Especially in the current trend of energy saving and environmental protection, how to design an outer wall system that integrates ecology, energy saving and intelligent management has become a major issue in the field of building.
[0003] At present, although the outer wall greening as an important part of green building has been widely used, but the existing outer wall greening system still has many problems. Most of the traditional outer wall greening system adopts fixed planting pot arrangement, which makes the plants in the green belt unable to be adjusted flexibly according to the season, climate and light conditions. Therefore, the growth environment of the plants may not meet their best growth needs, affecting the survival rate and growth efficiency of the plants. In addition, the traditional greening system usually lacks automatic management means, and the daily maintenance work such as irrigation and fertilization of the plants mostly depends on manual completion, resulting in high labor cost and operation difficulty, and it is difficult to realize precise environmental control, leading to resource waste and management inconvenience. In addition to the above problems, the existing outer wall greening system also faces challenges in energy saving and energy management. Although the outer wall greening can improve the heat insulation effect of the building to a certain extent and reduce the air conditioning load, it cannot fully utilize renewable energy such as solar energy, resulting in the inability to achieve energy self-sufficiency and still needs to rely on external energy supply. In addition, the traditional greening system lacks rainwater collection and intelligent irrigation function, and the water resource utilization efficiency is low, often causing water waste.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, a new type of outer wall greening system is needed, which can combine plant planting, energy collection and intelligent management, has flexibility, high efficiency and sustainability, can not only improve the ecological benefits of the building and reduce the operating cost, but also can provide green energy and intelligent management support for the building.
