How to model a green facade in DesignBuilder

Hi everyone,

I am looking for an example of how to model a green facade in DesignBuilder. I found an example close to this ''Green roof"; however, an earlier post in this forum suggests that this model is not suitable for high-sloped exterior surfaces: https://unmethours.com/question/30550/can-we-use-green-roof-module-for-vertical-garden-simualtion/

I was wondering if there is an existing solution or workaround available now. Any suggestions on other solutions on other modelling softwares which have interoperability with DesignBuilder are also welcome as I am modelling the HVAC systems there.

Best,

Debayan
