Descripción del proyecto
Un sistema de protección solar inteligente autoalimentado para edificios
Las fachadas modernas de los edificios eficientes en materia de energía cuentan con sistemas de protección solar inteligentes que pueden autoreconfigurarse automáticamente, de forma que ayudan a regular la luminosidad y la temperatura del interior del edificio en relación con las condiciones externas. El proyecto AIRSHADE, financiado con fondos europeos, está desarrollando el primer sistema de protección solar accionado por aire para edificios del mundo. Se trata de un sistema en el que, cuando la luz del sol calienta la fachada, el aire de dentro del sistema se calienta, se dilata y genera presión que expulsa el accionador y abre las contraventanas. Cuando el entorno se enfría (o la intensidad del sol disminuye), las contraventanas se cierran permitiendo que penetre más luz. En comparación con otros sistemas modernos, el sistema AIRSHADE se abre y se cierra en función de la intensidad del sol y regula así la temperatura del edificio, lo cual hace que no se necesite electricidad ni sensores integrados.
Objetivo
Airshade has developed and patented a self-sustaining and eco-friendly responsive
shading system constructed from sustainable materials, that follows the idea of thermo-sensitivity to
solar exposure and requires only air pressure to operate. Responsive solar shading systems have been
emerging for the past few decades, but they are all controlled by electricity, cables and motors.
Airshade is improving on the current state of the art through a responsive solar shading system which
reduces costs, in terms of production, installation and maintenance, carbon footprint, as it is built
from sustainable materials, and energy consumption used for residential heating and cooling, all
while requiring no electricity to operate.
Airshade is addressing the needs of a significant global market consisting of professionals
involved in the construction industry, such as architects, engineers, planners, builders and building
consultants, as well as billions of end-users - people who live and work in buildings. There are
hundreds of thousands of architects, builders and engineers/consultants in the EU only, while end-
user are essentially all house owners, which means millions in the EU and billions globally.
Professionals in the construction industry need to achieve today’s required sustainability standards by
applying efficient building products and systems, while end-users can benefit from a cost-efficient
responsive shading system. To this very large pool of potential customers, Airshade offers an
innovative responsive shading system which significantly improves upon current solutions, delivering
the same benefits as the most advanced state of the art, but without all the inconveniences and at a
very competitive price. Created by a diverse, young and most importantly, environmentally conscious team, Airshade is a
pioneering, award-winning concept.Working in the most resource-consuming industry on the planet, Airshade considers sustainability as default rather than an exception.
