Prefabricated roof structure and erection method

摘要

A prefabricated sawtooth roof assembled from a plurality of roof modules houses solar energy collector panels which comprise a part of a solar energy collector system wholly enclosed within a building envelope. Each roof module comprises a glazed, insulated, watertight unit and may also include other shop installed mechanicals such as plumbing, heating, ventilating, lighting and electrical equipment. Each roof module has at least one structurally hinged panel section which is collapsed for highway transportation and pivoted to erection position as the module is hoisted from its carrier to the top of a building wall or other supporting structure.
