For the aboriginal time, innovations in blooming architecture can be monitored and their amount measured. Agilewaves' Resource Monitor has been deployed in Hillsborough, CA's LEED Gold Nueva School, and will adviser gas, electricity and baptize output, solar ascribe and the altitude of the Rana Creek active roofs, including storm baptize assimilation and filtration. The Nueva School is committed to teaching our acceptance about animal appulse on the environment, so we are captivated with the deployment of this different innovation The Resource Monitor gives Nueva School a way to admeasurement the appulse of our proactive ecology initiatives and our acceptance a advanced academic apparatus for acquirements about how we can abate altitude change. Additionally, it will be a basic apparatus for the accessories managers to adviser the altitude and ability of the active roof to advance the roof's health. Agilewaves, calm with Rana Creek and the San Francisco Estuary Institute, has alloyed the disciplines of science, technology and design, to bear a band-aid to a cogent and burning problem: quantifying activity decay from barrio that has until now, been absurd to measure We are aflame to be blame the boundaries of the Resource Monitor to drive boundless acceptance of blooming technologies.
Palo Alto, CA -- Agilewaves, Inc., arch provider of attention technology solutions, today appear the deployment of its flagship product, the Resource Monitor™ into the Pre K-8 absolute Nueva School, in Hillsborough, CA. The arrangement is the a lot of all-embracing ecology accessory anytime installed in a academy and will be acclimated to admeasurement and affectation both accepted utilities (gas, electricity and water), and the appulse of avant-garde blooming architectural systems on the buildings' all-embracing carbon footprint. The advice gleaned from the Agilewaves Resource Monitor will be featured in the school's science class and will serve as a apparatus for accessories managers.
Nueva Summary
Based on the accurate Agilewaves Research angle that quantitative acknowledgment drives behavioral change, the Agilewaves Resource Monitor delivers real-time advice about gas, electricity and baptize use so that consumers can accomplish abreast choices about their burning of these utilities. This arrangement aswell measures the appulse of the avant-garde blooming architecture technologies that contributed to the Nueva School acceptable the 2007 AIA architectural architecture award.
The Nueva School's blooming innovations cover a 30 kW solar arrangement and two "living roofs". Designed by ecological architecture close Rana Creek, the school's roofs are buried with built-in grasses and agrarian flowers that not alone bottle the area's accustomed ecosystem, but aswell advice to insulate the buildings, abate the activity appropriate to calefaction and air-conditioned them, abate storm baptize runoff and abbreviate the heat-island effect. The plants called for the Nueva School roofs aswell accommodate a accustomed abode for the endangered Bay Checkerspot butterfly.
Agilewaves and Rana Creek formed with the San Francisco Estuary Institute to actuate the achievement characteristics of the roofs that the Agilewaves Resource Monitor measures, including:
- Thermal insulation and cooling through baptize accident by frondescence and dehydration (evapotranspiration): Agilewaves monitors the temperature, clamminess and clay damp to accommodate absolute time abstracts about the ability and accepted action of the roof for aliment and management. Stormwater mitigation/retention: Agilewaves monitors the breeze of stormwater through the roof. Stormwater filtration: Agilewaves monitors the above of the baptize advancing off the active roof as the clay and roots clarify pollutants.
"The Nueva School is committed to teaching our acceptance about animal appulse on the environment, so we are captivated with the deployment of this different innovation," said Diane Rosenberg, controlling administrator Nueva School. "The Resource Monitor gives Nueva School a way to admeasurement the appulse of our proactive ecology initiatives and our acceptance a advanced academic apparatus for acquirements about how we can abate altitude change. Additionally, it will be a basic apparatus for the accessories managers to adviser the altitude and ability of the active roof to advance the roof's health."
"Agilewaves, calm with Rana Creek and the San Francisco Estuary Institute, has alloyed the disciplines of science, technology and design, to bear a band-aid to a cogent and burning problem: quantifying activity decay from barrio that has until now, been absurd to measure," said Peter Sharer, CEO Agilewaves. "We are aflame to be blame the boundaries of the Resource Monitor to drive boundless acceptance of blooming technologies."
