Abstract

Algae convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into oxygen, heat, and 
biomass. Microalgae integration with buildings as a 
photobioreactor-based source of biofuel has the potential to 
change high-performance architecture. This paper will examine 
current information on microalgae bioreactive facades, give a 
survey of prior studies on the performance of these unique façade 
systems, present the status quo, and identify gaps in theory and 
practice. Finally, the effectiveness of microalgae facades as solar 
thermal collectors is examined, along with some research 
suggestions for the future.
