PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air-purifying/greening apparatus capable of performing air purification together with greening while appropriately controlling the amount of moisture in a planting section and a method for controlling the air-purifying/greening apparatus.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, an air-purifying/greening apparatus 1 comprises: a planting section 2 a supply device 3 for supplying water and/or a nutrient solution a ventilation fan 4 capable of changing the airflow rate of air passing through the planting section in multiple stages a moisture sensor 5 for measuring the amount of moisture, and control means 6. The control means includes a normal operation mode, a rapid operation mode, and a pause mode. In the normal operation mode, the ventilation fan is operated so as to obtain an airflow rate at an arbitrary stage, and the supply device is operated when the measured value of the moisture sensor becomes less than a predetermined value. When the rapid operation mode is selected, the ventilation fan is operated so that the airflow rate is higher than the airflow rate in the normal operation mode, and the supply device is operated when the measured value of the moisture sensor becomes less than the set value. When the pause mode is selected, the ventilation fan and the supply device are halted for a predetermined time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】植栽部の水分量を適切に制御しつつ、緑化と共に空気清浄を行うことができる空気清浄緑化装置及びその制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】空気清浄緑化装置1は、植栽部2と水又は/及び養液を供給する供給装置3と植栽部を通過する空気の通気量を多段階に変更することができる通気ファン4と植栽部の水分量を計測する水分センサ5と制御手段6を備え、制御手段は通常運転モードと急速運転モードと休止モードを備えており、通常運転モードにおいては、任意の段階の通気量となるように通気ファンを稼働すると共に水分センサの計測値が設定値未満になった時に供給装置を稼働し、急速運転モードが選択された時は、通常運転モードにおける通気量よりも高い段階の通気量となるように通気ファンを稼働すると共に水分センサの計測値が設定値未満になった時に供給装置を稼働し、休止モードが選択された時は、通気ファン及び供給装置を所定時間停止する。【選択図】図1
