Creo has unveiled its BioBulb platform that allows businesses to create appealing indoor plant walls with automated water and nutrient systems.
The system uses AI to create a smart, green living system that allows nature to grow in environments with scarce resources, such as inside office building lobbies.
The integrated system for buildings and homes uses AI to learn the optimal growth for a plant within its surroundings and autonomously infuses it with the precise amount of water and nutrients it needs. Creo can put the plants on walls and connect them with small plastic wires that deliver the nutrients and water as needed.
With more buildings introducing smart technologies, Creo believes it can make indoor air healthier to breathe and workspaces more appealing while improving overall indoor environmental quality.
“The idea is to systematically be able to integrate nature [into] buildings in a very sustainable fashion, virtually zero-based and almost virtually zero-maintenance,” Koliji said. “Everybody loves to have plants in buildings, commercial or residential or industrial, but the maintenance is a big hassle. They’re wasting so much water, and our system is dry 95% of the time", said Hooman Koliji, CEO.
