http://www.building4change.com/page.jsp?id=1303 Tata Steel has launched the Colorcoat Renew SC ® integrated solar air heating system. The system incorporates the company’s micro-perforated Colorcoat Prisma® pre-finished steel as the solar collector, and is installed as an additional skin on a building’s wall, creating a cavity between it and the wall. Negative air pressure within the cavity draws in pre-heated boundary layer air through perforations in the transpired solar collector’s surface.

Steel skin uses solar radiation to heat buildings

List of air-filtering plants

The first list of air filtering plants was compiled by NASA as part of the NASA Clean Air Study , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] which researched ways to clean air in space stations . As well as absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen , as all plants do, these plants also eliminate significant amounts of benzene , formaldehyde and/or trichloroethylene . The second and third list are from Dr. B.C. Wolverton 's book [ 4 ] and paper [ 5 ] and focus on removal of specific chemicals.
