Week 10: Our Patent

What is Our Patent?

Our patent was created by and it is integrated system of filtration, disinfection, and organic compound removal viable in small spaces, based on Solar Optics-Based Active Panels (Soap) For Greywater Reuse And Integrated Thermal (Grit) Building Control . The product is a set of panels placed inside the facade on the exterior walls of your home/building that is connected to the water system of your property. Those panels are composed of glass surfaces filled with nanoparticles that react with the sunlight to filter the water you are using every day. Besides recycling your water, our panels have the ability to act as a thermal mass. The disinfected water is stocked and heated up by the sun in the facades of your walls through the day allowing our system to control daily temperature swings by releasing the heated water under the slabs of the floor at night.

Why is it special, what are its claims?

Ultimately, this patent provides technology for an integrated greywater reuse and thermal control system that reduces water consumption and heating energy consumption. Currently, existing technologies address these problems through separate units but this patent ensures a combined unit. Additionally, most products on the market take up way too much space and cannot be commercially implemented into houses. This product claims to be functional without the need for large space and lots of pipes because of its ability to increase water flow.
