The invention relates to a device (1) fixing a support structure for at least one solar panel, in particular a support rail (23) of a support structure for at least one solar panel (24), to a cormgated roof (20) comprising at least one cormgated roof plate (21), said device (1) defines a receiving space (7) for receiving at least part of a crest (C) of at least one corrugated roof plate (21) and being configured for co-action with at least one fastening element for fastening of the device (1) onto the corrugated roof (20).

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, device, and/or manufacture that is configured to operably manage a flow of storm water that enters a drainage system of a roof and comprises one or more of a retention layer configured to retain storm water, a friction layer configured to delay a peak flow of the storm water into the drainage system, and a detention layer.

A plant surface structure includes an array of plastic base elements, each base element having a deck carried by a series of pillar elements. The deck is provided with at least a number of the pillar elements having an open top end in the deck. A membrane is placed over the deck and is provided with slits or cut-outs or water permeable elements, such that they open into at least some of the open top ends of the pillar elements. A growing medium is provided on the membrane and a growing medium is provided in the pillar elements, the growing medium in the pillar elements preferably being in fluid contact with the growing medium on the membrane.

A roof greening, wind breaking and vibration suppressing apparatus, and a building. The roof greening, wind breaking and vibration suppressing apparatus comprises a plant container (11) and a buffering device (20). The buffering device (20) comprises elastic vibration isolation components (21) and damping buffer components (22). Soil (12), water (14), fertilizers (13), a plant and the plant container (11) constitute an inertial body (10). The inertial body (10), the elastic vibration isolation components (21), and the damping buffer components (22) constitute a system mounted on a building. When an earthquake and strong wind strike, the inertial body (10) moves with respect to the building under the action of inertia, each elastic vibration isolation component (21) and each damping buffer component (22) absorb energy and achieve the effect of vibration isolation, passive energy dissipation or tuned vibration absorption, thereby enhancing the earthquake resistance and wind-breaking capability of the building, and expanding the conventional roof greening function.

The invention relates to a planar textile drainage element for preventing moisture to accumulate around plants, as well as to the use thereof.

The invention relates to a paver supporting apparatus. The paver supporting apparatus has a pedestal with a top plate. A modular grid is positioned on the top plate and has a ballast receiving opening and a ballast is located in the ballast receiving opening.

A hollow brick includes a bottom wall, two side walls projecting from the bottom wall, a plurality of intermediate walls projecting from the bottom wall between the side walls, a top wall opposite to the bottom wall and connecting the side walls and the intermediate walls, and a plurality of ventilation holes bounded by the bottom wall, the side walls, the intermediate walls and the top wall. The bottom wall has a plurality of foot portions projecting downwardly and spaced apart from each other. A bottom groove is formed between two adjacent ones of the foot portions.

A ventilating and heat dissipating assembly for a roof includes hollow bricks, first corrugated plates and second corrugate plates. Each first corrugated plate spans a gap between two pairs of the hollow bricks that are spaced apart along intersecting first and second directions. Each second corrugated plate spans a gap formed between two of the hollow bricks spaced apart in the first direction and a gap between two of the first corrugated plates spaced apart in the second direction.
