Now, even sky-high buildings can breathe fresh air!
An Australian student has come up with a unique design, which can increase the functionality of ventilation for high-rise buildings.
Kate Stanistreet, a graduate at the University of New South Wales, has designed a building, which can breathe fresh air with the help of a double-skin facade – two layers of separated glass with small blinds, called louvres, fitted at the top and bottom of each floor.
“Cool air comes in from the bottom to naturally ventilate the office space,” says Stanistreet.
As the hot air rises, it exits via the top louvre.
Moreover, the tower”s northern facade contracts and expands at different heights, reducing obstruction of the view from nearby offices.
