2.3.7 Benefits There are various benefits of green wall and green roof:       

Reduces Heat Island Effect. Reduces energy consumption Reduces the heat gain by the surface and keeps the space below cool Energy efficiency Reduces storm water runoff Reduces air pollution as well as noise pollution It helps in preservation of rare species of plants and green roof may form its own ecosystem

The emerging megacities have influenced the ecosystem and the urban environment at a very large scale. The Heat Island Effect caused by the diminishing of green areas and more and more man-made surroundings such as buildings, roads, etc. The shortage of lands tends the design ideas to convert to verticality. All the buildings today are generally categorized as High-Rise buildings. The growing population hinders the availability of land for a lavish foreground landscape design. Other countries had established well with these landscape techniques to reduce the energy efficiency of the building. India somewhat does not have any of the high-rise building which incorporates landscape techniques. Since in a high-rise building the space which can be used for landscaping is walls, roofs and sometimes balconies, so all the techniques are related to them. This dissertation deals with the analysis of these landscape techniques in high-rise office buildings on the basis of specified climate.
