Abstract

Breathing walls provide a practical and viable technology that enables provision of high quality indoor environments, uses less energy, and combats urban air pollution. The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of how breathing walls work, the materials used in their construction, and how they can be integrated in environmentally responsive buildings. The latest research findings into life-long particulate and bio-filtration will also be outlined. Design and construction of maintenance-free, modular breathing wall cladding panels and their implementation in actual building projects is briefly described.
