Rainwater Hog
The Rainwater HOG is a decentralized water storage system using water-filled building blocks.
Green spaces on buildings can be added to facades, as well as roofs. Green facades can serve as shade, cooling buildings and urban space through transpiration. Species such as moss are particularly well suited for green facades. This is because they have rhizoids instead of roots and therefore do not require deep soils to grow. The company, a Technical University of Delft spin-off, has developed a patent-pending bioreceptive concrete solution. Once hardened, the bioreceptive concrete’s surface is conducive to moss growth. Specific characteristics making Respyre’s concrete bioreceptive include its porosity and water retainment, micropore texture, acidity and nutrients that are included in the mixture.

Have you initiated contacts or technological transfer agreements?The WIPO GREEN database is a free, solutions oriented, global innovation catalogue that connects needs for solving environmental or climate change problems with tangible solutions. The database consists of user uploads of needs and solutions, green technology patents from the WIPO Patentscope database, imports from select partner organizations, relevant knowledge material, and relevant expert profiles. Some of the unique features of the database are: Always-on AI-assisted auto-matching, user uploads tracing and alerts, full-text search for solutions based on long need descriptions, and the Patent2Solution search function for finding commercial applications of a patent. Free registration is required for uploading.

Please help us by letting us know if you have initiated contacts or technological transfer agreements or similar through use of the database.
