Pollen is said to enter the home mainly via ventilation or being brought in by people. As such, our trials in Woven City will try to minimize pollen infiltration by focusing on ventilation filters and air pressure control.
To deal with pollen being brought in from outside—by people returning home, for example—we will also install interior and exterior pollen sensors linked to air purifiers.
At present, however, our system is not capable of completely shutting out all pollen. We want to make improvements by getting feedback from residents and notifying them of current pollen conditions, both indoors and outdoors, hopefully leading to some modest behavioral changes.
We believe this will be possible in Woven City, where everyone possesses an inventor mindset. We want to work with the residents to explore various ideas that can lead to more pollen-less spaces.
The mission of Woven City is to “build the future fabric of life.”
Although few people are likely to think about ventilation as much as heating or cooling, I consider it to be very important. I want to create a future where ventilation is woven more closely into people’s lives.
