Experimental architecture addresses issues of energy poverty by developing innovative and sustainable design solutions that increase access to clean and affordable energy. These solutions are often focused on passive solar design, use of low-energy materials and technologies, and natural ventilation systems that reduce the need for mechanical heating and cooling. Furthermore, experimental architecture can integrate renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal into the design to generate electricity on-site, potentially eliminating energy expenses altogether. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels for energy, experimental architecture can help mitigate the impacts of climate change and create more equitable access to energy resources in communities facing energy poverty.
