Green wall system has been gaining popularity around the world. Although it is typically installed indoor, outdoor installation is not uncommon. The benefit of a green wall system is not limited to its high aesthetic value. It helps in regulating indoor temperature, which in turns, saves energy. It is also believed that it improves the well-being of people around. However, installation of green wall system often comes with high cost, depending on the design and equipment needed in the system. Due to the need of soil to grow the greeneries causes the entire system to be heavy and makes it more difficult to work with. Its removal may be tedious and expensive too. Hence, this project is aimed to make use of polyurethane foams for green wall construction. This method simplifies installation and possibly reduces the cost of green wall construction system without the need of soil.
