(en)The Lombardini22 Fabbrica dell’Aria®
Un laboratorio di innovazione scientifica e tecnologica che purifica l’aria indoor, una foresta viva all’interno di un luogo di lavoro e di progetto da sempre votato alla sperimentazione come Lombardini22. La Fabbrica dell’Aria® è un progetto dello scienziato Stefano Mancuso e di Pnat collettivo di designer, architetti e biologi spin-off dell’Università di Firenze.

Spazio vivo(en)A living space
Nei nuovi spazi in cui si sono trasferitele Business Unit del Gruppo più direttamente legate alla sostenibilità energetica e alle qualità atmosferiche dell’ambiente – L22 Engineering &Sustainability, CAP DC, Atmos – ha trovato posto la serra di 35 metri quadrati del La Fabbrica dell’Aria®, e ha iniziato a respirare. Si compone di 8 vasche aperte e 2 teche chiuse oltre a una rete di supporto per rampicanti che insieme formano un continuum vegetale su tre lati del perimetro.Il dispositivo è dotato di un sistema di filtrazione botanica (Stomata™, brevettato da Pnat) che amplifica la naturale capacità delle piante di trattenere e degradare gli inquinanti, organici e inorganici, trasformandoli in nutrienti per le piante.

It consists of 8 open tanks and 2 closed display cases, plus a support framework for climbing plants, which together will form a green array along three of the outside walls.The device has a botanical filtration system (Stomata™, patented by Pnat) that magnifies the plants’ natural ability to hold and break down both organic and inorganic pollutants, turning them into nutrients.

Pura atmosfera indoor(en)A pure indoor atmosphere
L’aria non è prelevata dall’esterno dell’edificio ma è un ricircolo di aria indoor: aspirata e forzata attraverso il letto di crescita delle piante, fatta fluire a contatto con le foglie e infine reimmessa purificata nell’ambiente stesso. Mentre radici e foglie lavorano come filtri sempre efficienti, un sistema di sensori permette di misurare e restituire in tempo reale il miglioramento della qualità dell’aria in entrata e uscita. I dati sulla qualità dell’aria mostrano una riduzione degli inquinanti atmosferici del 98%.
(en)Air is not taken in from outside the building.Rather, indoor air is recirculated: it is drawn in and forced through the plant wall, flowing through the leaves, and once purified is finally released in the indoor environment.While the roots and leaves function as steadily efficient filters, a sensor system measures and provides real-time readings on the improvement of ingoing and outgoing air quality. The air quality data show a 98% reduction in air pollutants.

“È un progetto talmente bello che il desiderio di averne uno nei nostri uffici è stato un riflesso immediato, anche perché è un modello scalabile e replicabile in altri contesti. L’occasione è arrivata con l’ampliamento della nostra sede. La decisione è stata istantanea: la faremo, e la faremo qui!”
