A study of design and maintenance for indoor garden / Izzareffandy Radzuan

Earth is like greenhouse, ozone layer is it glass. This ozone layer is now more thicker because effect from human activities and industries activities, this will provide more carbon monoxide and dioxide in the air and reducing all oxygen in atmosphere. Ozone layer is contain lots of oxygen gases is now reduce day after day, this will source of global warming, sun radiation is unprotected by ozone layer and human activity at earth surface now became a treat to our planet. Global warming will raised up temperature in atmosphere and melt all ice in pole, raising sea level. This situation can be avoid by reducing carbon monoxide and dioxide in atmosphere and cleaning by planting more plants by changing carbon dioxide into oxygen, but human do opposite thing, they prefer to cut down all trees to be developing more building and providing more pollution to this planet. This issue can be seen in small scale, building. Inside building, there are many gases and dust we cannot see, are safe now inside building. Human need oxygen to breath, when human insufficient oxygen, human became unhealthy and this situation called building sick syndrome. Ventilation in building most important for air inside building can be recycle, unwanted gases can be change to oxygen, so occupant be more healthy, because oxygen is most important thing for human and affect all human activities. Dust inside building and unwanted gases is unhealthy for human can be clean using services like AHU and HVAC system that recycling air inside building, but there is another option for building owner, by installing indoor garden. Trees also have a problem when plant near the structure, root beneath soil can penetrate and damaging all substructure, then will affect strength of building foundation that holding building upper structure. All problems can be solve if use wisely thinking, avoiding use taproots trees or use only shrubs nears structure is one of solution of this problem, but if want use this kind of trees, installing root barrier is important to avoid problem in future.
