Artigo Completo:

Our cities have centrally distributed utility systems and therefore, harvesting natural resources is typically managed centrally. Even though there are several natural resources that can be harvested from the building envelope such as daylight, water, wind, vegetation, and energy, resource harvesting locally has not been considered as a function of individual building performance. Harvesting renewable resources in individual buildings is a critical step towards creating sustainable and resilient buildings. This paper investigates methods for resource harvesting from the building envelope and indicates how multiple harvesting methods with different performance objectives can be integrated in the building design through a performance-based design approach.
