| Description | The experimental study of vegetated walls and their effects on humidity, air temperature and CO2is essential. This paper presents an experiment on a green wall to apprehend its thermal and hydrological behavior and its impact inside the building. The experiment is based on a living wall set up in a classroom. Monitoring of temperature, humidity and CO2 variations within the living wall and a reference case enabled us to analyze the effects of green walls. Measurements were performed in Košice, a city in Slovakia. During the measurements, a set of questions were answered. The data from the respondents were used to achievethe goal of this interdisciplinary research, which was to identify the effect of green walls on the well-being of people. It can be stated that women are more sensitive to changes than men. Following the measurements, it can be stated that the green wall is very favorable for indoor environments. The optimum relative air humidity in rooms such as classrooms, hotels and theaters is from 30% to 70%. From a relative humidity perspective, green walls appear to be beneficial for indoor buildings. |
