Résumé

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an increasing concern in residential construction, particularly homes that are consciously designed for high efficiency. The IAQ problem occurs because efficient homes tend to be air tight, but without adequate exchange of outside air pollutants such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) can achieve concentrations that are higher than desired. Biowalls’ are an innovative technology for addressing IAQ concerns by using the natural ability of plants to remove airborne contaminants. This paper summarizes Biowall research that was conducted in a research home located in the Midwest with a particular emphasis on aesthetic considerations. It is difficult to find plants that thrive in a Biowall environment. A study identifying varying species of plants which will survive in this environment enhances the Biowall designer’s ability to add a variety of colors, textures, and sizes to plant trays and achieve a presentation that is appealing for a Biowall owner.
