    Environment

    microclimate.network is an initiative for the improved outdoor environment. The global change is influencing our everyday life through changing weather and climate patterns, which have negative impacts on health in the urban environment and food production in the countryside. Our aim is to raise awareness on these issues and try to help users by utilizing state-of-the-art technologies and latest findings in applied science to achieve these goals.

  • An experimental study on a microclimatic layer of a bionic façade inspired by vertical greenery

    Journal of Bionic Engineering

    A microclimatic layer of the green façade is proven to have specific temperature and flow conditions
    on the building envelope. Lower temperatures and wind velocities, and higher relative humidity in the
    microclimatic layer are characteristics of vertical greenery systems, which cause lower energy
    consumption for the cooling and heating of buildings. Despite innovative architectural solutions, there
    are some drawbacks to applying vertical greenery on building envelopes. In this…

    A microclimatic layer of the green façade is proven to have specific temperature and flow conditions
    on the building envelope. Lower temperatures and wind velocities, and higher relative humidity in the
    microclimatic layer are characteristics of vertical greenery systems, which cause lower energy
    consumption for the cooling and heating of buildings. Despite innovative architectural solutions, there
    are some drawbacks to applying vertical greenery on building envelopes. In this study, a bionic façade
    that mimics the positive effects and eliminates the disadvantages of green façades is presented. The
    bionic façade consists of bionic leaves, which are made of photovoltaic cells and an evaporative
    matrix. A real scale experiment was carried out in the summer to evaluate the potential of the cooling
    efficiency of the microclimatic layer and a new photovoltaic cooling technique. The results show good
    agreement of the thermal performance of the bionic and green façades and up to 20.8 K lower surface
    temperatures of photovoltaic cells, which has effects on the up to 6.6% higher daily electricity yield.

Projects

  • Process Automation in Sales and Logistics: Market Research

    In this survey, we included ten questions aimed at understanding several key aspects: the current level of digitalization in companies, challenges encountered in the process, and future plans regarding process automation. We also sought to gain insights into how orders are managed.
