Science in Aura

When science and nature meet, breathing green walls are born. They can purify air and transform any space into a well-being oasis.

Polluted air is captured

L'aria inquinata entra nel sistema, attirata dalla ventilazione, e passa attraverso i singoli moduli.

Aura Mix filters pollutants

The patented Aura Mix substrate inside the module filters out harmful substances, preventing them from spreading further.

Plants clean the filter

Pollutants are absorbed by the roots of the plants in each module or dissolved by the irrigation water.

Purified air is released

The purified air, with its distinctive natural scent, is released into the room.

Substrato Aura Mix

Aura Mix substrate

Backed by years of research, Aura Mix boosts plants' filtering abilities while retaining breathability and sustainability.

Patented

Developed through advanced research to maximize purification capacity.

Purifying

Captures up to 90 % of airborne pollutants.

Sustainable

Made from natural and recycled materials, such as coconut fiber.

Natural purification

The purification process of Aura's green breathing walls amplifies four natural processes:

Fitorimediazione

Phytoremediation

The plant roots absorb substances, including VOC gases, from the air and use part of them as nutrients. The ventilation of Aura walls pushes the pollutants towards the roots.

Fotosintesi

Photosynthesis

We all learned in school that photosynthesis is the process by which plant leaves absorb carbon dioxide and transform it into oxygen with the help of light. This can work even under artificial light!

Biofiltrazione

Biofiltration

Microorganisms near plant roots feed on pollutants trapped in the substrate. The plants in Aura’s green walls are grown in Aura Mix, fostering this ecosystem.

Solubilizzazione

Solubilization

The remaining pollutants after the biofiltration process are neutralized by the water. The automated daily irrigation of Aura’s green breathing walls ensures their proper disposal.

Benefits for you

-80 %

CO₂ purification

L

L’anidride carbonica (CO₂) è un gas incolore e inodore naturalmente presente in natura che in ambienti con limitato ricircolo dell’aria, con alte concentrazioni, può provocare affaticamento respiratorio, alterazioni del battito cardiaco e riduzione della produttività.

Le pareti verdi respiranti Aura riducono la CO₂ di oltre l’80%.

-99 %

PMx purification

L

The Fine particles (PMx) negli edifici derivano da riscaldamento, processi di combustione e attività umane come fumo, cucina, ecc. Sono inquinanti altamente cancerogeni e attualmente la 6a causa di morte nel mondo.

Le pareti verdi respiranti Aura riducono i PMx di oltre il 99%.

-90 %

VOC purification

L

The composti organici volatili are harmful substances released by paints, modern furniture, cleaning products, photocopiers, and wall coatings. They include Benzene, Methylene Chloride, and Formaldehyde, and can cause health issues.

Le pareti verdi respiranti Aura riducono i VOC di oltre il 90%.

Well-being

L

Breathing clean air improves daily well-being , reducing symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, irritation of the eyes and throat, and nausea. In this way, indoor environments become healthier, promoting health and comfort for all occupants

Sound Absorption

L

Green walls help migliorare l'acustica of a room and reduce common office noises tipici degli uffici – soprattutto i moderni “open space”- diminuendo gli effetti che ne derivano quali irritabilità, insonnia, riduzione delle facoltà cognitive nei soggetti sensibili.

Biophilia

L

Aura breathing green walls inseriscono piante e aria naturale nelle case e negli uffici contribuendo a generare emozioni positive, a ridurre lo stress e a migliorare l’umore.

FAQs

Are Aura's breathing green walls just for aesthetics?

Unlike standard green walls, Aura’s walls are “breathing” systems, and among the very few of their kind worldwide.
In addition to serving a decorative function like traditional green walls, Aura walls actively purify indoor air thanks to an engineered ventilation system and a biofilter composed of the patented Aura Mix substrate and a selection of carefully chosen plants.

Does a potted plant purify the air as well as an Aura breathing wall?

According to performance tests, one breathing green wall from Aura with 64 plants purifies as much air as about 160 potted plants.

This is made possible by the engineered fan system and, above all, the biofilter—a synergy of patented substrate and plant roots—that amplifies the natural air-purifying power of plants by guiding air directly toward the root zone where pollutants are captured and neutralized. composto dal substrato brevettato Aura Mix e una selezione di piante, permettono di amplificare la naturale tendenza delle piante a purificare l’aria, favorendo la cattura degli inqunanti e indirizzando il flusso del”aria verso le radici

Is Aura’s purification system artificial?

 Aura’s breathing green walls purify the air in an almost entirely natural way.
The only artificial element is the mechanical ventilation, while the biofilter is made exclusively of real plants and organic substances.

Do Aura breathing green walls create humidity?

Aura walls can either humidify or dehumidify the air, depending on the specific indoor environment. This effect depends on the irrigation frequency, which can be adjusted by Aura’s technicians during installation to suit the needs of the space.
