Title of Talk: Advanced Methodologies for Modeling and Simulation of Roof-Top Greenhouses
Abstract of Talk
The presentation describes the concept and the mathematical model of an intelligent greenhouse and proposed the concept of a green building. This new approach is designed to replace the roofs with intelligent rooftop greenhouses. They are connected with the interior of the building in order to improve the building’s metabolism. This way it is possible to organize integrated management for energy, water, and gases. The control will be done in a smart manner. Such buildings with low carbon footprint will help develop the future Smart Cities.
