Integrating Green Wall in Healthcare Buildings to Curb Climate Change

Abstract

Two major encounters faced by the construction industry are, how to reducing use of energy and indoor air pollution. Hence, construction offer the highest opportunity to conservation of energy and reducing air pollution. The research aimed at identifying functional and responsive building envelopes, in terms of green the sustainable façade material, and  analyzing them, to get the most suitable combination, as green walls which reduces CO2 emission of buildings, focussing on Health Care Buildings, so as to be environmentally responsive. The reason for focussing on them is that, they are highly developed, and constitute one of the most energy-intensive buildings. A narrative expolaration of literature was adopted for the study. The study is significant in the sense that, a building constructed for the promotion of health must be seen operating and contributing to the environment in responsive ways. This study although based on a literature review sees an ability of a gray area for further study, as a huge gap is identified particularly the trio of green façade, health, and climate change.
