Rainwater Collection and Purification Heating Roof System

Abstract:

The utility of roofs is a focus issue in architecture field. Using roofs to collect and heat rainwater is a reasonable approach. In this paper, a new member that uses glasses and ceramics collect rainwater is introduced. The member is made up of four layers. The glasses are used to collect rainwater and form greenhouses. The black ceramic plates are used to collect sunlight and heat the rainwater. Water vapor is condensed and collected by the bottom ceramic plate. This member with high capacity of collecting rainwater and sunlight absorption is a hopeful roof member.
