Global warming and energy crisis are two of the biggest issues the world faces today. Building sector plays a major role in contributing to these issues due to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions. Integration of vertical greening with buildings has rapidly evolved due to the aesthetic appeal and sustainable benefits such as uplifting the urban environmental conditions. The research was initiated to introduce vertical greenery to a broader context and to develop a modular green wall system for building facades as a sustainable building envelop in Sri Lankan context.
