With invention of many electronic gadgets, energy consumption has increased today than what was say 20 years back. Similarly carbon emissions or so-called greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere and help to warm it. These problems appear insurmountable in the near or even long-term future, unless proper understanding and correct implementation is undertaken on priority basis. Keeping this in mind Architect Enric Ruiz-Geli has designed an inflatable membrane façade from the Media- TIC building that will help it save energy and reduce carbon emissions. The building features four facades to provide different levels of insulation. Moreover the roof of the building will also feature photovoltaic panels or solar panels and a green cover. The green roof collects rainwater which is then directed to a tank and re-used for sanitation and landscaping.
