Abstract :
Balcony greening have the ecological effects on reducing temperature and increasing humidity,purifying air and beautifying environment etc. Combined the experiments with simulation, by figuring out the potency of reducing temperature and increasing humidity of balcony greening on indoor thermal environment, the correctness of the model was verified. The results show that the temperature of the greening room is about 0.4 °C lower than the non-greening room, and the relative humidity of the greening room is 1%-2% higher than the non-greening room. What´s more, the relative error of temperature and relative humidity is 0.3% and 8% respectively. All the research loads a strong foundation on optimizing environment of room.
