Exclusive Dual Preservation Process

Our department dedicated to Biophilic Design research has engineered an advanced Dual Preservation process to overcome market limitations. Depending on the specific plant morphology, the natural sap is replaced using solutions based on mineral salts or 100% ecological glycerin.

  • Adaptive Formula: Selective use of salts or glycerin based on the botanical species to maximize technical performance.
  • Extreme Longevity: The dual cycle prevents premature drying, keeping chromatic vividness unaltered.
  • Natural Manufacturing: Total preservation of the original tactile softness on a product entirely processed and assembled by hand.

Fire Classification (UNI EN 13501-1) and Safety

Our vegetal systems are designed for public buildings, hospitality, and the strict specifications of the Contract sector. We have obtained the prestigious B-s2, d0 Fire Reaction Classification. Official tests were conducted by Istituto Giordano S.p.A.

  • Class B-s2, d0: Guarantee of a very low contribution to fire and total absence of flaming droplets or particles ("d0").
  • Rigorous Regulatory Tests: The modules successfully passed the UNI EN ISO 11925-2:2010 and UNI EN 13823:2014 tests.
  • Contract Application: System validated for installation on certified substrates, suitable for escape routes.

APPLIED MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH

Biophilic Design Research against Sick Building Syndrome.

Green Habitat patents, the result of continuous Biophilic Design research, have been the subject of an extensive scientific validation program funded by the European Union (Urban Green Train Project). The experiments were conducted in real-world environments (test chambers) set up simultaneously at the Department of Agricultural Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering of the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, and the CNR Laboratories. The data certify our systems as active biological filters capable of revolutionizing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).

PM2.5 and PM1 Reduction

Multidisciplinary tests confirm that the patented foliar architecture acts as a highly efficient biofilter. In just 4 days of environmental monitoring, the modules reduced PM10 by 26% and eliminated up to 69% of the most dangerous fine particles (PM2.5 and PM1).

ZERO

Formaldehyde Elimination

In addition to certifying the total absence of Volatile Organic Compound emissions (Zero VOC) in our materials, chemical measurements demonstrate the complete elimination of environmental formaldehyde in a 10-15 day bio-absorption cycle.

56%

Hygrometric Self-Regulation

Thermodynamic measurements conducted in various departments prove that our walls self-regulate room humidity to the optimal physiological value of 56% (±10%), preventing mucosal dryness caused by artificial air conditioning.

Low-Frequency Acoustic Barrier: Joint tests in university laboratories have further certified the effectiveness of the acoustic insulation of our infrastructures. High efficiency was recorded against low frequencies (50-1000Hz), ideal for neutralizing noise pollution from external vehicular traffic.

Acoustic Engineering: The Shield Against the Lombard Effect

In open-plan offices, background noise triggers a harmful vocal escalation known in acoustics as the Lombard Effect. As highlighted by independent laboratory tests on preserved moss systems, the complex botanical macroporosity provides excellent sound absorption (thermal exchange and viscous dissipation), essential for occupational well-being.

  • Peak absorption in human voice frequencies (1000 - 4000 Hz).
  • Damping of horizontal tangential reverberations.
  • Passive element for acoustic treatment with no plumbing required.
Documented Absorption Coefficient up to 0.96*
*Average peaks (AW/NRC) measured in centers of excellence on premium, high-thickness configurations (e.g., Pole Moss).

B2B Real Estate: ESG Compliance and Asset ROI

Our Biophilic Design research translates into a strategic financial asset. Indoor greenery facilitates the acquisition of credits for LEED, WELL, and BREEAM certifications. According to industry economic literature, these interventions generate a measurable impact on operational cash flows.

  • Potential increase in rental yields (Premium Price).
  • Retail: Studies indicate an extension of dwell time.
  • Preserved greenery infrastructures with zero-maintenance operational costs (OPEX).
Estimated Industry Financial ROI up to 828%*
*Aggregated 5-year estimate according to independent biophilic economy reports (e.g., Terrapin Bright Green).

The Excellence of Biophilic Design Research for the Corporate Market

The Green Habitat R&D department is at the forefront of developing vegetal infrastructures for interior architecture. The entire spectrum of our Biophilic Design research aims to bridge the gap between the need for aesthetically prestigious spaces and the urgency for certified technical performance. Through the use of patented Preserved Greenery and active hydroponic walls (such as the Wall Green Habitat Hydro), we provide architects and facility managers with tools capable of reducing indoor pollution, achieving drastic reverberation reduction (RT60), and complying with the strictest fire safety protocols.

The data supporting our installations derives from international academic literature. The application of the principles emerging from Biophilic Design research translates into a measurable increase in staff productivity, a reduction in absenteeism, and an increase in real estate asset value, facilitating the achievement of international certifications such as LEED, WELL, and BREEAM.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Architects

The technical answers from our Biophilic Design research department to the most common questions during the B2B specification and design phase.

Does preserved greenery require irrigation or natural light?
Absolutely not. The preservation process engineered by our laboratories replaces the natural sap with an ecological mixture (glycerin or mineral salts). This crystallizes the vegetative state, guaranteeing a Zero OPEX system: no need for water, plumbing, soil, pruning, or phytostimulant lighting.
What is the difference between the Hydro system and preserved greenery?
The Wall Green Habitat Hydro® is an outdoor/indoor living wall system with a hydroponic substrate and automated irrigation, designed to act as a bio-reactor (CO2 absorption and heat island reduction). Preserved Greenery, on the other hand, is a 100% natural but preserved solution, ideal for interiors where zero maintenance and maximum sound absorption are required.
Are your systems suitable for escape routes and hospitals?
Yes. Our preserved moss line has passed the tests of the Istituto Giordano, obtaining the Fire Reaction Classification B-s2, d0. Furthermore, being a Zero VOC material (no chemical emissions), it is suitable for installation in environments with very strict health controls (such as the Niguarda Hospital) and along the escape routes of hotels and offices.
What are the weights and structural loads for installation?
The indoor preserved greenery systems have been engineered and lightened to the extreme during the R&D phase: the weight starts from only 4 kg per square meter (including support panels), making them applicable without structural calculations on any surface, including light partition walls, furniture, and standard plasterboard. For outdoor Hydro systems, our technical department provides detailed load charts for both dry and fully saturated conditions.
