La volontà del testo è quella di portare maggior rilievo verso la grande importanza della qualità dell'aria, riunendo le conoscenze reperite da svariati ambiti: medico, botanico, fisicotecnico. Per riunirle in un approccio integrato, che abbia come denominatore comune la qualità dell'aria negli ambienti progettati e l'integrazione dei metodi naturali agli impianti di depurazione dell'aria. È stato riscontrato che questo tipo di integrazione si rivela produttiva pervia degli innumerevoli benefici di comfort e di benessere, oltre a fornire elementi di design fin ora poco frequenti.

Vengono presi in considerazione i metodi di integrazione con specie di piante da interni e viene valutato se essi possano avere un riscontro positivo sul bilancio energetico dell'edificio diminuendo la richiesta di energia elettrica e riducendo la spesa dovuta al mantenimento delle unità trattamento aria.
