In regard to the increase in risk of war and aggression in today's world specially Iran's specific position in current time, using principles of passive defense in buildings is inevitable. On the other hand, every day we are facing problems in the world and our country Iran due to lack of energy.
In this article attempts have been made to consider these two important factors, which our country is facing by studying the issue of green view topic. In this regard, walls and green views, are not only important  to conserve energy and reduce negative effects of buildings on the environment but they also play a significant role  from the perspectives of passive defense and such principles as camouflage, concealment and deception.
The information collected in this article is taken from library research methods and valid sources on the Internet. In this regard, at first the principles of passive defense and the buildings that have been designed according to these principles, have been studied, then the effects of blast effects and e waves on surroundings were investigated and the results have been collected and analyzed and the assumption of using green wall as a solution for the purpose of   reducing energy has been provided and examined.
According to the achieved information, green view, in addition to its many benefits in energy debate, has some benefits in the field of passive defense too, such as integration of spaces, shaping buildings, absorbing infrared and, electrical waves and control of blast wave, as well.
