Descrizione del progetto
Sistema di ombreggiamento per edifici intelligente e autoalimentato
Le facciate dei moderni edifici a risparmio energetico dispongono di sistemi di ombreggiamento intelligenti che possono automaticamente riconfigurarsi, contribuendo a regolare luminosità e temperatura degli interni in relazione alle condizioni esterne. Il progetto AIRSHADE, finanziato dall’UE, sta sviluppando il primo sistema al mondo di ombreggiamento pneumatico per gli edifici. L’idea è che quando la luce del sole riscalda la facciata, l’aria dentro al sistema diventa calda, si espande e genera una pressione che spinge l’attuatore e apre gli oscuratori. Quando l’ambiente si raffredda (o l’intensità del sole diminuisce), gli oscuratori si chiudono, facendo penetrare più luce. Rispetto ai sistemi all’avanguardia, il sistema di AIRSHADE si apre e si chiude in base all’intensità del sole, regolando così la temperatura dell’edificio, senza avere bisogno di energia o di sensori incorporati per funzionare.
Obiettivo
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.
