Oasis Facade
Sculptural energy-free cooling module
The "Oasis Facade" is a modular, sculptural facade system combining energy-free cooling technology with vertical agriculture, aimed at enhancing urban sustainability. Ideal for eco-conscious homeowners, urban planners, and businesses like restaurants, it provides natural cooling through porous ceramic materials, reducing reliance on air conditioning and lowering carbon emissions. The facade’s vertical agriculture feature allows users to grow edible plants on building surfaces, supporting local food production and cutting transportation needs.
