To Reduce the Annoying Light with Microalgae Window

Abstract

Aims: Improving energy efficiency and creating the quality of the indoor environment in buildings by using environmentally friendly energy sources instead of using fossil fuels that are impossible to recycle and cause environmental pollution is very important. The use of an algal facade system that generates energy sources through building components can be suggested as one of the new efficient alternatives to solve this system. Methods: Microalgae are a type of living microorganism that is in the simplest form of a plant sample and mainly single-celled. Compared to other plant species, these organisms have a very high ability to absorb air pollution due to the high surface-to-volume ratio. By absorbing carbon dioxide from air or water during photosynthesis, they produce about 60 to 75 percent of the oxygen needed by humans and animals, which is 10 times more than a mature tree and photosynthetic grass. Findings: In this research, in the first stage, based on valid scientific articles and library studies, new information is collected and produced, and then the behaviour of microalgae bioreactors is investigated and the possibility of replacing old panels with bioreactors is investigated. Conclusion: The use of alternative energy due to the reduction of energy resources and no destruction of the environment, and the use of environmentally friendly energy using microalgae, in addition to producing the required oxygen, by adding bioreactor panels as an additional view the building has been designed to create privacy and proper view of the building facade.
