A "green" solution for roof design

The negative effects of climate change are increasingly evident. The number of unusual weather phenomena increased each year. Therefore, the need to "greenen" houses and buildings to meet the "green building" standard has been paid more and more attention by architects. "Greening" here is understood in both meanings: adding trees to each design and using green materials, reducing heat loss and being environmentally friendly, reducing waste ...

For roof design, a product is considered "green" when it meets all three criteria:
1. Save energy
2. Planting trees
3. Install a solar battery

With experience in developing cover systems, by actually constructing roof and façade works, E-power Engineering Co., Ltd. has proposed the use of aluminum alloy roof (aluminum roof) for Green projects have received great attention from architects and investors. Aluminum alloy roof system provided by European Construction Technology Co., Ltd fully meets 3 green criteria for a roof design:

1. Energy-saving aluminum roof

As we all know, in the structure of the aluminum roof system there is an insulation layer of at least 50mm thick. Rock wool insulation sheet, also known as Rock Rock wool or rock wool, is

2. Aluminum roof - "green" roof

Usually the solution to planting trees on the roof will be: use concrete roofs then spread more waterproofing layers and plant trees. This solution has the advantage of being simple and familiar with architects and contractors but has great disadvantages in terms of waterproofing and structure.

A concrete roof system and waterproofing layer, the soil usually weighs up to 270-280kg / m2, so the structure of the building must be large enough. The waterproofing layers are usually mounted manually, so there are frequent leakage points into the house or building, greatly affecting the usability of the building and its structure.

With a weight of 13kg / m2 and a load of 175 kg / m2, the aluminum roof reduces the load to a quarter of the structure of the column girder. Each of the roof panels has a height up to 65mm, a roof width of 400-500mm, making drainage very easy but a real obstacle to leakage of water into the interior. Therefore, aluminum roof is really a suitable choice for the idea of ​​"grass on the roof" or "green building" of the architects.


3. Installing aluminum roofs and generating electricity - why not?

The production of electricity was formerly from the state and departments, but today, thanks to the development of "solar batteries" that even in households, each building ... is also completely able to produce electricity. produce electricity. The option of installing directly on the roof of street houses, suburban or urban constructions that used to be difficult now has become easier than ever.
 Epower is also a pioneer in installing solar battery systems for aluminum roofs in its factory.


For aluminum roofs, just by adding clips directly on the roof waves, it is possible to install the battery system.
The actual use of Epower shows that, with many benefits: a 50-year one-time investment, no carbon emissions, year-round efficiency, no need for much maintenance, active power, living and selling. On the contrary, the national grid is redundant, ... Solar power on the roof is really an attractive investment channel for investors of public works, works with surface area. big.
Thanks to such "green" points, the vertical aluminum roof system provided by E-Power Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is used in many key projects such as Da Nang airport, sports stadium. Bac Giang province ... and most recently was the investor of Dong Anh Cultural House. And E-Power's aluminum roof products will continue to participate in more green projects.
