Paris will have heated terraces with parasols fuelled with solar energy
The approximately ten thousand Parisian cafés and restaurants with terrace are likely to have, in the near future, their heated terraces with parasols fuelled with solar power during the winter months.The recent law that banned smoking inside these spaces made smokers if congregassem on the terraces and the municipal authorities of the French capital are now trying to solve the problem of the cold. "There are no problems in summer, but in winter it is cold and it is necessary to provide heating to customers," says Georges-Etienne Faure, Jean-Louis Missika Adviser, Deputy Mayor, responsible for the areas of innovation, research and universities, CITES The Guardian."But it's crazy warm the outer space," explains Faure. Allied to this complication there is still the problem caused by gas heaters, which liberate considerable amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. After the municipality realized that there was no French company that could solve the problems the Esplanade in Paris, launched a contest to find a solution. The winner was a small American design company, Amorphica, specializing in sustainable solutions futuristic.This company presented solar powered umbrellas that not only heats the terraces of Paris, but also absorb the cigarette smoke of customers who now cannot occupy the interior spaces of the establishments. According to the spokesman for the Amorphica, Chandally, Leemor urban umbrella "was conceived as a solution to the cities provide an urban convenience that creates interactive and comfortable spaces throughout the year. For example, the parasol can be easily fixed in existing urban facilities, such as bus stops, providing a space cosy semi-enclosed sea that improves the experience of waiting for a bus in winter ".According to Chandally, the parasol "heats and uses renewable energy efficiently." "The parasol integrates a motion sensor, sensitive solar panels, solar panels and a thermodynamic space insulator. Light sensors allow the parasol follow the natural movement of the Sun and maximize energy absorption ".According to Faure, the municipality will experience the sun umbrellas and test them and, "above all, understand if Parisians like them". "The experience is crucial. If Parisians like the umbrellas, let's apply them on a large scale ", indicates the Advisor..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/
