The Nothern Club is beautiful. Imagine if the Sky Tower was a vertical green garden all the way up. It would be truly iconic – especially if natives were used. It could bring the Tui’s back to the CBD. How hard would it be….? Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
It cools by preserving the nights moisture inside the brick/block work, and preventing it being quickly lost the next day, Then as the moisture is drawn out by heating during the day, this evaporation uses the heat inside the brickwork, which cools the brickwork further, making the building cooler inside. In winter as you say, the leaves drop off so this effect is reduced.
