Description du projet
Un système de protection solaire intelligent et auto-alimenté pour les bâtiments
Les façades de bâtiments modernes et efficaces du point de vue énergétique disposent de systèmes de protection solaire intelligents qui peuvent se reconfigurer automatiquement, permettant de réguler la luminosité et la température de l’intérieur du bâtiment par rapport aux conditions extérieures. Le projet AIRSHADE, financé par l’UE, met au point le premier système de protection solaire pneumatique au monde pour les bâtiments. Lorsque la lumière du soleil réchauffe la façade, l’air présent à l’intérieur du système se réchauffe également, se dilate et accumule de la pression qui pousse le vérin et ouvre les volets. Lorsque l’environnement se refroidit (ou que l’intensité solaire diminue), les volets se ferment, facilitant l’entrée de davantage de lumière. Par rapport aux systèmes de pointe, le système d’AIRSHADE s’ouvre et se ferme en fonction de l’intensité solaire, régulant ainsi la température du bâtiment, et ce, sans nécessiter ni électricité ni capteurs intégrés.
Objectif
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.
