Abstract
The Integrated Roof-Top Greenhouse Building IRTG is a new concept, derived from the conventional roof-top greenhouse, bringing features that boost technical performances and offer us a basic tool able to oppose global warming. By specific devices (water-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps, heat exchangers, water tanks, etc.) IRTGs are harvesting the available renewable energy resources (geo-thermal, solar, wind, etc.) which are stored and managed in an integrated way (Watergy). A ventilation system conveys oxygen enriched air from the greenhouse to the building and carbon dioxide enriched air from the building to the greenhouse. A generic model of this system is presented, along with illustrative simulations. If applied on large scale - the Green-Skyline City - one creates a strong carbon offset mechanism, opposing the global warming, overlapping the most active CO2 source, our cities. The IRTG temperature control demands self-adaptivity and intelligence, which in our approach are provided by fuzzy-interpolative controllers. One obtain such way Intelligent RTGs (iRTG).
