Conceptualization of Well-Building with Reference to Air-Filtration with Biomaterials

Abstract

Aims: Over the last decade, green building standards and standard-setting organizations have made significant strides towards the market transformation of the building industry, resulting in a rapid expansion of green buildings and environmentally conscious building practices throughout the world. The WELL Building Standard focuses on the people in the building [1]. One of the biggest problems in the world today, that has devastating effects on human health and on global warming, is air pollution. By developing knowledge of biomaterials production, ways can be found to reduce these pollutants. Methods: To write this article, a quasi-experimental research method has been used that examines the production of a biomaterial for air filtration in building skins. This shell, which is inspired by cell plasma membrane, meets WELL standards for the adsorption of air pollutant particles and their conversion into harmless particles, thereby optimizing indoor air quality, as well as helping to reduce air pollutants and improve global warming conditions. The use of peptoids -non-natural mimetics of peptides and proteins and like cell membrane phospholipids- to make this synthetic membrane is recommended in this article. Findings: According to studies, peptoids can have side chains to adsorb air pollutant particles. The structure of peptoids allows them to exhibit certain features of cell plasma membrane, such as self-healing and self-assembly. These synthetic membranes can be fabricated with a structure like a cellular plasma membrane. Conclusion: This research states that the time has come to elevate human health and comfort to the forefront of building practices and reinvent buildings that are not only better for the planet, but also for people [1]. Fabricating synthetic membranes, for buildings, with air filtration capabilities using peptoids, is one way to maintain human health and improve the planet.
