This Innovative Brick Sucks Pollution From the Air Like a Vacuum Cleaner

Three possible configurations of Breathe Brick walls, starting with the simple double-wall construction where the interior wall provides insulation, while the outer wall provides filtered air into a plenum space between the two walls. The middle image shows the double wall with a window, where filtered air can be brought into the unit through user-operated trickle vents. The third version uses mechanical heating/cooling equipment to condition the filtered air before introducing it to the occupied space. Image © Carmen Trudell
