How I can create a green wall by using Honeybee in the empty areas between apertures ( I have a custom windows ) so I want to know how can I do it on the existing surface?
I tried to divide zones in the beginning by this way but I don’t know what’s the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Hello you can divide the wall surfaces between those containing the window+frame and those with the green wall (internal, because external does not have the EnergyPlus module). You can do this by using a polyline with the points defining the divisions of the surfaces as a base. Extrude and close the box with Cap Hole for example. Then in add_string add this:
IndoorLivingWall,
[Unique Name], !- Name
[Surface Name], !- Surface Name
Always On, !- Schedule Name
Penman-Monteith, !- Evapotranspiration Calculation Method
LED, !- Lighting Method
Always On, !- LED Intensity Schedule Name
, !- Daylighting Control Name
LightingTarget, !- LED-Daylight Targeted Lighting Intensity Schedule Name
[Area Leaf], !- Total Leaf Area {m2}
32.5, !- LED Nominal Intensity {umol/m2-s}
640, !- LED Nominal Power {W}
0.6; !- Radiant Fraction of LED Lights
if instead of artificial lighting you want to control the phenomenon with daylight (you can also a mixture of articial+natural) you have to set up a daylight point reference and a daylight control, recalling it in the text above.

Hi @ManarEltanbouly to add onto what MassimilianoBusnelli said, there is an e+ object called ‘Material:RoofVegetation’ There is a component for it:
the caveat being that Material:RoofVegetation object was specifically designed for roofs orientation and green roofs specifically. Its said when using the Material:RoofVegetation object on a wall its good to check the results and ensure the walls are behaving reasonably, and validate the results with care.

I already used this but when I simulate no changes appears, I think there is another way to simulate the impact from outdoor to indoor but I cannot reach to.
by the way thanks a lot for your reply really appreciate.
Thank you so much , but I don’t under stand well the first thing related to divide the wall surface between window+frame and with the green wall.
Thanks
