Abstract

This paper reports on the development of an organic air cleaner (OAC), an interior architectural element that optimises plants’ CO₂ absorption in nonventilated air-conditioned rooms. Sansevieria trifasciata, Dracaena sanderiana, Scindapsus aureus and Syngonium podophyllum were explored. Two methods were adopted: the plants’ CO₂ uptake was measured, and the results were used for the computer simulation inputs. An OAC works automatically by exposing the plants to indoor or outdoor air when the plants are in, consecutively, CO₂ absorbtion or emission phase. Computer simulations found that the most efficient placement for OACs to absorb CO₂ is to put them far from ACs.

摘要

本文报道了有机空气净化器 (OAC) 的开发，这是一种室内建筑元素，可优化植物在不通风的空调房间中的 CO _2吸收。探索了Sansevieria trifasciata、Dracaena sanderiana、Scindapsus aureus 和 Syngonium podophyllum。采用了两种方法：测量植物的 CO ₂吸收量，并将结果用于计算机模拟输入。_{当植物连续处于 CO 2}吸收或排放阶段时，OAC 通过将植物暴露于室内或室外空气而自动工作。计算机模拟发现，OAC 吸收 CO ₂的最有效位置是将它们远离 AC。
