“…The treatment of Antigonon leptopus treatment, with a mesh size of 4 cm (S1L1), was the treatment with the highest increase in flower numbers compared to other treatments. Similar to this result, Antigonon leptopus reveal the best growth performance index with parameters of height increment rate, foliage density and attractiveness, and quantity of flowers compared to various climber species such as Bougainvillea sp, Pyrostegia venusta and Quisqualis indica [6].…”

Various climbing plants can be selected as an element in the vertical greenery system. However, it should consider the species’ suitability to climb any vertical structure. This study aims to analyze the growth rates of several climbing plants in a vertical plane at different hole sizes of a wire mesh. The experimental design used in this experiment was a split-plot factorial randomized block design that consisted of two factors with three replications. The species factor consisted of Antigonon leptosus Hook, Clerodendrum thomsomniae Balf. f, and Thunbergia grandiflora Roxb., while the mesh (hole) size factor consisted of 4 cm and 6 cm. Galvanized wire mesh was used as a vertical plane, while the plane dimension in each experimental unit was 3 m in height and 0.5 m in width. The research results found the best treatments obtained in the growth of A. leptopus in a mesh size of 4 cm. A combination of A. leptopus in a mesh size of 4 cm produced the highest value in plant height, the number of leaves, the percentage of plant coverage, and increasing of flowers number. T.grandiflora and C.thomsoniae ranked second and third in growth rate, respectively

“…Generally, mesh-climbers may have faster establishment and growth rates than selfclinging climbers (i.e. climbers that can attach to bare wall surface) (Jim 2015b). In addition, Parthenocissus species may have high stem and foliage density that creates a dense cover on walls (e.g.…”

In Nordic climate, climbers covering facades are conventionally removed, although there is no evidence of the actual impact of the climbers on the moisture performance of facades. Such information is needed to support building design and nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation. This study aimed to find evidence on the performance of green facades from the physical and life-cycle engineering perspectives of buildings by testing double-skin green facades in laboratory and field conditions. First a mature thicket creeper was grown on a steel mesh over 100 days, and it was exposed to rain and dry periods by accelerated weathering equipment in a laboratory. Then the leafless creeper was exposed to rain cycles on a rooftop in natural conditions. The results indicated the high protective capacities of the climber during the leaf season, but even during the winter season (without leaves) protective performance was measured in laboratory and natural conditions. In conclusion, double-skin green facades provide effective protection from wind-driven rain while the distance between the green structure and the load-bearing wall impacts the relative humidity levels, and the drying process of the load-bearing wall. Thus, moisture safety can be improved with a double-skin structure with ventilation and access for maintenance.

“…Green walls can also have very positive effects on improving sound insulation [17][18][19]. Green walls are used more and more as a means of fighting against urban climate warming, especially in the case of tropical climates [20][21][22] or to reduce consumption of heating or air conditioning [23]. Moreover, many studies, green walls contribute to the improvement of air quality [24,25] and bring biodiversity to urban centers [3].…”
