“We have been ignoring the 90%. We spend 90% of our time indoors and 90% of the cost of a building are the occupants, yet indoor environmental quality and its impact on health and productivity are often an afterthought if they are even considered at all” – Joseph Allen, Director of the Healthy Buildings Program at the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment.
Modern, energy-efficient buildings may save on energy costs, but they often lack quality air circulation thus allowing the build-up of potentially harmful gases. These gases come from such seemingly innocent sources as furniture, carpeting, household cleaning agents and office equipment such as photocopiers.
Possible risk factors for Sick Building Disease may include:
Various studies have shown that certain plants actually clean the air we breathe, and can fight against the common "Sick Building Disease." These studies have shown there is an immediate improvement in air quality when tropical plants are introduced. Tropical plants have the ability to effectively reduce levels of a number of noxious gases found in almost every home or office building.
Plantscape uses living tropical plants to create an environment that projects a company's image and reflects the quality of its operations
