Future sustainable urban settings are envisioned with an emphasis on structures that actively support sustainable water usage in addition to achieving energy efficiency. This chapter discusses the urgent issues facing urban water systems in the face of growing water shortages, examining how creative passive solutions, such as fog collecting, might enhance conventional water supplies and raise building energy efficiency. It looks into fog harvesting's working principles, necessary meteorological conditions, and use in both urban and rural settings. To demonstrate its potential, case examples and statistics from water collecting are examined. The integration of fog harvesting into building envelopes—like double-skin facades—is given special consideration. By providing shade, these facades may collect water and lower building energy use. The chapter concludes with a discussion of fog harvesting technology's drawbacks, effects on urban water use, and possible contributions to the development of a sustainable built environment.
