An ecological heating system for buildings through the roof. The idea of solar thermal capture It is by Hubert Labrousse, a French geologist who has patented a system to heat the houses thanks to the heat accumulated by ardtento.
The roof as a resource
Many are trying to find solutions that use the heat of the sun directly through the roof. The main proposals come from the world of photovoltaics, which is presenting increasingly efficient and design innovations. The solar tiles have been designed to cover and make Swiss historic buildings sustainable, but also to cover canopies for solar centers, with both aesthetically integrated solutions in urban environments.
The heart of the invention
The patent, deposited by Labrousse and visible on Google Patent, describes tiles designed to optimize heating and reduce the emissions produced. Thanks to a mechanism that controls the air intake and temperature, the system manages to improve energy efficiency, while reducing the production of polluting gases.
The special tile integrates an air canalization system. The tile is made of slate, a material resistant to high temperatures, and is designed to easily adapt to existing structures. The material captures the heat of the sun and conveys it in special aluminum lamellae, similar to a “granted radiator”, which transfer the heat to the air inside the house.
Jacania is a naturally insulating material, capable of maintaining a stable internal temperature, reducing heat dispersion during the winter and limiting overheating in the summer. Aluminum slats, on the other hand, improve the reflection of sun heat, contributing to greater energy efficiency. To ensure the operation of the system, excellent isolation of the building is obviously requested.
