Use of the green roof model for green walls?

Hello everybody, I'm wondering whether I can apply the green roof model in EnergyPlus for modelling green walls as well. In the reference guide, it is mentioned that the model is not recommended for walls, but I do not quite understand the reason. In which way should the model for green walls be different from the model für green roofs? Thanks for your help and best regards!
