MRE

The Multifunctional Roof Edge is a building technology product that allows for smart renewable energy generation on the roof of the buildings. While you can harvest both wind and solar power, you still keep a free roof area for additional activities.

It embeds both functional, smart design and energy power as following:

• solar photovoltaic front and photovoltaic or solar thermal back
• wind energy harvesting through MRE-hybrid
• energy storage using battery and heat buffer hosting
• lighting protection, anchor points and roof edge facade safety
• air conditioning or ventilation embedded space
• rain water storage
• maintenance monorail
• bee/insect housing
• antenna/anti-collision/weather station/video surveillance options

This is pretty great on how a roof can be extended and made to harvest energy from wind and solar, store water and become a green building.
