2024 - CD SOLAR

PROBLEMS OF THE PROJECT
The main problem in this project was to provide daylight to users in tenement houses located at the intersection of Nawrot and Colonel Streets. Jan Kiliński in Łódź. The densely populated city of Łódź was caused by the increase in population at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in tightly located residential, industrial, and service buildings. The streets of Łódź are perpendicular to each other according to the sides of the world, which completely limits the sun exposure of the northern elevations. Due to the high shading of the apartments, users have low mood, impaired concentration, and poor resistance to stress. According to research conducted by ARC Rynek, factors that improve comfort in the use of Polish flats are: privacy (22%), as well as factors related to a healthy home, i.e., fresh air (16%), no noise (15%), and daylight (12%). 78% of respondents noticed an improvement in their well-being when they were in rooms with plenty of natural light. On the other hand, in rooms without access to natural light and fresh air, 33% of respondents felt tired and 24% felt depressed.

IDEA
The modular solar CD system is a solution that allows for the maximum use of daylight in the dense buildings of the city of Łódź, improving the well-being of its inhabitants. The modular components of the CD piles in this design minimize the negative impact on the environment by using recycled materials. The design of the modular system allows installation on any building where there is poor street sunlight. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of life of residents in dense urban areas by providing daylight.

SOLUTIONS
The single CD system on the south facade of the building reflects light, illuminating the north facades of the buildings. By mounting on the CD, mini solar panels can draw the energy to follow the sun all day long. The ball bearing mounted in the main profile of the solar CD allows it to rotate in different directions independently. A single board is mounted with a metal profile directly to the wall of the facade of the building.
