These 2024 eco architecture trends range from advanced greenhouse designs to sustainable NYC flagship stores.
BrightFarms' new 1.5 million-square-foot advanced greenhouse in Lorena, Texas is a notable example that uses innovative cooling technology to grow leafy greens year-round, addressing the region's challenging climate. This expansion highlights the company’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, delivering fresher produce with a reduced environmental footprint by minimizing transportation and resource use.
Other 2024 eco architecture standouts include the AI-powered Building Systems solution from Honeywell and Cisco which combines Honeywell Forge Sustainability+ and Cisco Spaces to optimize building energy use and environmental conditions using AI and machine learning. By dynamically adjusting HVAC systems based on real-time occupancy data, it enhances energy efficiency, supports sustainability goals, and improves productivity and comfort in individual buildings and campuses.
