#3 [ENG] The tree of the future
Open 336 I THE TREE OF THE FUTURE
Speaker: Would you believe it if we told you that Open 336, breathes? And not only the building: thanks to its "lungs" it guarantees excellent air quality for everyone in the building, with positive outcomes also for the community!
The eco-friendly building was designed rigorously following values of respect for the environment and sustainability.
The integrated technological apparatus in particular contributes to these objectives. But let's hear about it from engineer Alessandro Belloni, CEO of the Fervo Group.
AB: One of the most innovative devices adopted is the Eco2Air® filter, developed by the Fervo Group in recent years.
How does it work? It is an air-handling system capable of capturing and storing much of the carbon dioxide present in the external atmosphere and then injecting cleaner, oxygen-rich air into the building.
The filter functions as a sponge, made of organic and biodegradable material, including coffee grounds, able to operate for at least 600 hours. That means about one change of filter a month. Once saturated, the filter can be emptied of the accumulated carbon dioxide, recycled and used again safely for up to seven years. However, the collected CO2 is not released back into the environment, polluting once again. It is instead recovered and used for different purposes, thus becoming a new resource.
Speaker: Buildings have been constructed on sustainability principles for years, and yet something was still missing. Let's imagine the building as a tree: if the foundations represent the roots and the structure the bark, the Eco2Air® filter finally constitutes the leaves.
AB: That’s an excellent visual comparison!
Consider that 10 kilo of filter material in a continuous cycle has the capacity to absorb 10 to 15 times more CO2 than, say, a magnolia or a pine.
But there's more: all the elements of the air treatment plant are connected remotely to a platform called FEAMS which, through sensors, continuously checks the health of the building including energy consumption and environmental sustainability.
FEAMS reads all the parameters of the system and the environment in real time, reporting not only any anomalies, but even predicting service interventions thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms.
Speaker: On the other hand, prevention is better than cure! Acting at the right time can help maintain or even increase the value of the asset. The use of such technology has a positive influence on many aspects: it reduces the total cost of running the building, and also shows a tangible result on the decarbonization curve by offsetting the CO2 debt that the construction of the building and its lifetime inevitably accumulate over time. That’s why Open 336 is resilient and prepared for the future — a truly “smart” building!
