Green facade features for office buildings in the future climate
Green facade features for office buildings in the future climate
A facade's refurbishment is essential for London 2050 to achieve the zero-carbon goals since facades influence more than 50% of the energy consumed. The green façade strategy is passive solution to satisfy this issue due to its benefits. This work aims to evaluate the impacts of green facades on thermal comfort and wellbeing quality inside the environment of office buildings in London. Several scenario studies with various conclusions about how energy and daylight react to changing input conditions are the result. The proposed study would utilize green façades in office buildings to achieve useful natural daylight, thermal performance enhancement, and energy savings to adapt to London's future climate. The findings suggest that the application of green facade features with natural ventilation reduces energy consumptionand enhances thermal performance with fresh air due to their ability to filter air. Additionally, depending on orientation, it can eliminate uncomfortable glare in spaces.

Abstract
A facade's refurbishment is essential for London 2050 to achieve the zero-carbon goals since facades influence more than 50% of the energy consumed. The green façade strategy is passive solution to satisfy this issue due to its benefits. This work aims to evaluate the impacts of green facades on thermal comfort and wellbeing quality inside the environment of office buildings in London. Several scenario studies with various conclusions about how energy and daylight react to changing input conditions are the result. The proposed study would utilize green façades in office buildings to achieve useful natural daylight, thermal performance enhancement, and energy savings to adapt to London's future climate. The findings suggest that the application of green facade features with natural ventilation reduces energy consumptionand enhances thermal performance with fresh air due to their ability to filter air. Additionally, depending on orientation, it can eliminate uncomfortable glare in spaces.
