Integration of Aquaponics with Green Walls
Innovative design alternatives known as building-integrated living systems (BILS) integrate green infrastructure like roofs and walls into structures to enhance ecological advantages and sustainability. The advantages include the preservation of resources, the mitigation of the consequences of the climate change, reduction of the urban heat island (UHI) effect, and carbon sequestration. Sustainability is further improved by implementing rainwater harvesting, water recycling, and energy generation. Urban re-purposing for fresh produce boosts regional economic growth, and with high-tech indoor farming methods like hydroponics and aquaponics which have shown 80% better crop yields, the water usage is further reduced by 80% and shown to have lesser environmental impacts than conventional farming methods. The study aims to integrate modern agricultural methods such as aquaponics and hydroponics onto green facades, so contributing to a healthier and more sustainable urban environment. The research is based on a thorough review of the literature. Vertical farming and vertical green walls systems have been researched in several studies, but there is a gap in the investigation of their integration, which is addressed in this paper. The study finishes with a discussion of the promising integration of vertical farming and living wall technologies with hydroponics and aquaponics systems, as well as a few instances of such integration and studies demonstrating their effective impact on building thermal comfort. The studies show that the indoor temperatures are enhanced by 0.15 °C during summer and up to 10.63 °C during cooler seasons in cold climate for hydroponic green wall and 47% energy savings with aquaponic green wall through simulation studies.
