Abstract
Adaptation to climate change in cities is essential, and vertical greenery systems (VGSs) are used as a means of restoring the urban areas’ ecological integrity. This paper presents the classification, typology, and benefits of the VGS for the energy performance of buildings. To analyse its energy and environmental impacts, the use of VGS was simulated on the façades of residential buildings in the urban area of the City of Banja Luka. The results showed that VGS reduced the temperature of the wall and air in and around the buildings, as well as the emission of CO2 in the air.
