Green technology: assessing the potential of green wall development in Malaysia / Farah Najlaa Zulkiffli

Green wall is one of the green technology that applied to the building to helps improve to better environment. Green wall consist of plants that grown in supported vertical systems that generally attached to an internal or external wall. Green wall become one of the key to improve urban environment...
