reviewed: shadow produced by the vegetation, insulation provided by vegetation
and substrate, evaporative cooling by evapotranspiration, and the barrier effect to the wind.
At long last, the paper portrays the principal comes about the conduct of a twofold skin green
veneer or green shade in Dry Mediterranean Continental conditions. It is confirmed that a
microclimate between the mass of the building and the green drape is made, and it is
described by somewhat bring down temperatures and higher relative stickiness. This implies
the green screen goes about as a wind obstruction and affirms the evapotranspiration impact
of the plants..

, N.H. Wong, et al. In summer of 1992 checked pinnacle power and cooling vitality
investment funds from shade trees in two houses in Sacramento, CA. The gathered
information incorporate aerating and cooling power utilize, indoor and open air dry
globule temperatures and humidities, rooftop and roof surface temperatures, inside and
outside divider temperatures, insolation, and wind speed and bearing. Shade trees at the
two checked houses yielded occasional cooling vitality funds of 30%, comparing to a
normal every day investment funds of 3.6 and 4.8 kWh/d. Top request investment funds
for similar houses were 0.6 and 0.8 kW (around 27% reserve funds in one house and
42% in the other). The checked houses were demonstrated with the DOE-2.1E
reproduction program. The reproduction comes about thought little of the cooling
vitality investment funds and pinnacle control diminishments by as much as twofold.

Thermal evaluation of vertical greenery systems for building walls

This research involves the study of 8 different vertical greenery systems (VGSs) installed in
HortPark to evaluate the thermal impacts on the performance of buildings and their
immediate environment based on the surface and ambient temperatures. VGSs 3 and 4 have
the best cooling efficiency according to the maximum temperature reduction of the wall and
substrate surfaces. These results point to the potential thermal benefits of vertical greenery
systems in reducing the surface temperature of buildings facades in the tropical climate,
leading to a reduction in the cooling load and energy cost. In terms of the lowest diurnal
range of average wall surface temperature fluctuation, VGSs 4 and 1 show the highest
capacities. No vertical greenery system performs well in term of the diurnal range of average
substrate temperature fluctuation. By limiting the diurnal fluctuation of wall surface
temperatures, the lifespan of building facades is prolonged, slowing down wear and tear as
well as savings in maintenance cost and the replacement of faade parts. The effects of
vertical greenery systems on ambient temperature are found to depend on specific vertical
greenery systems. VGS 2 has hardly any effect on the ambient temperature while the effects
of VGS 4 are felt as far as 0.60 m away. Given the preponderance of wall facades in the built
environment, the use of vertical greenery systems to cool the ambient temperature in building
canyons is promising. Furthermore, air intakes of air-conditioning at a cooler ambient
temperature translate into saving in energy cooling load.

CONCLUSION FROM LITERATURE REVIEW

The following conclusion are made from this literature review:
Utilization of vertical greenery framework helps in expanding the cooling load in
a shut room.
Psychrometry properties are required in deciding the solace conditions
