Vesavi

Nowadays, due to increasing global temperature thermal comfort has became a necessity. With such increased demand in thermal comfort a lot of solution opted are non-sustainable active cooling, which depletes natural resources. To overcome the adverse effect and damages done by active cooling there is a need to adapt passive cooling.
Vesavi is a retractable Louvre frame which can be retrofitted on building fenestration. The main function of this frame is to increase the amount of airflow entering through it with help of its form. The project completely focuses on developing a thermal comfort solution for buildings which helps cool down the building passively.
