The natural air movement effect created by the tall and dense crown of the bamboo pushes aside the air, resulting in higher wind velocity and a cooling effect under the bamboo. This effect is further enhanced by the cooler air temperatures and higher humidity levels created by the microclimate under the bamboo. Bamboo can provide a natural alternative to artificial cooling systems like air conditioners, and contribute to a more comfortable and livable environment for people and animals.
