Smart Maintenance and monitoring system

Rainwater harvesting technology and Gray water system

Adding extra Acoustic and Thermal Insulation to the building. Based on European Acoustic and Thermal Standards; the panels will add extra acoustic and thermal insulations on the buildings due to the special shape and its thickness.

Simplicity of installation. It has been specially designed to comfort and ease the installation, which will decrease the labor costs and time of the construction that lead to save costs.

Fire retardant. One of the most important considerations in the construction products is safety. Therefore, a study has been conducted to choose a material that in the case of fire, doesn’t spread it to the whole building as well as in the worst case scenario, it wouldn’t make toxic smokes.

To STOP Fire. The system is also equipped with temperature sensors that depends on the general city temperature, if it raise more than a standard level, it will release the stored water on top of the building to cool down the panels, which it will help preventing from fire to spread or turn it down completely, in case if the fire source is on the facades.

100% Recyclable materials. One of the other important considerations in choosing the material was being an environmentally friendly product with recyclability. Very small space to occupy (20 cm to maximum 30 cm). Reasonable price. Very lightweight. Durable. The material and chemical used in the product, have both lifetime durability.

Materials are included but not limited to:

- Polymer material, preferably ETFE, Polycarbonate or a mixture thereof.

- The substrate may be reinforced with fiberglass further fibers.

- A coating of comprising Ti0 ₂ , these are the nano-chemical materials that absorbs and transforms pollution into harmless substances. The main use of Ti02 will be to make the panels none-stick against the dirt and pollution absorbed in the process and simply being washed.

Ti0 ₂ or Titanium Dioxide, also known as Titanium (IV) oxide or Titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula Ti0 ₂ . It is used for the photocatalytic air purification. Oxygen (O) of the Titanium Oxide reacts with water in the air (H20) hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions are formed which oxidize volatile organic compounds in the air and eliminate microorganisms adsorbed on the catalyst surface. Organic substances, like germs and volatile organic compounds, are held together by carbon-carbon, carbon-oxygen or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Oxidizers chop these bonds and cut the molecule into smaller compounds which are broken over and over until only carbon dioxide and water are left.

This photocatalytic purifier can eliminate particles up to approximately 0.01 microns from air. CaC0 ₃ or Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaC0 ₃ . It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals caicite and aragonite and is the main component of pearls and the shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs. This chemical prove to absorb C02 very effectively and will be one of the chemicals mixed in the water storage on top of the building. The water is then used to clean the surface of panels intermittently. The surfaces as well as the water is ionized to remove 802 and the water may include CaCo3, TI02 and/or Perovskites inorganic compounds such as KTaOS and or lecithin as well as active carbon powder. The type of chemicals can be different depends on the type of targeted pollution to remove.

One of the other reasons of mixing these two substances is to prevent Ti0 ₂ to produce any toxic substances while purifying the air, which CaC0 ₃ can simply handle as well as CaC0 ₃ has its own effects on purifying the air.

The panel dimensions are variable, flexible and it can be provided as one square meter panels. Therefore but not limited to, Width: 100cm x Length: 100cm x Height: 8 to 30cm (Due to ease & flexibility of construction and design)

Colors: Variable, preferably translucent or transparent or semi-transparent material.

UV needed: 1 Watt per square meter (provided by sunlight or daylight).
