Abstract

In our research our aim is to reduce the energy consumption. We transmit its importance and we make proposals making use of domotics with which we reduce the electric and water expense. Furthermore, we have built a prototype and make sketches in order to contrast and verify our ideas which rely on:
  • Why do we allow to heat up a house if later we heat it up? Proposals:
  1. Textile facade. Its aim is to reduce the heat of the building caused by the solar incidence.
  2. Vegetal roof. As well as the textile facade, it reduces the heat of the building caused by the same reason. Besides, it helps to clean air, especially in big cities.
  • Why do we spend energy purifying water if later we throw it away when it is still clean? Proposal:
  1. Double pipe system. The water that is still clean after being used will be able to be guided to a tank for its reuse.
  2. Inverse gable roof. With it, rainwater will be accumulated in the tank.
*With the water of the tank we will water plants of the vegetal roof, we filll cisterns, we spray it on the facade in order to lower the temperature...
  • In case of flood, How can we avoid the water filtration and, in consequence, lose property? Proposal:
  1. Pneumatic door. In case of flood it will be actioned provoking a pump out of a pneumatic tyre making the door waterproof.
