Green wall design study in climatic zones of Iran: a comparison study of Iran climatic zones with the studies of using Green wall in similar climatic situation of the world

World has been developed during the last century in a rush and the results were harmful globalwarming and increasing pollution which affects human lives and earth as well. Efforts andexperimental issues tried to find solution which leads to sustainable development that Greenfacades including Green walls are one of its factors.
