Vertical Farms Integrated into Buildings
Stacked hydroponic/aeroponic systems within mixed-use developments for local food production.
Integrating controlled-environment agriculture into buildings leverages waste heat, CO₂, and greywater while reducing food miles. The construction challenge is managing humidity, structural loads, and MEP integration. Pilot projects are operational in Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, and urban US markets.
