| contents | <p><strong>The Problem:</strong> Global freshwater scarcity affects over 2 billion people, a crisis driven by urbanization and climate change. Traditional water sources are strained, creating an urgent need for innovative, decentralized water generation technologies.</p> <p><strong>The Solution:</strong> This paper details a complete design for an autonomous, building-integrated atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) system. The system uses a high-performance PEG-SiO₂-LiCl nanocomposite to efficiently capture moisture from the air, even in semi-arid conditions. The collected water is then purified to meet WHO drinking water standards.</p> <p><strong>Key Innovations:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>High-Efficiency Sorbent:</strong> A novel PEG-SiO₂-LiCl nanocomposite for superior moisture sorption.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Adaptive Facade:</strong> Sensor-driven mechanical subsystems that adapt to environmental conditions, increasing water collection efficiency by up to 20% compared to static systems.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Energy Self-Sufficiency:</strong> Integrated photovoltaic and wind energy systems provide over 10 kWh/day, making the system fully autonomous and off-grid capable.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Complete Water Purification:</strong> A multi-stage purification train ensures the final water is potable and safe for consumption.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Award-Winning Recognition:</strong><br><span>This invention has received international recognition for its novelty and potential impact.
