Benefits limitations

Significant reduction in temperature (up to 15 °C

Increased First Cost - Construction premiums, design and consultation fees, planning, testing and verification

Reduced Life-cycle Cost (Operational, maintenance) - money, water, energy

​

Improved Soil and Air quality

Detection Response

  1. Alarms
  2. Electronic signage - Warnings
  3. Weather detection system
  1. Fire-resistant, durable, eco-friendly material
  2. Electricity located higher off-ground
  3. Permeable pavements = Drainage
