Living Wall Biofilters: Growing Clean Air and Energy Savings

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

At first glance, a living wall biofilter appears as a vertical, hydroponic green wall of plants. However, it is an active filtration system that is an integrated part of the air-handling system for a building. This course explains how living wall biofilters improve indoor air quality, enhance building performance, and create healthier, more pleasant indoor environments.

Prerequisites: No

Course Level: Introductory

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss how living wall biofilters improve the aesthetics and the physical environments of the facilities in which they are installed, and how they affect the health and well-being of the occupants.
  • Explain how living wall biofilters remove common indoor contaminants through biological processes and deliver cleansed air into interior spaces.
  • Discuss the impact living wall biofilters have on building performance and energy costs compared to traditional air-handling systems. Summarize the design considerations and construction of living wall biofilters.
  • Explain how living wall biofilter technology can be used to meet ASHRAE 62.1 IAQP and may help a building project achieve LEED®, WELL®, or Passive House certification.
