About the CityTree
35 (November 2020)
The CityTree is an air filter based on the idea of combining nature with digital technology. It uses the natural ability of living moss to bind fine dust and remove it from the air, thus improving air quality. The inter - action of sensors, intelligent ventilation, irrigation and software makes the natural cleaning power both functional and measurable. The CityTree is a combination of street furniture and bio filter: a bench below, a moss-covered surface above, and complex technology with IoT interface inside. This opens up further application possibilities, such as in the areas of smart city (e-mobility) infrastructure and communication.

Environmental performance can be detected, evaluated and controlled through the use of sensors The CityTree is a highly effective air conditioner, but needs only the power of 5 light bulbs (about 125W) The CityTree is never „full“, as the fine dust is converted to natural biomass by the moss Mosses thrive under controlled conditions in the moss farm up to 16x faster than in nature
