Dutch startup Respyre makes moss grow directly on concrete building facades. No soil, no irrigation, no pruning. The moss lives on rainwater and humidity.
A 2025 lab study found moss barriers achieve 41% PM2.5 and 47% PM10 reduction. Field tests captured 45,580 particles per mm2 on moss surfaces.
Compared to algae bioreactor facades (Hamburg's BIQ house) and ventilated moss filters (CityTree), plus UCL's BiotA Lab panels. A survey of the whole field.

Mexican builder Omar Vázquez Sánchez uses sargassum seaweed for bricks, insulating homes naturally. How can we scale up this approach for wider use in sustainable building projects? #GreenBuilding #SustainableMaterials #EcoTech
-
It seems like we are paying quite the premium for installing #ExteriorFoamInsulation, which is apparently fairly rare in residential applications, despite seeming simple to install and ideal for older houses built without the 2x8 rafters that would otherwise be needed to hold enough insulation.
Here's hoping our investment in the technology will make things marginally simpler for other sustainably-minded homeowners in the future.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) — Operating Principle
A recuperator (heat recovery unit) transfers heat from exhaust air to incoming fresh air without mixing the two streams.
---
How It Works
Two airflows:
Exhaust air (warm, from indoors)
Supply air (cold, from outside)
They pass through a heat exchanger:
separated by plates or channels
no direct mixing
heat transfers through the material (conduction)
Result: → supply air is preheated
→ exhaust air is cooled
→ overall heat loss is reduced---
Types of Recuperators
1. Plate Heat Exchanger
aluminum or plastic plates
efficiency: ~60–90%
no moving parts
2. Rotary (Wheel) Heat Exchanger
rotating drum
transfers heat and some moisture
efficiency: up to ~85–90%
3. Counterflow Heat Exchanger
air streams move in opposite directions
highest efficiency: up to ~95%
---
What Is Transferred
heat (primary)
sometimes moisture (in enthalpy units)
---
Efficiency Example
outside: 0°C
indoor: +22°C
after recovery: ~16–20°C
---
Advantages
reduced heating energy demand
continuous ventilation without major heat loss
improved indoor air quality
---
Limitations
frost formation in winter (needs bypass or preheater)
filter maintenance required
upfront cost
---
Core Idea
A recuperator doesn’t generate heat — it recovers and reuses it.

Cutting energy consumption by up to 75% with green roofs? That's the impressive result of a well-designed green roof, as research from the National Research Council of Canada reveals. From Bosco Verticale in Milan to the Vancouver Convention Centre, public buildings are now embracing green roofs as a key strategy for reducing environmental impact and enhancing urban biodiversity. But what's the real-world impact of these initiatives? #GreenBuilding #GreenTechnology #EnergySaving
