Low-energy fluidic cells could shade and cool buildings dynamically
A large percentage of a building's energy usage is consumed by heating and cooling, but a new dynamic shading system designed by researchers at the University of Toronto could help. Inspired by the skin of krill, the system uses cells of blooming pigment that can block light on demand.
