N2 - The megacities have witnessed massive increase in the population due to migration of people from rural areas. Cities, known for its job opportunities are increasing built forms which is creating negative impact on the environment. A large population spends on average 8-10 hours in an office. Limited natural elements within an office environment affecting users negatively by creating mental and physical health conditions. Numerous Studies confirmed that the imbalance in Indoor Air Quality, Thermal, Acoustic and Visual comfort results into Sick Building Syndrome. This research focuses on importance of consolidating Green walls within corporate offices and reviewing its positive impact on the indoor air quality affecting the performance of professional workers within that building premises. The study concludes that the green wall metabolizes harmful toxins present in the workspace, leading to an approximate 70% of productivity gain and a healthier working environment for the employees.
