The green curtains are characterized as solar control devices, where climbing vegetation develops, aided by supporters in front and away from the vertical surfaces of the building. The capacity of the vegetation to provide shade to the facade will depend on the density of the foliage, when appropriately designed, can reflect positively on the energy efficiency of the building. The purpose of this article is to verify the two climbing plants species capacity of shading on the building: Wisteria floribunda and Campsis grandiflora, suitable for application in solar control systems like the green curtain to the Brazilian subtropical climate, noting the Percentage of Solar Transmission (PST) of these foliage throughout the different seasons. This study is part of this author doctoral thesis, which is ongoing, and the results presented in this article are still partial. The method used in this search is characterized as exploratory and experimental, as it is based on the construction of a prototype field where the climbing plants species were planted and evaluated by photographs. The images obtained were treated on site with support of Adobe Photoshop© software, separating full areas (foliage) between empty areas, and finally calculated the PST in a 1.0 m² area of plants. The results showed a significant variation in density of climbing plants foliage throughout the seasons, whereas deciduous species, with PST’s values maximum in winter and
