Слайд 1HOW TO BEFRIEND YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Or WTF Is ‘Green Building’ And
a ‘Flower Tower’?
Слайд 2Step 1. Green Building
Let high-tech mother you
Слайд 3‘Serious Windows’
● Windows lose heat in four ways. The rate
at which a window loses heat through the combination of
the four is called its U-value. It is the inverse of the R-value, so the lower the U-value, the greater the insulative value of the window.
Слайд 4‘Serious Windows’
in ‘Passive Houses’
Up to R-11.1 insulation —
highest performing window in the market
99.5% UV protection (reduced
fading)
Reduces condensation
Increased indoor comfort — warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer
Significantly lowers energy bills
Decreases the demand on your HVAC system
Слайд 5Home Energy Monitor
Most people don't know how much electricity they
use or how much each appliance costs to run each
month.
The utility bill doesn't break it down. All you see is a total cost along with lots of other hard to read figures.
Слайд 6Solar Hot Water
• Solar energy is an unlimited
resource.
• Solar
energy does not produce harmful emissions
or require transportation or
pipelines like electric energy,
natural gas, or other fossil fuel energy sources.
• Solar water heating systems installed in the U.S. help
reduce our household energy consumption, and the
nation’s reliance on toxic fossil fuels.
• Solar water heating systems will work anywhere in the U.S., not just sunny states.
Слайд 7Solar Hot Water: How It Works
1. Sun heats up
liquid inside
collectors.
2.
Controller
pumps hot
liquid to the
water tank.
3. Hot liquid
heats up
water inside
the tank.
4.
Hot water is
available for
household use.
Слайд 8A Watersaving Loo?
• Save on water AND sewer costs. 1.6/.8
gallon dual flush system, compared with the conventional 1.6 gallon
single flush toilet, can save almost 67% more water.
• Say goodbye to the plumber! 4-inch trap (almost double the size of most conventional toilets) virtually eliminates blockages. Kids and lots of guests are no problem now.
• More-sanitary--virtually no upsplash. Because the amount of water is less inside the bowl and further away from you, there is less chance of upsplash which makes for a more pleasant and sanitary experience.
• Reduced load on your waste system. Less water in the system means less load on the city sewers or your personal septic tank.
• Good for the environment. Saving water is important for everyone in the community as resources dwindle in many part of the world.
Слайд 9Sod Greywater to Hades? No way.
What if there were a
way some of our water could be used twice?
Let’s
look at some figures: Approximately two third of our water is being used to shower, bathe and do the laundry, while another third is being used to flush the toilet.
Слайд 10‘Quality Construction’ Equals to ‘Green Construction’
Step 2. The Age of
‘Flower Towers’
Слайд 11Haim Dotan’s Solar Flower Tower
"The solar tower was conceptualized as
a flower in the desert, symbolizing harmony and balance with
nature. It incorporates elements of art, sculpture, architecture and soul"
Слайд 12Haim Dotan’s Solar Flower Tower
30 tracking mirrors
30-metre high solar
tower:
24-metre structural column and a 6-metre, two level mechanical
space
Plus a special solar receiver and a 100kw gas turbine
Слайд 13Bosco Verticale by Stefano Boeri
Meet Bosco Verticale (“Vertical Forest”), two
similarly green-skinned apartment towers under construction in Milan that blow
the Flower Tower right out of the water … or soil, rather.
50,000 sq m of urban-sprawl land
10,000 sq m of woodland
