A test site for testing green facade components is operated since spring 2021. Test samples differ in shape, arrangement of functional layers, water distribution means and irrigation patterns. The article presents and discusses measured data at selected test samples during growing season in year 2021. Physical quantities, such as surface temperature of plants, moisture content and matric potential of growing substrate, water inflow and outflow, and ambient boundary conditions, were recorded.</p> ER -
