“…1b. The test chamber of the second cycle coding of the laboratory method is a sealed glass chamber Sowa et al, 2019;Pettit et al, 2017;Pettit et al, 2018), a mini box with less than 1 m 3 space (Libessart & Kenai, 2018) or a real space (Moya et al, 2021). The principle works by continuously flowing the test chamber with certain variables, then comparing the measurement results with and without plants.…”

Biowall is one of the several innovative strategies people use to build a comfortable interior atmosphere with living plants. This research attempts to trace the gaps in the previous analysis as a 'state of the art' with a literature review method by focusing on the biowall method, area ratio and types of plants. Biowall performance is mainly related to the influence of thermal, visual, audial, and respiratory comfort. It is an essential topic used to induce atmospheric interiors, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, sound insulation and absorption, CO2, HCHO, VOC, and particulate levels. The results showed that the empirical methods used were actual scale-up and down experiments, laboratories in test chambers, simulation with specific software, and case research on in-situ biowall. The comparison between the biowall and room size varied significantly due to the absence of a legal basis and reasons. Ferns and succulents were the most widely used species to induce atmospheric comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research on biowall physical comfort based on multisensory simultaneously and determine its standard dimension and digital integration. Subsequent researchers must further discuss home-scale biowall acceleration and utilization of food-medicinal plants.

<p>Biowalls are a new phenomenon in interior urban areas, which has proven to contribute positively to sensory comfort. But people use biowalls in different dimensions. Based on field facts, determining the biowall dimensions for human sensory comfort has not emphasized clear principles. The research aims to obtain the effective area of a biowall inducing sensory comfort comprehensively and simultaneously in tropical landed dwellings. Therefore, this study used the experimental method to extract the effective areas of the biowall to generate thermal, audial, visual, and respiratory comfort. The analysis was mathematically conducted through polynomial quadratic equations and directly or inversely proportional to the overall value regarding a generalization attempt. The variables measured included temperature, humidity, surface temperature, reverberation time, noise reduction, illuminance, luminance, and colour mapping, as well as levels of CO2, TVOC, HCHO, and PM2.5. The result showed that biowall effective area inducing thermal, audial, visual, and respiratory comfort for a (3000 x 3000 x 2500) mm3 room was 2.5 modules or 12.5 m2 leaf area. This value was able to provide an increase in the sensory comfort level for the thermal, audial, visual, and respiratory variables by 59.22 %, 76.64 %, 32.35 %, and 98.88 %, respectively.</p>

“…The air supply rate of the test chambers was fixed at 62 m 3 /h to maintain an air velocity of 1.3 m/s in each flexible duct (with a diameter of 0.125 m), resulting in an airflow similar to a previous study. 27 The airflow pattern inside the test chamber was determined using CFD simulation. OpenFOAM’s 28 buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver was used to conduct a steady-state RANS simulation.…”

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important aspect of maintaining human health and well-being, particularly since people spend most of their time indoors. Carpets, with their large surface area and dense fibre piles, have the potential to significantly impact IAQ by emitting and absorbing volatile organic compounds (VOC) from building materials and human activities. The cleaning effect of wool carpets regarding the sorption of odours from two sources of pollution: hardboard and sweaty underwear (as a proxy for bio-effluents), was investigated with an untrained panel of subjects assessing the odour intensity and the acceptability. Tests were performed in three different test environments, including a sniffing table, CLIMPAQs, and full-scale test chambers. The outcome showed that wool carpets can potentially clean the air of odours in small-scale environments, where the wool carpet covers the floor and walls of the test environment, and the odour sources are in contact with the wool carpet. However, the results were less conclusive in on scale scenarios where wool carpets only covered the floor. Overall, wool carpets have the potential to ad(b)sorb odorous emissions, but only when these emissions are near the wool carpet, and thus can have the opportunity to be ad(b)sorbed.
