IoT based Smart Biowall to Improve and Monitor Indoor Air Quality and Prevent Diseases for Crowded Spaced

Project Title

IoT based Smart Biowall to Improve and Monitor Indoor Air Quality and Prevent Diseases for Crowded Spaced

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Sitting too long increases risk of chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Too much sitting can also be bad for your mental health as indoor environment is 10 times more polluted compared to outdoor air quality.

The main objective of this project is to design, demonstrate, and monitor the Bio wall for improving indoor air quality for confined crowded placed such (Hospitals, Offices, Airports, Gyms, Educational Institutes, Hotels & Restaurants, Shopping Malls, Praying Areas), also provide complete IoT Based solution to maintain temperature and monitor the indoor environment for all building occupant and visitors. Also, identify the best plants combination for bio wall to reduce indoor Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects.

Project Objectives

  

1. To identify the best plants combination for bio wall to reduce toxicity.
2. To develop an IoT based system to measure and monitor the air quality of confined spaces and generate alerts.
3. To investigate the reduction in VOCs and toxicity after Biowall confined spaced.

Project Implementation Method Methodology

Summary:

• Plant selection.
• Construction of Bio wall as per room requirements and the number of users.
• Installed IoT based sensors for operation and monitoring VOCs and smart irrigation systems.
• Experimental study with and without Bio wall for comparison and data analysis.
• Data Analysis and VOCs evaluation and improvement in Bio wall to enhance efficiency.
• Final testing on improved Biowall.
• Conclusion and recommendation based on Analysis and experimental study.

    Benefits of the Project

•The Bio wall will reduce the VOCs level highly which is depends on the temperature, humidity, ventilation and area of the room.

•Offices, Homes or Public buildings of the future could have cleaner air and lower energy bills and Bio Wall innovation involves the use of a living wall of air-cleaning plants.

•Plants can cut your energy bill by reducing heat loss by 30% Bio wall Keeps environment cool.

•Green walls can also help lower the air temperature around intake valves, which means air conditioning units will require less energy to cool the air before being circulated indoors.

•Biowall help improve air quality and reduce noise pollution within the home.

•Air that has been circulated throughout an area with a strategically placed green wall will be cleaner than that on an uncovered building.

•The indoor plants help to remove nasty airborne pollutants. Urban greenery can block out high-frequency noises, making vertical gardens a great option for inner-city dwellings.

•With the strategic placement of Bio wall, indoor plants can break vertical airflow, which slows and cools down the air.

•Bio-wall may reduce temperature, dampness, moisture and noise control of space.

•A smart automated unmanned Bio wall required less maintenance due to IoT based sensors and a smart irrigation system.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• A smart automated unmanned Bio wall  which can  remove toxic gases and VOCs from indoor environment which is 10 times more polluted compared to outdoor air quality.
• Smart Bio wall  will reduce the toxic gases emitted by building material and human bodies.
• Bio wall will reduce resist CO2, Methane CH4, Carbon Monoxide CO, etc which can cause diseases and make indoor environment harmful.
• Bio wall will provide bacteria free atmosphere naturally. 
• Design Bio wall required low maintenance due to IoT based operation and monitoring system.
