Green roofs are not new. But those manufactured by ROEF are different.
In the Netherlands, there are more than 8 million homes. On these, there is an enormous amount of square kilometers of roof space. Space that can be much better utilized than just for solar panels.
The green roofs of ROEF are multifunctional. They not only generate energy but also contribute to more nature in the city. This enhances biodiversity, prevents waterlogging, and mitigates heat stress. Theta Vision is working together with the ROEF project to make this a reality.
Internet of Things
We recognize the ecological significance of green roofs while acknowledging the challenges they pose in terms of maintenance. Our commitment to sustainable urban living led us to develop remote sensing modules designed to enhance the efficiency and viability of green roof monitoring.
Our sensor modules continuously collect data on the condition of green roofs. This information is seamlessly transmitted to a remote server, allowing for real-time tracking of the roof's status.
Cost-effective maintenance
We take green roofs to the next level by implementing remote control capabilities. With our system, we can automatically activate sprinklers and manage water supply in rain barrels. This intelligent approach not only ensures the vitality of the greenery but also acts as a proactive measure against water-related challenges, such as heavy downpours.
Leveraging data analytics, we go beyond monitoring. Our system intelligently analyzes incoming data, enabling continuous improvement and refinement. Maintenance alerts are strategically sent only when necessary, reducing costs for maintenance companies and promoting a sustainable, economically viable solution.
Biodiversity
Taking our ecological efforts a step further, Theta Vision has developed an automated system capable of detecting and tracking birds that choose our green roofs as nesting sites. This innovative technology ensures minimal disturbance to the avian residents while contributing to our understanding of urban wildlife dynamics.
