Improve Building Performance

Traditional approaches to air purification in a building often involve increasing ventilation to dilute indoor pollutants and improve air circulation. This process requires significant energy to heat or cool and treat the incoming air, leading to higher operational costs. In contrast, living wall biofilters clean and circulate the air within the building by absorbing and breaking down pollutants, reducing the need for additional ventilation and the associated energy consumption. This not only leads to a healthier indoor environment but also results in lower ventilation requirements and operational costs for buildings.

Green design plays a key role in achieving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets. By focusing on increased biodiversity, sustainable materials, and reduced energy consumption, different green infrastructure features can minimize a company’s environmental footprint. Additionally, it can improve employee well-being through a connection to nature and even improve air quality with the case of a biofilter living wall, aligning with the social aspect of ESG. Governance-wise, implementing green architecture demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, potentially enhancing a company’s reputation and appealing to stakeholders interested in eco-friendly practices.

We make an effort to design our projects to be as low-maintenance as possible while still meeting the aesthetic goals of our clients. We reduce the need for soil – thereby lowering the risk of pests – in as many projects as possible, opting for hydroponic growing methods instead. We also offer integrated sensors and increased technology measures in order to be able to monitor and proactively handle maintenance requirements where needed. Maintenance requirements will vary based on the type of project you are installing. Where an exterior facade may only need bi-annual visits for maintenance, our typical living wall installations require maintenance visits every 1-2 months.
