Ventilated facades revolutionize energy-efficient living for urban communities.
The study explores new ways to improve energy efficiency in building design by using a ventilated facade. It focuses on how to grow fruit and berry plants in urban areas, like a city garden, for educational or decorative purposes. The researchers found that incorporating fruit trees and berry bushes into urban landscapes has benefits beyond just providing food; it can also serve as a way to teach or showcase scientific information. By combining these plantings with the building envelopes, like walls or roofs, they aim to create spaces that are both energy-efficient and visually appealing. This approach aims to blend the functionality of building materials with the beauty and usefulness of fruit-bearing plants to create more sustainable urban environments.
