Don't overlook natures
energy technology...
New research indicates that Houseplants can
play a critical role in lowering energy cost. Modern offices with central heat
and air and computers, produce a dry atmosphere. Houseplants cool by a
process called transpiration. In an office environment, Houseplants absorb heat
and release moisture, creating a humidity level exactly matching the recommended
human comfort range of 30 to 60 %. According to the US dept of
Agriculture, houseplants are also able to decrease air temperature by as
much as 10%.
When office air humidity falls
below the recommended range, material such as wood, can become cracked. When office air
humidity exceeds this range, condensation on windows and exterior walls can cause
structural damage. By keeping office air humidity levels within the proper
comfort range, Houseplants can help you avoid costly repairs.
Houseplants are a must for any company seeking a GREEN BUILDING solution.
