SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT   Summary of the project The project can be synthetically defined as the replacement of traditional tiles by serially connected modules. At this latitude (central Europe) it is possible to obtain hot water for sanitary use 9 months a year. During the remaining months this system becomes a sure supplement to the heating system. It may be interesting to note that in a house with a covered area of 150 square metres, the quantity of available water is about 1300 litres. I think that this project can be applied to residence buildings with up to 4 dwellings or flats and to public buildings such as small sport or recreational centres; but the versatility of the project makes it exploitable in several ways. It may be interesting to note also that: during the summer the water can absorb an appreciable quantity of heat, preventing it from getting into the dwelling: during the winter, on the contrary, the modules can be emptied so as to form an insulating air space, preventing cold air from entering the house; we should also take into account the availability of a fairly good quantity of water in case of emergency, e.g. fire. Therefore no more quarry materials, but a rationalisation of the structure which becomes an active component and the certainty of saving energy which helps to improve the quality of life.
