1)Treating the area, the highway as a whole with the viaduct and not alter the current structure,
2)Designing comfortable and functional sideways enabling local residents reach the area easily.
3)Designing the roof of the building with an 30º angle to receive the maximum solar energy available. This 30º angle was calculated according to the geographical location of Italy and climate conditions. Roofs are designed with photovoltaic materails, cost detailed are as follows:
2100 m²( construction area) x 2000 Euros(cost per m²) = 4.200.000 Euros
1.800.000 Euros x 10 Viaducts = 18.000.000 Euros (Total Cost) + 5.000.000 Euros (Cost of paysage for the area) Total Cost: 27.200.000 Euros
With the usage of 1782 m² area used in roof structure, the building will produce 1.76 times more energy than it requires to use, thus setting a good example of how using reproducable energy resources can be implemented successfully into buildings.
