In this whiteboard animation, I present sustainable solutions inspired by nature for construction, architecture as well as ventilation, heating and cooling buildings. 25% of the total CO2 emissions worldwide are attributed to heat and energy and residential and commercial buildings are responsible for about half this 25%, so 12% of total greenhouse gas emissions so we need to do better on this.
