Adding IndoorLivingWall to HB

Is there a way to add this new IndoorLivingWall module Energy Plus has to HB? On the same page linked there’s also has an example IDF, but how do I add this in GH? - should this be added as a layer in construction like a material? What’s the best way to incorporate this?

For context, the purpose is to test green wall as a passive cooling strategy for mid-door comfort, and the final output is some utci / pmv mapping …

Thank you!
