This green air conditioner concept is a design proposal for China-based company, Hisense. The internal system of an air con always produces a large amount of water due to condensation whether it’s being used to heat or cool a room. The existing air cons in the market always resolve this excess water by draining or evaporating it into the air. This green Hisense AC concept provides a new idea to avoid wasting water by collecting and reuse it to grow grass horizontally.
Designer : François Hurtaud
We are agree that this innovative idea will not only purify the air, but also bring a touch of greenery in the room. Green Hisense AC concept has been designed with a LED located behind the front window to illuminate the grass and create beautiful soft lighting in the room.
great idea how to not waste anything. It's a perfect cycle!
contrary to what the comment above suggests, it's not a perfect cycle, as you are constantly adding water, so at some point water will have to come out of the system. – What you have done is to find a way to store water in a "natural tank", but still needs to be emptied once filled up.
Well, that puts a whole new twist on the idea of fresh air. Honestly, it’s about time someone came up with an idea like this for AC’s.
That’s something you don’t see everyday. When was the last time you saw any device that was both figuratively and literally green?
