LIVING ARCHITECTURE MONITOR / SUMMER 2018 / 24

The Journal of Living Architecture (JLIV) is the official, peer-reviewed journal of the
Green Infrastructure Foundation. The JLIV is written, reviewed, and edited by living
architecture research professionals, sharing with their colleagues: successful educational
applications, original research findings, scholarly opinions, educational resources and
challenges on issues of critical importance to living architecture professionals and educators. The JLIV is published exclusively in the Living Architecture Monitor magazine and
online at livingarchitecturemonitor.com. The magazine publishes the abstracts of each
published JLIV manuscript, with a link to the full paper online.

BENCH-STUDY OF GREEN-WALL PLANTS FOR INDOOR AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION
Fraser Torpy, Michael Zavattaro

ABSTRACT
Potted-plants have the potential for improving indoor air quality (IAQ), however there has
been little research on the performance of green-walls as indoor biofilters. The aim of this
investigation was to compare rates of air pollutant reduction with two commonly used indoor
species, and to assess the effects of added substrate airflows on the capacity of green-wall
modules to remove two prevalent indoor airborne contaminants - particulate matter (PM),
and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), using benzene as model. The species tested were
Chlorophytumcomosum (Spider Plant) and Epipremnumaureum (Pothos). The results
showed that each species could significantly reduce increasing doses of PM, with or without
augmented substrate airflow, however benzene removal rates decreased with increasing
aeration. The findings provide a first assessment of the ability of green-wall plants to reduce
indoor air pollution, and responses to two types of pollutant, particulate and gaseous.

EVALUATION OF A RESIDENTIAL GREEN ROOF SYSTEM
FOR STORMWATER RUNOFF RETENTION
Daniel Murphy, Susan Morgan, Serdar Celik, Bill Retzlaff

ABSTRACT
While much green roof research has been directed towards commercial and industrial
buildings, less is known about the sloped roofs of residential buildings. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate a pitched residential green roof system and determine its ability to
retain stormwater runoff. In order to do this, 18 shingled roof models were constructed on
three slope angles - 1˚, 20˚ (5/12 pitch), and 40˚ (10/12 pitch) of which 9 were randomly
fitted with a modular green roof system across three replications. The 42.1% mean
stormwater runoff retention for the green roof systems of was significantly greater than
the 18.3% for shingled roof decks. A residential product (Steep Paks®) performed within
the conventional range of previous stormwater retention studies. The residential green
roofs effectively reduced stormwater runoff during periods of light precipitation compared
to periods of heavy precipitation. No difference was found in percent stormwater runoff
retention between the three residential green roof slope angles.
