In the past few decades, the issue of environmental quality in the urban environment is a recurring theme. Green walls and roofs have demonstrated great efficiency in the attenuation of adverse effects such as heat islands. The thermal characterization of these systems are well studied, however few studies have been carried out on their acoustic potential. The characterization of the acoustic performance of green walls may provide better results for the acoustic simulation of urban environments where such elements are employed. This paper presents experimental results of the sound absorption and insulation tests for a modular system of vegetable panels. Each module was composed of a baseplate equipped with geotextile bags in which was inserted the substrate and grown the plant. Absorption tests were conducted in a reverberation room. Facade insulation tests were performed with the samples placed on a concrete block facade of a small building. Results showed a significant increase of sound absorption coeff...
