Aerodynamic Implications of Building-Integrated Greening in Urban Architecture
Building-integrated greening has emerged as an important sustainable strategy in urban design, combining environmental benefits with improved building performance. Despite extensive research on thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and urban heat mitigation, the aerodynamic effects of façade and rooftop greening remain less understood. Since wind behavior directly influences natural ventilation, pressure distribution, and air exchange in buildings, it is critical to investigate how vegetation layers interact with wind flow. This research highlights the need to evaluate the aerodynamic implications of green facades and roofs in order to ensure their effective and safe integration into architectural design. Wind Tunnel Experiments in Architectural Greening Wind tunnel testing provides a reliable method to analyze the aerodynamic effects of building-integrated greening. By simulating wind flow patterns across model structures with varying greening thicknesses and permeabilities, res...
