    Abstract: A plant cultivation apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a cabinet defining a cultivation chamber in which a plurality of beds are accommodated, and a liquid supply module provided in the cultivation chamber to supply liquid to at least one of the plurality of beds. A controller determines when to supply liquid to the plurality of beds, determines, based on information collected by the sensor, whether liquid is present in the plurality of beds in response to determining to supply liquid to the plurality of beds, and sequentially perform a liquid supply operation to one or more beds, of the plurality of beds, in which liquid is not present.

    Abstract: Facades, roofs, and greenhouses that may capable of self-cooling are provided. For example, a façade for a greenhouse may include an internal glass wall and an external glass wall in a parallel plane to the internal glass wall and separated from the internal glass wall by a first distance. The distance may be configured to permit passage of a heat transfer liquid. The internal glass wall can include a first face, facing the external glass wall. The first face of the internal glass wall can include a reflective surface configured to reflect solar radiation into the heat transfer liquid when in operation.
