Abstract

Greenery in the urban environment is slowly disappearing and is being replaced by new construction. This trend has several consequences. One of them is the overheating of the urban climate and the associated increased need for energy for cooling. We are trying to eliminate this negative impact by creating green structures on buildings. As such, greenery brings a number of benefits. It helps to cool buildings, but also the urban climate, through the shading effect of leaves and the evaporation of trapped water. There are a number of studies around the world that investigate green roofs, or green facades. The effect of green leaf area index on cooling by shading and the effect of the distance of the façade from the envelope are investigated. Another influence is the orientation to the cardinal directions and the careful selection of plants. One of the main factors influencing the functionality of green facades is the choice of plants in relation to the climatic conditions in the country. In this article I discuss the adaptation of green facades to the climatic conditions in Slovakia. In Slovakia this issue is minimally studied and green facades occur only sporadically or only seasonally.

绿色外墙-在海绵城市中的应用

城市环境中的绿色植物正在慢慢消失，取而代之的是新的建筑。这种趋势有几个后果。其中之一是城市气候的过热以及随之而来的制冷能源需求的增加。我们正试图通过在建筑物上创造绿色结构来消除这种负面影响。因此，绿化带来了许多好处。通过树叶的遮阳作用和截留水分的蒸发，它有助于冷却建筑物，也有助于城市气候。世界上有许多关于绿色屋顶或绿色外墙的研究。研究了绿叶面积指数对遮荫降温的影响以及遮荫距离对遮荫降温的影响。另一个影响是对基本方向的定位和对植物的精心选择。影响绿色立面功能的主要因素之一是与该国气候条件相关的植物选择。在这篇文章中，我讨论了绿色立面对斯洛伐克气候条件的适应。在斯洛伐克，这个问题很少被研究，绿色立面只是偶尔或季节性地出现。

期刊介绍： MATEC Web of Conferences is an Open Access publication series dedicated to archiving conference proceedings dealing with all fundamental and applied research aspects related to Materials science, Engineering and Chemistry. All engineering disciplines are covered by the aims and scope of the journal: civil, naval, mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering as well as nanotechnology and metrology. The journal concerns also all materials in regard to their physical-chemical characterization, implementation, resistance in their environment… Other subdisciples of chemistry, such as analytical chemistry, petrochemistry, organic chemistry…, and even pharmacology, are also welcome. MATEC Web of Conferences offers a wide range of services from the organization of the submission of conference proceedings to the worldwide dissemination of the conference papers. It provides an efficient archiving solution, ensuring maximum exposure and wide indexing of scientific conference proceedings. Proceedings are published under the scientific responsibility of the conference editors.
