nano vent-skin tecnology

The Nano Vent Skin developed by Agustin Otegui is one multi-purpose material. It sheathes buildings in a glittering solar weave and is dotted with micro turbines. Its modular composition allows for retrofitting so there’s no need to construct new buildings in order to make use of the skin. Moreover, the technology uses micro organisms that absorb CO2 from the air. Using a three pronged approach, the Nano Vent Skin harnesses sunlight via a PV layer and transfers it to storage units; micro turbines used polarized organisms, which create chemical reactions to generate power; and the micro organisms in the turbines suck up carbon dioxide to clean the air.
