A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A system for removing snow from a rooftop comprising a plurality of interconnected pipes installed on the rooftop configured to provide a fluidic path to carry heat transfer fluid. The plurality of interconnected pipes forms a framework over the rooftop. A roof cover is attached to the interconnected pipes to cover the rooftop. The heat exchange pump circulates the heat transfer fluid through the interconnected pipes to maintain the temperature of the rooftop cover above the freezing temperature for the snow to melt and slide down from the roof. A solar panel charges a rechargeable battery which is configured to supply power to a heater configured to heat the heat transfer fluid. A controller controls the heater and heat exchange pump to supply the heat transfer fluid to the interconnected pipes to heat the roof cover. The roof cover is a combination of fiber added thermally conductive plastic material and plastic polymer.
