Green Benefits

Indoor plants are connected to well-being, better health and improved productivity. Green buildings should have green plants. In addition to improving indoor air quality (IAQ), indoor plants have been proven to reduce the number of sick days for office workers and have been tied with greater productivity. The Onomea management team has extensive experience in environmental consulting and toxicology. We believe that commercial property owners are responsible for the IAQ of their buildings. Owners should remove toxic materials and building products and use indoor plants to add oxygen and filter pollutants. Although unproven to date, the net effect of indoor plants may also act as a carbon sink in the mitigation of climate change.

Buildings with indoor plants have been proven to have the following benefits
• Enhanced building image
