Project:

Multifunctional Living Membranes for Indoor Environments

Current Challenge

Research Goal

The primary objective of this project is to obtain experimental data on the moisture-buffering capacities of synthetic lichen membranes and to build a computational framework to quantify the potential building energy savings of synthetic lichen with hyperactive moisture buffering capacities.
