Lightening:
A lightening system is required for indoor living walls. Outdoors, this
lightening system only has an ornamental purpose.
Technical space:
A place for a tank (at the base of the living room or in other position)
and hydraulic and monitoring equipment is also necessary. The
dimensions of these premises depends on the area required for each
equipment.

Technical requirements INDOOR AIR
Lighting: A lighting system is required for indoor living walls. Outdoors, this lighting
system only has an ornamental purpose.
Service connections: The same connections as for passive systems are required.
In facilities combined with the building’s air conditioning system, the connection with
the ventilation conducts must be prepared depending on the operation schedule
selected. Indoors, the AALW can be autonomous, not attached to the ventilation
system.

Slimgreenwall is a smaller modular living wall. It introduces Nature
into your home or your office, in a safe, simple and controlled
way. They offer many decorative possibilities without any room
modifications. This system simplifies the multilayer components
of passive living walls in only one substrate layer allowing designs
with different configurations and finishing.
