Specify the problem you are trying to solve: 

aeroSQAIR integrates nature into urban spaces.

Indoor air pollution is becoming an ever-increasing problem. Because we spend over two-thirds of our day indoors, we need adapted solutions to recycle stale air and make for more imaginative and vivid environments. Moss panels by aeroSQAIR are a bio-technical design solution that not only cleans air but integrates living nature into urban spaces.

For the pilot project, aeroSQAIR will install panels in Vienna’s deepest underground metro station. A specially selected moss species will filter fine dust and heavy metals that enter the air through rail- and break-abrasion. Low-energy lighting and an automated watering system will generate ideal growing conditions even in this trying surrounding.

Describe your proposed solution:

aeroSQAIR only keeps the necessary technical periphery. At the heart of the panel is a specifically selected moss species that cleans air at highest effectiveness. Irradiated by efficient LED-lighting, the moss is connected to a self-regulating fresh-water-system. This saves water while generating ideal growing conditions. Air exchange happens through ventilators on the bottom of the panels. Stale air is sucked in, naturally cleaned and distributed out the top side. Through sensory measurement the panel-system gives constant feedback on the indoor climate.
