A Humber College research team is working on the project “Design and Simulate Leaf Guard to Improve Drainage Capability” to improve the efficiency of rainwater conservation and drainage capability. The research project is led by Principal Investigator Hamid Dehkordi, a professor in the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST).
The Humber research team is collaborating with industry partner NEEB Engineering for the project. The main challenges in this project are to design a new leaf guard profile to optimize water capture and drainage capability for NEEB Engineering’s rainwater harvesting system.
NEEB Engineering has developed a rainwater harvesting system to address water conservation challenges and satisfy the growing trend for sustainable technologies in the building construction sector.
The research team received the NSERC Engage grant ($25k) for the research project.
