| Résumé : |
A seemingly unending series of heat records and more heavy rain events are the effects of climate change, with fatal consequences for cities and their inhabitants. Flooding and urban heat islands cause more than just the population to suffer ; building and infrastructure damage due to flooding costs billions of euros in Germany alone every year. A possible solution has now been found at the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart/Germany : Lightweight, textile facade elements called HydroSkin absorb rainwater and release water during hot spells to cool building interiors and urban spaces through evaporation. |
| Note de contenu : |
- Fig. 1 : The core element of HydroSkin is a spacer fabric, 2 textile layers which are kept apart by threads and thus well-ventilated
- Fig. 2 : The lightweight textile facade elements HydroSkin absorb the rainwater that hits the building envelope at an angle and release water in hot periods in order to cool the building interior and urban space naturally through evaporation
- Fig. 3 : Currently, the hydroactive facade elements are being tested under actual weather conditions on the University of Stuttgart's D1244 high-rise |
