SYNOPSIS
The latest technology of structural media to be presented here is a smart water management system with optimum mix of air and water to ensure perfect plant growth. Together with automatic irrigation, it provides minimum maintenance and enables the reuse of rainwater or treated storm water for vertical and rooftop greenery.
• Further technology employed includes a sensor to monitor the moist content which can be access thru smart devices from the comfort of your home. • Alternatively the system can be engineered as greywater treatment for non-potable use in washing car and flushing. • The re-cycled water is best used for gardening and greening the city with landscapes, green roofs and green walls or eventually urban farming in order to conserve potable water. • By selecting the right plant species, green roofs and vertical walls can be doubled up to become an organic greywater treatment system to treat effluents from laundry and domestic discharges. • Energy saving is indirectly resulted by having these green roofs and vertical gardens to cool down the building and lower the ambient temperature. • The presentation will finish with a description of the technologies and case studies promoted by Ecoclean using a soilless vertical garden system powered by a patented technology called Vydro Substrate.
