One can try to make a 'symbiont' - to use a buildings HVAC (Heating, Ventilation or Air Conditioning) system. The warm air leaving the building inflates and heats the membrane structure. [see 2e picture of how to design an airlock] or any other infrastructure that the inflatable is attached to as a source of power for inflation - instead of just plugging the blower into electricity, to inflate (parts of) the structure - in that way it is more energy efficient, but also the inflatable will change shape depending on the activity inside the building... | One can try to make a 'symbiont' - to use a buildings HVAC (Heating, Ventilation or Air Conditioning) system.

Or even is it possible to get the natural wind streams direct inside the inflatables. | Or even is it possible to get the natural wind streams direct inside the inflatables. |
