Table 6 Questionnaire questions were relied on in the survey study
From: Employing systems of green walls to improve performance and rationalize energy in buildings
No. | Question about | Survey question |
|---|---|---|
1 | Aim | The components of the framework support the goal of improving the environmental and thermal performance of building envelopes. |
2 | Stages | The seven stages of this framework are sufficient to produce a suitable green wall system. |
3 | Evaluation | The role of the stage of evaluation of the selected system performance is to predict the full performance ability of this live system based on five axes and support the life cycle of the studied green wall system. |
4 | Support | The framework works on adjusting and developing the life of the green wall system that the study is working on to be the most suitable. Or the framework supports these systems with a certain percentage. |
5 | Integration | The framework supports the integration with the building, especially in the second stage, after checking via the fourth stage (the stage of evaluation) to realize the environmental and sustainable concept and improve the thermal performance. |
6 | Green value | This framework reflects sustainability and green value to be more suitable for the buildings that will be applied to and to have an influential role in reducing energy consumption and achieving heat comfort. |
7 | Conceptual | This framework develops the conceptual design toward improving thermal performance, reducing energy consumption, and achieving heat comfort. |
8 | Mechanism | These stages are considered a logical sequence of the framework for dealing with these environmental treatments, which are considered sustainable design treatments that are environmentally friendly and support the thought, concept, and trends of sustainability. |
9 | Design | The effectiveness of the devised and proposed framework in this study comes from its reliance on design considerations. As well as the technical features and elements of such systems and indicators of the three aspects of sustainability. |
