Dust is more than just a nuisance in the home; the Solar Dust Fence is a proposal for handling the excessive, air-polluting dust that often plagues construction sites and the surrounding areas.
Current construction sites have very low tech solutions for the dust that gets stirred up. They cover buildings in tarps to contain dust and have ventilation inside for the workers. As one might expect, this does little to keep dust from the outside environment. The Solar Dust Fence is a self-sustaining vacuum that will more effectively handle construction dust.
The system is like the old-fashioned tarps, however the surrounding material is made from flexible solar panels. These panels keep the dust inside the building while also powering vacuums that suck up the particulate matter, which can potentially be recycled into new concrete or bricks.
Solar-Powered Dust Barriers
The Solar Dust Fence is a Self-Sustaining Dust Vacuum for Construction
Trend Themes
1. Self-sustaining Construction Dust Barriers - Opportunity for developing technology to reduce air pollution and improve safety at construction sites.
2. Flexible Solar Panel Innovation - Opportunity for new product development and increased adoption of solar technology in the construction industry.
3. Recycling Construction Waste - Opportunity for implementing sustainable waste management practices in the construction industry using vacuum technology.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - Development of self-sustaining construction dust barrier technology for safer and cleaner construction sites.
2. Solar Technology - Increased adoption of flexible solar panels in the construction industry as potential building materials and power sources.
3. Waste Management - Integration of vacuum technology in construction to manage and recycle construction waste with possible cost-saving advantages.
