Roofs make a large area of cities and in many of them that space is not used for anything. There is plenty of evidence that the temperature inside cities is higher due to a phenomenon called heat-island. Green roofs can help reduce it and bring other benefits such as:
- Improved stormwater management.
- Reduced urban heat island effect.
- Reduced dust levels.
- Insulated buildings.
- Reduced CO2 emissions.
- Extended roof life.
- Improved visual impact.
- New gathering places for communities.
We need to get as much solar power as possible and make buildings and communities more sustainable This is why we are building a system that can make it easier for citizens to build and manage green roofs automatically.
Collect rain probability and activate a solenoid valve to evacuate the water from the reservoir in case the probability of rain is very high.
You can use a GPS device connected to a Raspberry Pi or get the location via network to know in which municipality is located the green roof and make requests to the AEMET API.
If this probability exceeds 60% a valve (for example a solenoid) connected to the raspberry pi would be activated to evacuate all the accumulated water.
