Green walls provide a turnkey green solution for cities around the world that promise to redefine urban living by turning concrete jungles into green city oases. The smart skin is a medium for hydroponic planting and is a sustainable solution for advanced green living. Redesigning the scope of landscape applications, green walls are challenged by several factors. Environmental factors that affect green walls are numerous, such as geographical location, temperatures, seasons and water quality play critical roles that may affect a plants physiology. It was due to these uncontrolled factors that smart systems have been introduced to be the command centre for alarm signal interpretation.

      OUR PROCESS

      From Concept to Completion: The Art and Science of Smart Green Wall Installation

      SITE ASSESSMENT & PREPARATION

      The process of green wall installation starts by studying detailed drawings provided by clients for location and technical analysis. A team of specialists with a wide array of disciplines that includes agricultural engineers, landscape architects, mechatronic specialists, and botanists combine their skills to execute each project. Thorough studies are conducted, taking into consideration factors such as environmental conditions, which specifies skin selection. Location, which determines plant varieties and selection (indoor/outdoor local plants)). Water supply, water quality, drain points, mechanical and structural details, sensors, client requirements, and lighting conditions are all factors to be considered during the technical assessment. Once complete, a file is submitted to the client for approval.

      FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

      Unlock quick insights about our offerings in our FAQ section.
      HOW MUCH WATER DOES THE GREEN WALL CONSUME PER SQUARE METER?

      This varies according to climate and types of plants but as a general guideline, we would say between 1 to 13 lit/sqm/day

      WHAT TYPE OF PLANTS CAN I GROW?

      A wide variety of outdoor plants are grown on Green Studios skin, from grasses, ground covers, flowering plants, ferns, shrubs, succulent plants, trees and vegetables. High-quality indoor plants are often imported from Holland. Plants are continuously tested in our Research & Development station for a larger palette.

      HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED A MAINTENANCE VISIT?

      For indoor green walls, a maintenance visit is required every 2 months. Outdoor living walls usually require a visit once a month during growing season. Maintenance includes trimming, cleaning leaves and spraying plants with pesticides. Filters are cleaned and fertilizer tanks refilled on a scheduled basis.

      WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GREEN WALL IF WATER OR ELECTRICITY IS CUT OFF?

      Plants growing on a vertical wall in hot environments cannot survive water shortage. They will wilt and eventually die if not irrigated. In the event of electrical or water failure, a sound alarm on the smart board controller sends an alert. There will be an SMS notification or an alarm to the building monitoring systems that will encourage action. Our technical support team is available to assist the maintenance team on-site and ensure the issue is resolved.

      DOES THE LIVING WALL HAVE ANY INSECTS?

      Naturally, insects exist in outdoor landscapes and are treated with preventative pesticides that are sprayed during frequent maintenance visits. Highly toxic pesticides are not used since it is not required for ornamental plants. However, outdoor green walls that do have many flowering plants attract insects such as bees.

      DOES THE GREEN WALL RELEASE ANY ODORS?

      Well maintained and healthy green walls do not release any odors, in fact, they expunge the air of toxic gases. Some outdoor herbs release aromatic aromas and are capable of growing on green walls. In cases where the drain channel is not sloped properly and water is stagnant, it is only natural for an odor to be released. Our team of engineers ensures this issue does not occur, due to critical site supervision.

      WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE CLIENT?

      Water supply and data connections from technical unit to desired green wall location. Electrical supply at the technical unit. Drain point for green wall gutter/channel

      WHY DO INDOOR PLANTS NEED ARTIFICIAL LIGHT?

      Since plants require natural light for the natural photosynthetic process, in indoor environments, artificial light provides plants with enough to sustain healthy growth. In addition, it is always recommended to embellish a piece of art with subtle lights to provide an ambient tone.
