An apparatus for protecting a building from weather elements

An apparatus for protecting a building from weather elements, the apparatus comprising:

• a structure configured to be installed on a roof of the building, wherein the structure is elevatable to at least one elevated position from an unelevated position for positioning the structure in relation to the building, wherein the structure is disposed on the roof of the building in the unelevated position, wherein the structure is raised from the roof of the building in the at least one elevated position for protecting the building from at least one weather element, wherein the structure comprises at least one hydroponic cultivating unit and at least one tubing unit attached to the at least one hydroponic cultivating unit, wherein each of the at least one hydroponic cultivating unit comprises a growing container comprising at least one port, wherein the at least one tubing unit is fluidly coupled with the at least one port, wherein the at least one tubing unit is configured to be coupled with at least one reservoir containing a growing solution in the unelevated position;
• at least one pumping assembly configured to be coupled with the at least one tubing unit in the unelevated position, wherein the at least one pumping assembly is configured for transferring the growing solution to the growing container from the at least one reservoir through the at least one tubing unit based on the coupling with the at least one tubing unit;
• at least one elevating assembly coupled with the structure, wherein the at least one elevating assembly is configured for at least one of raising and lowering the structure for moving the structure between the unelevated position and the at least one elevated position by performing at least one action on the structure, wherein the at least one tubing unit is configured for allowing draining of the growing solution from the growing container to the at least one reservoir in the unelevated position, wherein the structure is raised after the draining of the growing solution;
• a communication device communicatively coupled with the at least one elevating assembly, wherein the communication device is configured for:
• receiving at least one input data;
• and
• transmitting at least one command to the at least one elevating assembly, wherein at least one of the raising and the lowering of the structure is based on the at least one command;
• and
• a processing device communicatively coupled with the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured for:
• analyzing the at least one input data;
• determining at least one value of at least one parameter associated with at least one of the raising and the lowering of the structure;
• and
• generating the at least one command based on the determining of the at least one value of the at least one parameter.
