Retractable Roofs: A Sustainable Solution Course Overview:

A common misconception is that retractable roofs are only used for aquatic centers when in fact, the range of applications is far broader. In fact, retractable roofs are an ideal solution for many building types and are a key strategy for creating green buildings, whether new or existing. A retractable roof transforms an indoor space into an outdoor space with the push of a button.

Retractable roofs promote the extensive use of daylighting and natural ventilation. Not only does this save significant amounts of energy, but it also contributes to the health and well-being of building occupants. A well-ventilated space is desirable for reducing the risk of airborne disease transmission. In this time of COVID-19, a retractable roof can help building managers provide spaces that feel healthy and safe.
