Abstract

Understanding the benefits of interior landscape can help environmental sustainability as a major concern within interior design field because over the life cycle of a building, ecological interior design can reduce negative effects and increase beneficial benefits on environmental systems.
Humans have used technological advancements to improve their work environment where they spend most of their time separated from nature and urban landscaping. This affects users’ healthand causes diseases such as sick building syndrome (SBS), the users’ comfort and work performance because of the pollutant emitted from the office equipment.
Previous research has demonstrated the importance of indoor plants in enhancing indoor environmental quality and decreasing all major forms of urban air pollution especially the CO₂ level which has a direct impact on human health, therefore the case study relied on measuring the CO₂ ratio at two different closed spaces in the same condition with and without plants to document the difference results between the two spaces in the CO2 levels which was the office with plants present a lower level of CO₂ than the office without plants by 45%.
Therefore, it is essential to identify the correct design criteria for the indoor plant inside the building with respecting the internal vacuum function and comfort of users. The interior landscaping is a practice of designing, installing and maintaining greenery elements inside the building that needs to take into account all the architectural design principles.
