Abstract	Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is a densely populated city where urban development largely ignores the concept of greenery, resulting in adverse environmental impacts. As a result, the city is experiencing higher temperatures, poor air quality, biodiversity loss, and limited horizontal green spaces. This study examines the potential of integrating Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) louvers with Vertical Green Systems as a sustainable solution for tropical climates. This paper explores a six-story local office building, designed with the involvement of one of the authors, which has a west-facing orientation and regularly receives solar radiation. Integrating these techniques successfully reduces the environmental impact and promotes habitats for urban fauna and users’ well-being. Based on frequent observations, the paper highlights the benefits and offers recommendations for future design practices.
