M MULTILAYER ROOF SYSTEM
The roof of the structure is made of multilayer lightweight steel fabrication and futureproofing for solar panel
installation is already accounted in the design details. The 3 cm air gap between the Reused terracotta tile and the
roof sheet assists in convective cooling and keeps the structure cool throughout the hot summer.
Qualities/benefits of multi-layer roofing:
• Reduces heat emission and cools naturally through convective process.
• Lightweight and hence the structural expenses are lower.
• Convective cooling is facilitated due to the large volume and the additional span achieved through a lightweight
roof.
• The interiors are much cooler compared to a conventional technology house.
• Recycling and reuse made possible through the use of old terracotta tiles as roof texture.
• GI roof structure and fabrication can future proof the structure for solar panel installation.
• The stainless-steel water tank provides better structural efficiency and improves water quality.
