Nowadays, high-rise buildings are increasingly dense and towering. Most buildings are sealed and windowless. Even when windows are present, they are often narrow, inward-opening gaps that cannot form effective air convection, thus giving rise to Sick Building Syndrome.
Against this backdrop, integrating the ecological concepts of the Singapore Botanic Gardens into indoor smart ecosystems, transforming every high-rise into a "vertical oasis" has become an urgent necessity. Only by allowing people who work, study, and engage in activities within high-rises to constantly find themselves in an environment resembling a primeval forest can a sustainable solution to Sick Building Syndrome be achieved.
The SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) has emerged accordingly, providing a dual-function solution that empowers health through the two dimensions of respiration and diet:
Utilizing leafy vegetables to establish indoor plant communities, creating a green and sustainable indoor environment;
Utilizing indoor space to create an ecological farm, providing free access to the freshest, pollution-free leafy vegetables.
The sixfold value of the SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) comprises of: Ecological Landscape, Ecological Function, Ecological Farm, Emotional Value, Carbon Sequestration Value, and Economic Value.
Ecological landscape
A. Using 36 varieties of leafy vegetables and herbs as the main component, and the proprietary SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) as the carrier, plant communities are established in indoor environments to increase microbial diversity and simulate the ecological environment of a primeval forest.
B. Utilizing leafy vegetables and herbs to establish plant communities and create indoor ecological landscapes can effectively alleviate eye fatigue and mental stress, enhance mood, boost immunity, and improve concentration.
Ecological Function
A. The photosynthesis of leafy vegetables and herbs requires a CO₂ concentration of 1000 - 1500 ppm, effectively mitigating high CO₂-concentration pollution in sealed, windowless indoor spaces, or those where only air conditioning is used without opening windows, thereby achieving the optimal concentration: below 1000 ppm.
B. During their growth, leafy vegetables and herbs absorb formaldehyde through their leaves and root hairs. Once absorbed by the leafy vegetables and herbs, formaldehyde enters their carbon metabolic network and is ultimately converted into harmless substances such as sugars.
C. Almost all air purifiers are chemical agents. They partially neutralize and degrade airborne formaldehyde and TVOC, but they result in residual formaldehyde and purifying agents, as well as generating secondary pollution.
Ecological Farm
A. The SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) creates a sustainable ecological farm, characterized by "low input, low energy consumption, zero loss," producing by-products with zero marginal cost, namely: "freshest, pollution-free, traceability-free" leafy vegetables and herbs.
B. Leafy vegetables and herbs need to be harvested and consumed immediately, or consumed immediately upon harvesting, to ensure the effective intake of their various nutrients.
C. The nutrients of leafy vegetables and herbs, especially vitamins, are largely lost during logistics distribution and cutting/preparation processes. According to research by American scientists, within 12 hours after harvest, the vitamin content of spinach drops to less than 10%.
Emotional Value
A. The growth process of leafy vegetables is itself a vibrant natural performance. As tender green leaves stretch and flourish day by day, that vigorous vitality seems to quietly awaken our own inner energy and hope.
B. Plants have a significant impact on human emotional fluctuations. Indoor spaces incorporating natural greenery have a notable effect on emotional arousal. This is manifested in promoting dopamine secretion, inducing strong feelings of pleasure, enhancing subjective comfort, and making people feel relaxed, comfortable, happy, and calm.
C. In indoor spaces, increasing the view of greenery can effectively improve attention, contributing to enhanced cognitive ability, comfort, creativity, short-term memory, and accuracy, thereby improving learning and work efficiency.
Carbon Sequestration Value
A. According to an authoritative report provided by TÜV SÜD, the SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) produces the same weight of leafy vegetables with nearly four times less carbon emissions compared to traditional indoor farms.
B. Based on calculations from the TÜV SÜD report, the annual carbon absorption of one SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) unit is equivalent to that of 120 large trees.
Economic Value
A. The SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) creates a sustainable ecological farm, characterized by "low input, low energy consumption, zero loss," producing by-products with zero marginal cost, namely: "freshest, pollution-free, traceability-free" leafy vegetables and herbs.
B. Zero use of single-use packing, zero energy consumption for cold chain distribution, zero loss from harvest to consumption, and zero use of pesticides and insecticides.
In a fast-paced modern urban life, health and sustainability have been core issues of increasing concern. We aspire for every breath of air we take to be pure and fresh, for every ingredient on our dining table to be fresh and safe, and for a close embrace with the beauty of nature in our daily spaces.
The SINGRASS® Indoor Smart Eco System (ISES™) was born to respond to this multidimensional aspiration. Using technology as its brush and nature as its ink, it paints a picture of health and harmony within indoor spaces— letting oxygen-rich air surround daily office life, letting freshly harvested leafy vegetables lock in nutrition, and letting leafy vegetables and microorganisms jointly build an ecological balance.
