Briefings

A 2026 study by 35 international experts led by Surrey's GCARE analyzed global research on indoor greenery performance. The team found that plants can improve air quality and provide cooling in indoor environments, though specific mechanisms and effectiveness vary by location and plant type.

Key points

• A team of 35 international experts led by Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) reviewed global studies on indoor greenery performance.
• The study identified that plants can improve air quality and provide cooling in indoor environments, with effectiveness varying by location and plant type.

Context

This research synthesizes findings from multiple global studies to evaluate the efficacy of indoor greenery for air purification and thermal regulation.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single study published in Eco-Environment and Health, which reviewed existing literature rather than conducting new field trials. Specific effectiveness metrics and causal relationships remain unverified.
