Building Envelope Cooling inspired by Evapotranspiration in Trees | UIA Copenhagen 2023 | CoolAnt

What if building skins behave just like foliage of a tree? Can buildings facades shade and also provide cool air?

This research is aimed at exploring and designing nature-based passive cooling building envelopes and assessing their impact on Operational Cooling Loads and Carbon Footprint of the building.

The future of space cooling in buildings will benefit by using efficient passive cooling envelopes can reduce the heat gain into the buildings. Use of evaporative cooling integrated into building skins further enhances the performance of the buildings as seen in the results.

Building Envelopes combined with biophilic solutions have tremendous potential to conform to the UNSDGs of creating sustainable and resilient habitats in our cities, focus on responsible and sustainable use of resources and energy.
