This post is not exactly about agriculture, but it does contain building designs using living and biodegradable materials like fungi.

He mentioned triple-glazed windows. This is part of an energy-efficient design that limits the cold air from entering the building. As these buildings become airtight they need mechanical ventilation heat recovery systems. These are systems that allow for heat exchange between incoming and outgoing airflow.

A net-zero environment also needs plants and sunlight to be a healthy environment. And, tall buildings have a limited amount of solar resources. The challenge is from many-storied buildings comes from the small space for solar panels on the roof. However, tall buildings do have a smaller footprint. All these factors should be considered for each site.
