1. A method comprising,sensing an environment condition, using an environmental sensor;
- removing, using a computing system, a first fluid from hollow inner compartments of a plurality of roof structures based upon the environmental condition, wherein a plurality of light scattering structures are encompassed within each hollow inner compartment of each roof structure and have a reflective index, wherein the plurality of light scattering structures scatter light or pass light therethrough based upon a fluid stored within the hollow inner compartment, wherein the plurality of light scattering structures scatter light when the fluid has a disparate reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures, wherein the plurality of light scattering to pass light therethrough when the fluid has a similar reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures; and
introducing, using the computing system, a second fluid into the hollow inner compartments of the plurality of roof structures based upon the environmental condition, wherein the first fluid has a similar reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures, and wherein the second fluid has a disparate reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions to receive a sensed environment condition from an environmental sensor; instructions to remove a first fluid from hollow inner compartments of a plurality of roof structures based upon the environmental condition, wherein a plurality of light scattering structures are encompassed within each hollow inner compartment of each roof structure and have a reflective index, wherein the plurality of light scattering structures scatter light or pass light therethrough based upon a fluid stored within the hollow inner compartment, wherein the plurality of light scattering structures scatter light when the fluid has a disparate reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures, wherein the plurality of light scattering to pass light therethrough when the fluid has a similar reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures; and instructions to introduce a second fluid into the hollow inner compartments of the plurality of roof structures based upon the environmental condition, wherein the first fluid has a similar reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures, and wherein the second fluid has a disparate reflective index as compared with the plurality of light scattering structures. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
