CASE and SOM’s AMPS Living Green Wall Promises to Dramatically Reduce Air Pollution and Energy Costs
“The Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) developed a clever green wall system that can effectively reduce airborne pollution while saving energy. Dubbed the ‘Active Modular Phytoremediation Wall System’ (AMPS), the long winded name is actually a straight-forward approach that maximizes a plant’s capacity to clean the air, thus reducing the need for outside fresh air in buildings. The collaboration between SOM and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows great promise in adding some green relief and reducing a building’s energy — which is just about as good as building technology can get.”
