Description of the project:

In this project, we intend to develop an innovative and sustainable system of green roofs based on the metallic structure for parking lots shading with capacity for energy production and rainwater use. The solution to be developed will be a hybrid system that integrates modules of green coverage, photovoltaic panels with solar tracking and system of rainwater use. This project, which began in September 2016, lasts 24 months and involves Constálica (company) and ITeCons and ANQIP (R&D entities).

Objectives:

Theoretical characterization of the solution (water, energy, mechanical, environmental and system durability); Definition of the modular manufacturing process of the metal structure and the solar tracking mechanism; Application of prototype in laboratory and in-situ environment and its experimental and numerical characterization (water, energy and mechanical behavior); Definition of guidelines and rules of application of the solution; Production of technical-scientific documentation and demonstration products.

Main Activities:

The main activities to be carried out during the project are: preliminary studies to analyze the market and define the requirements and requirements to be met by the solution; The development and specification of the components of the innovative system; The Industrial theoretical of the system; Conducting an experimental validation campaign; Dissemination and promotion of project results.
