Brease is an energy-saving, thermal insulating, and modular panel system designed to be adapted to the facades of houses. It does not require any energy to operate and provides the thermal comfort of its users, especially in hot weather, without increasing their energy expenditure. The product, composed of clay bricks and galvanized steel structure, offers long-term use thanks to its modular and easy-to-maintain components. The panels become a vertical garden over time with the help of plants that grow from the pots inside the bricks, thus contributing to the shading and cooling purpose.
