Building owners are worried about maintenance for biophilic installations. How can you ease their concerns?

The myth that biophilic design elements are high-maintenance often deters building owners from incorporating them. However, with proper planning, these installations can be low-maintenance. Choosing plants suited to the local climate and building conditions reduces the need for constant care. Additionally, automated watering and lighting systems can significantly cut down on the labor and time required for maintenance, making biophilic design a practical and sustainable choice.

Everyone see or wants to see Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay or One Central Park in Sydney. It is a few real-world examples of successful biophilic design implementations that have proven to be manageable with minimal maintenance. Using this world examples we can share technological solutions that showcase how modern technology can minimize maintenance and enhance biophilic design. Gardens by the Bay in Singapore features the Supertree Grove with vertical gardens that benefit from advanced climate control systems.One Central Park is famous for its vertical gardens featuring hardy, low-maintenance plants suited to the local climate. The building uses an integrated irrigation system to minimize frequent manual watering.

Initial costs includes installation of advanced green walls and irrigation systems, plus ongoing plant maintenance. However, it offers significant long-term benefits: reduced heating and cooling costs due to natural insulation, increased property value, and enhanced occupant well-being through improved air quality and reduced stress. Additionally, it contributes to energy efficiency and sustainability, lowering carbon footprints and improving resilience to climate impacts. Overall, the long-term advantages of biophilic design outweigh the initial investment, making it a valuable and sustainable choice. It is investment for future

Considering the experts involvment, first need to review best case scenrious world wide. It would provide valuable insights. Then need to invlove landscape architects who can create and implement design elements that fit building’s needs. Technology engineers integrate automated irrigation and climate control systems, while horticulturists/botanist offer guidance on selecting low-maintenance plants. Technology providers can deliver smart systems to automate maintenance.

Also sensors and automated systems to monitor plant health and environmental conditions, reducing manual intervention and optimizing resource use. Use sustainable or recycled materials for construction and plant installations that have a minimal environmental footprint.

Also using of energy-efficient LED lights that mimic natural sunlight to support plant growth, especially in indoor settings with limited natural light. there are many technologies for example integrate systems to collect and reuse rainwater for irrigation.

Utilizing case studies and testimonials can effectively ease concerns about biophilic installations. Share success stories and testimonials from other building owners who have successfully implemented and maintained these installations, providing reassurance and practical insights. Additionally, visual examples such as before-and-after photos and videos should be incorporated to illustrate the positive impact and manageability of well-maintained biophilic spaces. This approach not only demonstrates the aesthetic and functional benefits but also builds confidence in the feasibility and sustainability of biophilic design.
