Figure 3: House plant (Meattle 2009)
The plants that were under examination for 15 years in a 2 deceits office building, the area of the
facility is 500,000 ft. square and 1,200 herbs where placed; the outcome as shown in Figure 4.

Those numbers goes constantly down which leads to increasing productivity more than 20% and
helping minimize energy costs by more than 15% accordingly.
Misunderstanding of Indoor Plants for Air Clearness
The experiment of Kamal Meattle which was presented in a TED conference explained about how
the indoor plants is air clarifying, however it did not provide a full picture about the supporters
that helped in giving the desired outcome, yet it was the plant room that played an important
role in an integral system containing the air washer and the duct filtration (Greenscaper 2009).
Most importantly, are the green elements that were gathered within a treatment space that created a purifying zone, which acted as the center of the cleaning process and distributed fresh air
to the whole building evenly, not scattered randomly. Combining a large number of pots (up to
1,200 pots in one place) is an excellent way to induce indoor air cleaning since they can efficiently
eliminate VOCs (Greenscaper 2009).
