Abstract
Today, air pollution is one of the main problems in metropolitan cities. It threatens the health of humans, animals and plants and increases the temperature of the Earth and causes climate change. One of the biggest contaminating sources is building construction, as its shells are the main reasons for producing and intensifying air pollution. The purpose of this research is to use bionics to introduce a new type of green windows filled with microalgae in Tehran. An alga compared with plants is more absorbent, stable, viable and inexpensive. To do this, structure and proportions of double glazed windows for the microalgae was studied and the dimensions of the green window were investigated descriptively and analytically based on library resources. Then, the amount of absorption of the pollutant was measured by an experimental method with the injection of microalgae and carbon dioxide into the window. The results of this study showed that with the growth of microalgae only after six days, the carbon dioxide absorption process would change from 6.6% to 45.4%.
