Made up of cascading buckets of lush plants, the massive green wall serves as an indoor air filter that sucks in pollutants and fine dust. The vertical garden also helps save energy costs by regulating indoor temperatures and humidity levels. The City Hall’s additional energy-efficient features include the complex heat exchanger and pump system that meets nearly half of the building’s heating and cooling needs. Integrated photovoltaic rooftop panels provide 29% of the building’s energy through solar power. The perforated floors are heated with geothermal energy. inhabitat/7-story-indoor-green-wall-is-as-an-enormous-air-filter-for-solar-powered-seoul-city-hall/
