Hi there! I need to develop research project: Behavior of green walls in thermal/energy calculations.. I'd like to ask if anyone knows the possibility to study this with the features of design builder, considering that as far as i know, water consumption is not pretty reliable... Still it wuold be really interesting to study the thermal properties Thanks!

@Mauro Manca according to EnergyPlus documentation, using the green roof module for walls is not recommended (if you didn't know, DesignBuilder is an EnergyPlus interface). You can read this post for reference.
