Abstract

An inventive and environmentally friendly solution to urban cooling, water management, and environmental issues is the roof sprinkler cooling system that recycles greywater. Through roof-mounted sprinklers, the system provides evaporative cooling using treated greywater from domestic sources including sinks and showers. This procedure conserves fresh water, lowers indoor temperatures, and lessens the impact of the urban heat island. The technology reduces dependency on energy-intensive air conditioning while addressing excessive wastewater and high-water consumption in hot, humid countries like Malaysia. It is designed to mimic natural evaporative cooling. This system's main advantages include lower energy use, water saving, and improved environmental sustainability. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy demand and encourages the use of greywater for non-potable uses as part of a circular water management concept. Increased public awareness of sustainable behaviors, less strain on water supplies, and better urban microclimates are just a few of the socio-environmental benefits. Scalability and compliance with green building certifications improve the system's chances of being commercialized in both the residential and commercial markets. Because it may address important environmental issues, it is a useful and effective way to promote sustainable urban growth
