Abstract

The environment plays a vital role in sustaining human life on Earth. In urban contexts, where concrete jungles often dominate the landscape, there's a growing recognition of the need to harmonize human habitation with nature. Integrated greenery facades have emerged as a promising solution to strike this balance, offering a range of positive effects on the urban environment and its inhabitants. Urbanisation, deforestation, and the construction of buildings with minimal green spaces contribute to a reduction in the number of plants in many areas. This can lead to degraded air quality, increased levels of pollutants, and a loss of the natural mechanisms that help maintain a healthy atmosphere. With an emphasis on carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels, this study aims to measure and analyse the difference of indoor air quality in between spaces in Tamarind Square. This research employs a Delta OHM device as a robust methodology, offering a comprehensive and continuous monitoring approach. Due to that, it offers practical insights to improve air quality and support sustainable urban development practises, as well as advice for the best way to design, install, and maintain integrated greenery facades.
