Wind tunnel analysis of artificial substrates used in active living walls for indoor environment conditioning in Mediterranean buildings.

In this paper, a low-speed wind tunnel was used for experimental analysis of water volume retained, pressure drop, saturation efficiency and water consumption for three types of synthetic substrates used in active living walls: polyester (PR), polyurethane (PU) and polyamideepolypropylene (PAePP) Th...
