Innovative Liquid Tree System for Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: A Sustainable Design Approach

Abstract

In pursuing innovative and sustainable interior design solutions, our research introduces the concept of a "liquid tree" as an alternative to traditional vegetation implementation in an interior room. This study explores developing and implementing a liquid tree system to enhance indoor air quality by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and producing oxygen (O2). The liquid tree integrates a water flow system and advanced sensors to monitor and optimize CO2 absorption and O2 production capacities. The system consists of a transparent container filled with a specially formulated liquid that supports the growth of microalgae, known for their high photosynthetic efficiency. The container is also equipped with a water flow system to ensure constant motion and optimal conditions for the microalgae. Additionally, sensors continuously monitor CO2 and O2 levels. Our findings demonstrate the liquid tree's potential to significantly improve indoor air quality, offering a viable and aesthetically pleasing solution for modern interior environments. The implications of this research suggest a promising avenue for sustainable design practices that contribute to healthier living spaces. Future studies will focus on optimizing the system and exploring its applications in various settings.
