Mitigating Air Pollution in Indian Cities with the Use of Bio Facades

Abstract

Abstract: Today, the biggest issues facing the planet are air pollution and, as a result, global warming. These problems may affect the climate, human health. To mitigate air pollution frequently concentrate on reducing the sources of the pollutants. This approach can significantly lower the amount of new air pollutants, but it has little impact on the air's already-existing contaminants. By recognizing the current situation, this study seeks to limit the level of harm to humans by regulating air pollution through municipal engineering, facade structures, and architectural design. The air quality of the urban environment can be significantly influenced by the façades of buildings. The ability of nature to manage air pollution has been used to the realm of architecture. Therefore, this study compares three different forms of bio-façades (namely, Water façade, Green façade, and Microalgae) by utilizing nature's capacity to manage carbon dioxide. These facades do not harm human health and do not require any special technology. . Then, after identifying the aforementioned biological façade kinds, we compared their strength and weaknesses, cost, environmental stability and chose the best one. Which façade system is best according to Delhi and luck now’s air pollution condition. Purpose: The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of how can we improve air quality and reduce pollutants with the help of bio facade.
