​In our modern homes and offices, mechanical filters have become indispensable allies for improving ventilation and reducing pollutants. But are they truly the best choice for enhancing indoor air quality?​

The Issues with Mechanical Filters

Despite their widespread presence in nearly all buildings, mechanical filters have significant drawbacks:​

  • High Energy Consumption: Over time, filters accumulate dirt, increasing resistance to airflow and forcing ventilation systems to work harder, thereby consuming more energy.​ aurasystem.it 
  • Frequent Maintenance:To maintain high performance, regular filter replacements are necessary. This process not only has a high environmental impact but also poses the risk of installation errors that could compromise effectiveness.​ 
  • Ineffectiveness Against VOCs and CO₂:Standard mechanical filters capture fine dust and solid particulates but are not designed to remove gases like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or carbon dioxide (CO₂), leaving these pollutants present in indoor air.​
  • Release of Microparticles: A clogged air filter can release microparticles of dirt into the air, further degrading air quality.​
  • High Long-Term Costs:Beyond the costs associated with high energy consumption, the need for frequent filter replacements leads to recurring and impactful long-term expenses.​

The Green Solution: Aura Biofilters

Aura biofilters offer a green and effective approach to air purification, integrating the power of nature with engineered systems. Here's why they are the ideal choice:

  • Natural Efficiency:Thanks to the action of selected plants and the patented Aura Mix substrate, Aura System's breathing green walls not only trap harmful particles—both solid and gaseous—but also transform them into nutrients for the plants. This ensures clean air and prevents filter clogging, resulting in greater durability.​
  • Energy Savings: Since the majority of purification is achieved through natural elements, energy consumption is minimal, leading to lower costs and a reduced environmental impact.​
  • Reduced Maintenance:Aura System's breathing green walls require minimal care. Irrigation and purification are automated, and there's no need to replace the biofilter annually, as is required with mechanical systems.​
  • Aesthetics and Well-beingAura System walls not only purify the air but also transform environments into welcoming spaces, promoting mental and physical well-being through the phenomenon of biophilia.​
  • Competitive Costs: In the long term, biofilters represent a smart investment, eliminating many of the recurring expenses associated with traditional filters.​

Choose the Future of Air Quality

With Aura biofilters, you can say goodbye to compromises between efficiency and sustainability. It's time to transform your spaces into healthier, more beautiful, and environmentally friendly environments.​
