The platform is designed to let large developments host tens of thousands of living plants that grow autonomously and to measure energy savings through integration with building automation and HVAC systems, according to [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/956869657/as-life-moves-indoors-tnglab-expands-beyond-green-walls-to-an-ai-powered-green-infrastructure-platform).\n\n## Inside TNGLAB's AI Green Wall Platform\n\nThe platform adds three layers to TNGLAB's existing smart green walls, which use AIoT-based automated irrigation that has cut water use by about 80% compared with conventional methods. The first layer is autonomous growth management, in which AI monitors air quality and humidity in planted spaces and maintains conditions for plant growth. The second is DEW-X, a technology in development that works with HVAC and cooling equipment to recover moisture from the air and deliver it to plants, with the goal of green walls that need no external water supply. The third is integration with building automation systems, HVAC and the digital twin platforms used to run large buildings, enabling remote management and reports that quantify energy savings.\n\nThe platform also extends TNGLAB's business model beyond one-time sales to a lifecycle service covering installation, operations and maintenance, and environmental data services. \"Everyone wants nature indoors, but it couldn't come in because it was too hard to manage,\" said Kim Young-ju, CEO of TNGLAB. \"So what we are building is no longer a green wall system but a green wall platform, an infrastructure platform.\"\n\nOn the hardware side, TNGLAB is developing a non-combustible green wall-finishing material for data centers, power facilities and other infrastructure. The company's modular smart green walls, which can be installed in as little as one day, have been installed at sites including the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and a residential model house in Jeju, South Korea. TNGLAB is seeking pilot projects and partnerships with real estate developers, architects, construction companies, building operators, smart building and digital twin solution providers, and data center operators in Korea, the Middle East and Europe.\n\n## Compass, Octave and PassiveLogic Launches\n\nOther building-technology companies have introduced AI-linked facilities products in November. Compass Group launched AirisOne, an AI-powered managed services platform for facilities managers, on November 3, [Facilities Dive](https://www.facilitiesdive.com/news/compass-group-launches-ai-powered-managed-services-hub/873607/) reported. Octave Intelligence announced the immediate availability of Octave Attune Facilities, a cloud-based facilities management solution with a built-in AI assistant, on November 9, according to [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/11/09/3398209/0/en/octave-introduces-attune-facilities-bringing-ai-powered-facilities-management-and-spatial-intelligence-to-complex-multi-site-operations.html). PassiveLogic launched Level 3 autonomy, its first system for generalized autonomous control of buildings and infrastructure robots, on November 10, [Facilities Dive](https://www.facilitiesdive.com/news/autonomous-buildings-are-fast-approaching-passivelogic-ai-chief/874265/) reported.\n\n## TNGLAB's Showroom and Event Plans\n\nTNGLAB runs It's Nature, a café that doubles as a green wall showroom, in Songdo, Incheon. It opened at Incheon Global Campus in 2023 and added a second location at Yonsei University International Campus in 2025. At Slush 2025 in Helsinki, the company held consultations with European ESG-focused organizations and prospective partners.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
