Turn Buildings into Large Air Purification Systems

PurCity wrote: Purcity has developed for the first time in the world a pct patented, sustainable and highly efficient self-cleaning air purification system that turns new or existing buildings into large scale air purifiers. It is called gaps, and consists of industrial panels that are a great substitute for exterior aluminium facades. Gaps shape has been designed like a double facade, which produces a chimney effect to naturally suck the polluted air into the gaps chemically activated exterior wall-panels, which removes both pm2. 5 particles and toxic gases like sox, nox, vocs and carbon dioxide. The clean air is then delivered to the building through the hvac system, which saves 10-20% (15-30 kwh/m2) of energy consumption while delivering pure air...
