Piezoelectric floors generate many microwatts up to many watts per step depending on space pedestrians frequency and piezoelectric technology.
Piezoelectric roof tiles.
Piezoelectric materials are materials that produce an electric current when they are placed under mechanical stress.

When you step on the load bearing glass tile it compresses the piezoelectric element creating an electrical charge that lights up the cavity s 125 leds in the entire footpath about one thousand glass tiles light up in various colors.
The piezoelectric process is also reversible so if you apply an electric current to these materials they will actually change shape slightly.
