Abstract
The issue of energy consumption, especially in the building sector and, reducing energy are considered a major challenge faced by construction today. The research aims is optimization of energy efficiency by using vegetated façadesin multi-story residential buildings in cold semi-arid and hot arid climate. It investigates the parametrical design for using vegetated façades. For this purpose, the energy consumptions are evaluated by using DesignBuilder tool, a vegetated layer considered as an additional layer for building, also as shading device therefore, the comparison will be between non-vegetated, direct and indirect green vegetated, insulated and shading façade.The study concluded that indirect green vegetated façades reduce the energy from 16.6% to 70.0% for cooling, and from 3.5% to 100% for heating period except increase in energy or not effective in some orientation, and reduce the annual energy consumption and CO₂ emissions was from 18% to 63.3% according to location and orientation
