Polluted and warm air is drawn through vertical moss mats, where it is filtered and cooled. Integrated sensors record performance and environmental data in real time. This creates fresh-air zones where they are needed most \u2014 for example, at urban heat islands and air pollution hotspots.<\/p>\n<p>With our Fresh Air Concept, we develop solutions for better air quality and greater quality of stay in urban spaces. Our regenerative, moss-based air filters can not only filter particulate matter from the air passing through them; through evaporation and ventilation, they can also generate a natural cooling effect.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#1e5546;--button_accent_hover_color:#cde6cd;--button_border_hover_color:#cde6cd;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(84,84,84,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(84,84,84,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(216,216,216,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(216,216,216,0);--button_text_transform:uppercase;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"mailto:sales@mygcs.de\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Tell me more!<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h4><strong>Exchange and Momentum: East Germany as a Place to Shape the Future<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The East German Business Summit demonstrated how important open discussions between business, politics, science and practice are \u2014 particularly at a time when economic uncertainty is accompanied by a clear willingness to shape the future.
