Cercetătorii au găsit o metodă inedită de a combate canicula și de a reduce folosirea aerului condiționat: Apa de ploaie colectată de pe acoperișuri

Rainwater collected from rooftops can effectively combat heat waves and reduce energy consumption, according to a study from the University of Manchester. The research suggests that strategically using rainwater for cooling buildings can lower urban temperatures and decrease reliance on air conditioning. The study, which used Tokyo as a model, emphasizes the importance of timing in applying the water for optimal cooling effects. Researchers found that excessive water use or oversized tanks can diminish the system's efficiency. This method could become increasingly vital as climate change leads to hotter summers, offering valuable insights for urban planning.
