In the next ten years, temperatures will continue to rise due to the impact of global warming, and along with the exponentially expanding energy crisis, the aging population in Italy will be among the most negatively affected by this situation. At this point, southern Italy, with its old buildings and warm climate, will need low-impact, sustainable and adaptable solutions to improve the energy efficiency of its residential buildings, thus ensuring the thermal comfort of the energy-deprived public.

In this scenario, building renovation will reduce energy costs and urban heat island effects and indirectly change energy usage habits. It can have significant positive social, environmental and economic impacts when done with smart solutions.

Brease is an easy-breezy way of improving the energy efficiency of buildings. It is a product-service designed to revitalize buildings with a breathable green facade and ensure affordability for home renovation. Brease, which is made of ceramic modules and easily mounted on the wall with a metal structure, acts as a shading panel that prevents direct sunlight from entering the house and allows the refreshed cool air to enter through the balcony or windows thanks to the plants on it.
