Buildings fire prevention and protection requirements concern the personal safety of the occupants including the protection of material values and are the basic issues addressed by building regulations. How the material reacts in a fire and/or their fire resistances are two factors for choosing a building material and way the material is implemented and used to provide the required level of passive fire protection. Environmental and aesthetic benefits provided by Green Living Walls are known from numerous researches but we still lack on the national guideline, code or standard concerning Green Living Wall systems in Serbia. Properly designed, installed and maintained Green Living Walls should prevent a potential fire hazard. This review paper identifies reports, studies, guidelines, and standards concerning fire risk introduced by specific Green Living Wall system design elements.
