Irrespective of who finish on top of the tally with the highest number of gold and China has bagged a golden honor with the way it has built and maintained its Olympic Village. U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson presented Chinese officials with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold award for the 2008 Olympic village and that is one ‘Olympic Gold’ that China can only claim to have!<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSBxyFAxgNbY89PbFz0zjso79s0LKbzrRS2DFmHaiujE4mHiE7gJeu2hjdAlwtPs2owlBo5DYBQnj7Eafh-pZEiuxbcLv9tgG7-GQhqc7_O7w3YsBfABwCod_u2LlfmY350uAlFAKGU0/s400/olympicvillage2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353330563370920034" border="0" />This is indeed being dubbed as the ‘Green Olympics’ and ironically so as Beijing is one of the world most polluted cities before the games started and there was a frantic effort to clean things up. While the Olympic Village is a segment of the celebrated athletic event’s environmentally-friendly planning and that is a major goal for the Olympic Village <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/06/eco-green-cycler-ingenious-waste-food.html">Eco </a>environment was that its practices and techniques would also serve as a model for future development in China.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9tcexEvyko-0RoEsIFAaKSJyO6onKI-5oobxOCTuPBNg4toHVygA8njUaCxY_U7wPzpy1cxbTsDna0DYRIya0PbQzPZCzdteiWg8ji-qZtTLe-PFAzlSl6pq2bHYThebKFAo39QPtjQ/s400/olympicvillage3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353330564599903762" border="0" />Currently housing 16,000 Olympic athletes, the 160-acre site contains 42 residential buildings ranging between six- and seven community centers, three commercial and retail buildings, a health center, library, gyms, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a kindergarten. Using high levels of insulation, energy efficient windows and a system that collects and re-uses rainwater for heating and cooling and these buildings are 50 percent more energy efficient than most other buildings in Beijing.<br /><br />The apartments are also partially powered by solar energy and use grey water to flush toilets and vegetated green roofs make up more than 60 percent of the impervious surface on rooftops and 95 percent of parking was constructed underground are freeing up area for open green space as well as a network of pedestrian and bicycle pathways. What is nice to know is that the village is being used as a model for future villages in China and for that reason alone the LEED accolade is well deserved. <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2008/08/18/olympic-village-receives-leed-gold/">Via<br /></a></span>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-51453824632395385632009-06-16T21:11:00.000-07:002009-07-03T20:47:09.871-07:00Distinctively Designed Green Bikinis<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9v6gJ8F_KlfUwaokL_zrtsTeOw65Ztu8UG-hSD2DVtiXlA4-FfZxgFC4BI_1n04wyg0QqV1Bml0Z55JYW4hdLzgNjaTU04eFYI8NcTX1m_obGEmbZobWWF8L-E3nOSzAlYoTGusly_oo/s400/Distinctively-Designed-Green-Bikinis.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348145541028720690" border="0" />By and large when anyone chats about bikinis or trunks and that we straight away visualize a super hot sculpt putting on a chic swimsuit.

So if in today’s epoch somebody comes up with an initiative to conserve water and energy then he would truly earn a comprehensive admiration around the world. In view of that a designer named Toby Fox has proposed an innovative scheme called ‘Water Efficient Washing up Unit’ for cleansing up dishes and utensils.

Composed of two parts this valuable unit would reserve water desired for dishing up in one part while the other part performing as cleaning handle would warm up the water to generate steam out of it. This Eco steam would be in turn Eco projected for washing out articles once they have gone through detergent washing off.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDRyIuqrtLZTNWe1o2bhuYGwH1ASQE5_zwhgalRfUC9sPXbuxqOpBZb2NQ-LUBFWv3WZ9Oncrb7bEhz0YDsgyotbmx6yJprdHS7Tt3UM3ZghkYalcRIBHOwGqJQI6cwG9_AfnLa0rORc/s400/water-savingunit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342945280080535202" border="0" /><br /><br /></div>And the whole cleansing course of action would be concluded very swiftly thereby speeding up the entire process.

The rest of the Eco car is simple impeccable with world-class interiors are the top-notch styling and great Eco design. It comes with the 0.8-cdi engines or the 1.0-liter 84hp gasoline engine and is priced at €16,850 - €19,790. <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leblogauto.com%2F2008%2F09%2Fla-smart-fortwo-edition10-en-allemagne.html%23comment-274640">Via</a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-47521106877609883342009-05-26T20:43:00.000-07:002009-05-26T20:53:40.231-07:00Mazda KIYORA ECO Concept<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOHz9GDaOs6l0PZZ-Jwlc5B3qsTdJcQR8Y821PrgeoXGhaPxzE7840C_fDqiuOxnD66sOsHkWhx4Wuo5HFi84bY-v5wsVcvDdmTmKPoOoWOQyPdHo_ASjnFG2cVULayQqV4gU_0f1dlxs/s400/kiyora-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340346752485085698" border="0" />Water is indeed inspirational and one trip to the beach will surely inspire you to follow the waves and while Mazda <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/05/xylophone-bin-recycle-waste-with-touch_23.html">Eco </a>concept have tried to emulate the wind and sand in car designs earlier and their attempt at giving solid shape to water seems to have come off much better. The KIYORA Eco Concept of Mazda is a futuristic Eco car that is inspired by water and one look at the car clears any further doubts on that and design of the Eco car along with the pattern on the glass are mesmerizing.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQnNhHmgyPiDGv7MUR5EYB-GQoXVZAJh0fNkRsIqSn4a4q-jaMCXy6CX5NseepOKATR9-fxrd6DzEpRLhgnm2OoQ8Bdmym1dZx69WlpBhIiapV2BXBcHPsz-pBj2xZwU01n_stDOvqQQ/s400/kiyora-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340346757803778914" border="0" />And this KIYORA Eco concept design and next-generation four-cylinder direct-injection engine contributes to excellent fuel economy and low CO2 emissions.

It is not very often that one gets to see an <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/05/toshiba-high-on-methanol-powered-eco.html">Eco </a>concept that looks good and also does well for the Eco planet. The Eco Xylophone Bin is one such rare Eco concept which we would like to have ourselves and enjoy some beautiful notes every time we put the waste back where it belongs.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4NqG24oRS5xPtvQhUxHnRZbArgVRfGlEmwATZIZ5DVfaIXfbLbOIfNpYQZM90CGT0CL5C-tvsRAm6qLN6mfavR5skRkGKgO2kt6m9Y_rD5r3arUTxVaans847O7HZi-mEY_xNo0oTqfs/s400/xylophone-bin21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339239846649696962" border="0" />“Xylophone Bin” is an amazing Eco creation by Dominic Wilcox designed for Danish Company VIPP charity auction Eco event held in New York. The bin has crafted wooden stairs around it that go from longer to shorter. When you open the lid and an Eco metal ball is released on to the steps and goes bouncing down the steps to create a symphony of sound. It goes from the high note to the low note and probably this will encourage your young one to put trash where it belongs more often and this truly is one Eco gadget that is a delight to the senses.<br /><br />When the pedal is pressed the lid opens, releasing a ball that travels down a spiral set of xylophone steps around the bin. Each time the ball hits a step, a note is played. The xylophone steps are cut in increasing lengths so that the note gets lower as the ball travels to the bottom.Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-81730695847283733852009-05-20T20:18:00.000-07:002009-05-20T20:24:40.558-07:00Toshiba High on Methanol Powered Eco Fuel Cells<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjErdVvEUbNJiO4opKWVpKV1oXVPj65Ksf7Y54IkG072VsuwxLQl9FKKtqWfNi1_71buK5YGWsNthCHDHZhZxmb19zHLz3NHrUmRPSeOtrmM7byiCoYcuZLtxkFyYjS_MTR7IRl6P4Y7Wk/s400/fuel-cell-mobile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338112898134502050" border="0" />We had been hearing of it unofficially for some time now, but finally Toshiba has come out with the actual schedule of the <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-wooden-want-this-eco-phone.html">Eco fuel cell</a>-powered mobile devices. Releasing in March 2009, the new mobile Eco devices will be equipped with a methanol Eco fuel cell that gets charged with a dedicated cartridge. However, there will be a second built-in-Li-ion battery that will provide a strong back up.<br /><br />Hear the cartridge can make space for around 50 ml of 99 per cent methanol which can charge a Eco mobile phone 10 times. Priced at 700 yen, the cartridge has already become hot property but Toshiba is planning to reduce the cost price further down to 100 yen. A wise move as it will increase saleability manifolds.<br /><br />The big Toshiba plan is to use these Eco fuel cells in DIGI cams, LAPPY etc as well and the best part is a cartridge being designed will be of a single type and will be compatible with many Eco devices. <a href="http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20081001/158930/">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-73125314799203689772009-05-18T21:01:00.001-07:002009-05-18T21:04:27.155-07:00Sporting Green: Garden House with Mini Golf on the Roof!<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEu99_ET2IQKS0sLsmFZ2T7u4GZC-FXYat7OeQQ3gBeY1zRPnXZCdBPNgLMtW5oEX6PFzJCjTXou3PHqFEnIRYFYl_2yn670NOLj4MGKt3q-MlFZce1R-4nvxReQQ7QHm8TAvbQFE3348/s400/garden-house-with-mini-golf1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337380537122317618" border="0" />This is one house that I would really love to own as it seems to combine two of my passions with elegant ease. The Garden House is a perfect combination of <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/05/german-perfection-green-living-takes.html">green </a>environment with sports and when I say I mean a lot more than the boring indoor sports. The Garden House has a roof that is covered by a green blanket and it is not just for the look of it. The green top acts as a mini-golf course and you can have loads of fun and fine tune your shots and angles on your own terrace now.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41AczasRgKdHdo4-_NeMjneTNcAim_o8BpM-fLRkHTedTxwlHA-Wd-xqdI6kTlOZldmST6Eh3osPXhQRX5KoKRAjB93bUygf5YYcm9TRAQn3cmbJLiHzQlGky6ND4wGAe3XLDAq2nNKg/s400/garden-house-with-mini-golf3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337380539660940162" border="0" />Designed by ADD+ architecture and the Garden House is a good example of designer houses. The project is designed to be located in the city of IGULADA while overlooking the overall landscape. The big glasses all over the house ensure that the house does not have dearth of light and air. The house overall is supported on steel tubes and is quite strong in holding the whole house. Also the interiors are done very aesthetically with wooden flooring taking the overall feel to a new level.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ir8qVC13NhH-Yo7P8ZvMhvrwq_WMPV2G0vodsrGhJt0vPspr1iqGsgDFh9bFYNMEoER2cCwgUs9BYI46Yn3VNiq_ppm-CYEyGXcUzhne8gMvBIxg1gRL6q0Pdj-7K_Rh7XS5X2c1muA/s400/garden-house-with-mini-golf2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337380536842988642" border="0" /><br />The house is designed to be a beautiful green home and while I really like sports beyond golf and would probably prefer a soccer pitch on top of my roof, I’m pretty sure the folks at ADD + architecture would manage to do that with ease. The house is an example of how green architecture can still produce super cool homes with innovative new concepts that are fun and useful. <a href="http://archdaily.com/5010/garden-house-096-bailo-rull-add-arquitectura/">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-44976972650858030602009-05-14T20:52:00.000-07:002009-05-14T20:56:21.623-07:00Ride 50 Miles Over Dynamic Solar Bike<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 353px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Ixu_EV6F4csVYI-Lh2vUmkifz-V4NNcv7Ir70z6hJhXha5dH1_434VekC-lAtI2QH34xyMi28NkZXELDO_JCm6wEqMWaE_1L63Yo4eKw2gw_tiS48C6QaFM0-FOsbteAAW42SWffEPI/s400/solar-bike.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335894552810068946" border="0" />It’s time to see young and innovative minds approaching the world with their fresh and youthful initiatives. Now lately in the turf of solar powered vehicles a further name, which is going to be impressed, is of University of Iowa Solar Club as the students of university has remarkably instigated an energy efficient solar bike on the roads.<br /><br />This <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-wooden-want-this-eco-phone.html">Eco friendly </a>pollution free bike designed by a collegiate group comprising ten to twenty students can actually revolutionize the whole world of city bikes as of its superb green eminence. The only disheartening facet of this bike is its slow and sluggish speed which comes up to be somewhere around 50 mph only. In today’s viable and hasty world such a lethargic vehicle would not be able to survive for a long time until or unless some relevant perfection is attained in its speed front.<br /><br />Under the headship of Daniel Rogge, an industrial engineer and the group deems to achieve the target speed of 62 mph in imminent future. Although this newly commenced solar innovation exhibited in yellow color appears to be a weird creation yet it would be barely defied by anyone in this young and modernized horde. <a href="http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/news/">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-4218119735067686362009-05-09T21:02:00.000-07:002009-05-09T21:13:19.307-07:00German Perfection: Green living takes over in the Land of BMW and Mercedes<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSCkR_NinIIJOEw1_V33J8mqU7yPxfxCUHu8UiyVZeKjkk9keiV1gKFrxJ4c4juziGsO1YVUCwNXsDkqavG8vIgQa1n-rk10LtW5gfMwLm4kjOtQsQn7mk-Q3MQZ9n_dKRPHVW42UFm0/s400/eco-wandering-germany.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334042819638089634" border="0" /><br />Germany is a country that has vividly stamped a class of its own in the international arena with what the world considers as the unending quest for perfection. Germans are known to be hard taskmasters who strive for that final millisecond and that last millimeter of perfect design, form and function and it is something that comes up with German athletes I mean <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-wooden-want-this-eco-phone.html">Eco </a>German technology and of course the ever green German beer. From that perfect lap of magic by Michael Schumacher to the precision of the Mercedes- it is all about power with grace and accuracy.<br /><br />But Germany has been a land that has been changing away from the technology to the green technology which saves both on oil and emissions. The home of the Mercedes, BMW (even though British) and Volkswagen is moving from oil-guzzling technology to windmills, green gadgets and electric vehicles. Germany is already the single largest producer and market for Solar Energy in the world.<br /><br />To add to that Germany has recently taken to wind energy and now 7% of the country’s total power is produced by windmills and driven by those gusty flutters of the blade. It seems that the Germans are driven to even eek out perfection out of the renewable energy sources and that once again is a welcome sight. <a href="http://eco-chick.com/2008/08/29/eco-wandering-through-germany/">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-33406619894785794002009-05-01T20:30:00.000-07:002009-05-01T20:36:02.120-07:00In Germany comes a wind farm to produce hydrogen<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmc_o0a2lFCffeUW1Hjl44XaIQK3kfABS0-yH7lw3Y1qvKenj4YYuMvCCakOHloGjsuh_C2tcqwXs2m7QtrTqL2c051byxGdr2V3_LN9N-pF9UEnmXFWfq-lP2-Wae-ZTAl0MEcye2xc/s400/parcoeolico-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331064993197285906" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />There is great turmoil in Germany as regards energy <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-wooden-want-this-eco-phone.html">Eco Concept</a> renovated. In Berlin was presented a project for the construction of a wind farm to produce hydrogen electricity that will become operational in two years and for the implementation is expected to cost around two million euros.<br /><br />The objective in the near future is to sell hydrogen in the city and to achieve this goal we are working on two lines project is a service station to be built on the spot and a means to accumulate the hydrogen produced and transported to Berlin to the various distributors. The hydrogen made from clean energy such as wind power is an element on which the city of Berlin and Germany in general are working in alternative energies.<br /><br /> In the German city already circulating 14 hydrogen-powered buses and the objective is to bring the bus fleet to 40 cars more in the coming years.<br /><br />At the time the problems associated with the development of this political <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/eco-news-india-gets-green-ideas-for.html">economy </a>is tied to the cost of the energy carrier and as well as the presence of non-capillary service stations and distribute it to a policy of incentives and choices it really favors.<br /><br />Throughout Germany there are about 21 stations that distribute hydrogen, made from industrial waste, but other stations is achieved in part by renewable energy and partly by gas resources. In Germany the policy of dissemination of hydrogen are quite serious and major car makers, including BMW, especially, watching with interest the evolution of the situation?<br /><br />It provides in the coming years, availability of funds for pilot projects aimed at producing hydrogen from green energy of 1.4 billion euros for half coming from public funds and half by industry funding.Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-61267631776739553402009-04-28T20:36:00.000-07:002009-04-28T20:43:18.026-07:00Who Wooden Want This Eco Phone!<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvzpEVkl1yavab0eKVxa21_olYh1R0sN_8Tw_Q8OoFs7PLnwM-6vN8GzLzMLH8EIJjsNYe9Y4HUSnOtwmwRHma25VPXmyFoSHfDbMVADKKJjqXh5C82UnwZlyGumIdzVs4jb52KaObUvE/s400/hulger-pappaphone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329953614484879874" border="0" />I have always had a special liking for modern furniture and accessories and mainly because they reduce the clutter in one’s house and give you enough breathing space and yet adding its signature style and elegance to the decor.<br /><br />Perhaps that is why I was delighted to see the new PAPPA <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/eco-news-india-gets-green-ideas-for.html">Eco </a>Phone launched by HULGER recently and they say it is world’s first wooden VOIP <a href="http://ecoblog2.blogspot.com/2009/04/ovetto-eco-green-trash-bin.html">Eco </a>phone and is priced at a neat 300 dollars.

With Gianluca Solid’s Ovetto ECO green in you wouldn’t have to hide your trash bin in the corners but can flaunt it upfront. In an attempt to go green, the Ovetto ECO green is made out of recycled polypropylene and meets the needs of domestic waste separation. This helps educate the population to correctly dispose of waste in order to be able to consequently recycle it.<br /><br />Available in white and black color with a capacity of 15 to 17 Liter, it requires 25/35 Liter bags and is an object of interior design that unites functionality, ECO green design and environmental education. Each of its compartments has ventilation to accommodate air circulation. Separation of waste plays an important role in the integrated management system of waste as it allows the reduction in the trash that ends up at landfills. To make certain that waste is correctly disposed off and recycled; waste must be kept separate according to the material class it belongs to.<br /><br />So all you need to do is drop your waste in the small colored slot on the top, pull out the larger storage sections when you need to empty. Endowed with futuristic curves, this egg-shaped bin is fitted with separate compartments for your recycled items, like paper, plastic and glass etc is probably the hippest bin on the market, with the added bonus of being one of the ECO green. It could be all yours for £139.99. <a href="http://switchedonset.com/2008/10/ovetto-space-ag.html">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-62816525496130372422009-04-19T20:12:00.000-07:002009-04-19T20:24:01.068-07:00Eco Design: Building Excitement<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8mRY9xMpUqNwFXS2o5K5a3_ZaDps8iLVBT1twSfJaduF8IVTZwzbRDhayTyY9DpU_lJwx7ak1IgE9enMmeCOugu4JZe8jBXh__QdJJFxfVM0TwTa6ArnbuRARSZFMoqqZR5mlDmVgPbI/s400/calroof21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326608566750018690" border="0" />One of San Francisco’s most exciting green projects, the construction of the new California Academy of Sciences building, has finally come alive. Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with engineer Rana Creek and the Eco building is topped by an undulating and functional and HUGE living green roof of 2.5 acre. Not only does this roof provide all the sustainable benefits that living roofs bring to a Eco structure, but it is also visible from within the exhibition spaces are connecting inside and out and engaging the context of San Francisco’s flora-filled backdrop.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HigAmDPN33qL51t8KuEcQOUyLXtJly8t6AShIMgGh9LrWr6O6N7DNlawkGuyjEBmD1ZMkFuxtU5rLx6Ma6fVRagTctbP-Qpan0L8MnkjFC3_22ehE1F-I6Ppe1r8eZYSyjvemCMD9Y0/s400/image51.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326608573287927890" border="0" />All set to open to the visitors from 27th September in this new Academy Eco Building houses an aquarium, planetarium, and exhibition spaces. Aside from its green roof and the Eco building is a feat of institutional green building that can be using some of the most cutting-edge energy efficiency strategies, delighting and water reclamation.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAM8a65nMyqwAd7b6s5EHqwMmuuEDihKzmyMrhJl4rd-PiBu-pKBuhSYey74vRz3RD2DOIPvmSZr7fdChnaH71xqEnxOaqJ-nLPxlUYf4Wqm3Q5WwX7wJxGiH7GcRfXMUrzcqk7PUDdCc/s400/image41.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326608570751146034" border="0" />The architectural Eco design of the new Academy responds to the Academy’s mission, history and setting. Inspired by the natural world are nature becomes part of the building itself. Its taken ten years and great vision to unify the Academy twelve Eco buildings into one notable structure are standing in the middle of the city Golden Gate Park.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ObvXk3tvRmDMpnB0OcPuvSemjCfA3sNjAep1kJPweS-x9tBsemkgx7ZvTy9ibokWQGmf_YlIFiRSeziZIRAaqvCInNnXdIYSQM3pfYgrWXvPnPdZyOAKmX0zZbtLB7NdsGBm-hbmnBE/s400/image2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326608570554592658" border="0" />With 60,000 photo-voltaic cells covering a glass canopy that frames it, the 410,000 sq ft compound involved a cost of US$500 million.

Sounds absurd? Well don’t be too surprised. After organic and biodynamic wine it is green beer that is making news these days.<br /><br />Going by the name of Cascade Green, this organic beer company manufactures the fuzzy liquor in Tasmania Australia with a commitment towards a greener life. Their special product is called ‘Beer of the Earth’ as Cascade Green has been consistently working for over 6 years to reduce the energy and water consumption by 16% and 30% respectively in the manufacturing process.<br /><br />The website is an extremely vibrant affair. But you have to be more than 18 years of age to access it. Here I read about the brewery’s green location that is surrounded by 250 hectares of pristine forest with Mount Wellington in the backdrop. The company is doing its best to maintain the beauty of the natural surroundings. And it is also taking special care to neutralize carbon emissions by purchasing carbon offsets. <a href="http://cascadegreen.com.au/">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-23051550611217762492009-04-17T19:30:00.000-07:002009-04-17T19:37:18.418-07:00Quiet Revolution’s QR5 addresses wind turbine issues<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxka_R-MHbRaC9UMiko2y1rplIyGKq6zQzHKyrHjFxO9HJ4l8YDFK9BjipQNng0VqI_vQNCU-UGjB6x4efnV3b7kxlAmw-Zij9SK5qHXFg3v-B-Ss92BvXTP7H9f9wNJsW7MAKBno_qN8/s400/quiet-revolution-wind-turbine-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325854723723348834" border="0" />With the benefits of Windmills come common concerns like the whooshing sound that regular turbines produce, as well as their divisive visual aesthetics. Keeping in mind the volatility of the speed of wind in the urban environment, the QR (Quiet Revolution) has been designed. A new type of wind turbine intended to address both of these issues, Quiet Revolution’s QR5 Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, or VAWT for shawt, is smaller, quieter, and way better looking than your typical windmill, plus it should produce the equivalent of its £25,000 price tag in clean energy within 15 years or less. The elegant helical (twisted) design of QR ensures a robust performance even in turbulent winds. It is also responsible for virtually eliminating noise and vibration.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIa8rQ6s6DT4_6FSGgKHxxzypiLFQXeoipWe1DFuDHY9mUSYfSOuDKjAQMafHtl3rNbRBOupja4tnOiTSTIojnIeHS5oVvyQvgZe_ahL4E3o9rhg74GfV_f2B4umDaIpKrnazj8TbT4Q/s400/quiet-revolution-wind-turbine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325854726176139682" border="0" />At five meters high and three meters in diameter, it is compact and easy to integrate, and with just one moving part, maintenance can be limited to an annual inspection.<br /><br />Though the energy output will vary according to the wind speed but is likely to be between 6,000 and 10,000 kWhrs on a typical site. And if that wasn’t all, according the usage of such windmills will also lead to reduction in CO2 emissions. <a href="http://trendir.com/green/urban-wind-turbine-qr5-from-qu.html">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-43998266348780885342009-04-16T20:03:00.001-07:002009-04-16T20:09:12.696-07:00Flexibility and Transparency Take Silicon Solar Cells to a New Level<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Exf-YBYlFX_L2rFUziX3JRWWxDS84ItB0m6Czbw5bwtl0tMW_n-SWyEtyPvCL93crrfGaxbymIpi9SHK0Qftcid82cdJ7Y_LD9-JmehpNYHC-2YZOLzr_b4zdUTJfwAfhEOr_JfO-us/s400/silicon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325492023729825074" border="0" />This could be a breakthrough in technology and researchers in the US of A have come up with a method that will give flexibility and transparency to efficient silicon-based solar cells. So much so that they can actually be wrapped around a pencil as well as used to tint windows on buildings and cars. The technique involves processing silicon by slicing its brittle wafers into ultra thin layers and then transferring them onto a flexible surface. We have seen how the popularity of solar cells has increased many folds with the energy crisis cornering America. More and more people are willing to utilize the sun’s energy over oil.<br /><br />Companies like Sharp Corp are already manufacturing thin-film solar cells but they are a little less efficient because of their rigidity. With the new breakthrough flexibility, solar cells can be easily transported. License for the technology has been given to a new company called SEMPRIUS Inc in Durham, North Carolina.Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-90891531720457163372009-04-15T20:08:00.000-07:002009-04-15T20:10:59.178-07:00Turtuga Blanku’s Solar Tunes Are Ready To Woo Us All<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyoUHIADmP7HiEIRYn1PG9ms70j5Orh9sHhbXGhkjRW9JZhzCgb3vCI1_24_IB5HaV1Nmviw3VWdofbv0O2sdFXoOZ9UrmraIn5x7G76Q8O7ig_pMwKFBge5ZDP9qwl_gm6prxN1c2d1w/s400/turtuga-blanku-solar-powered-music.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325121400025211954" border="0" />Believe it or not but even music can be Eco-friendly. I am not just talking about the green lyrics but the production bit as well. Caribbean musician Turtuga Blanku creates music that is powered by the sun.<br /><br />The studio that he records his blend of rock, reggae and pop is called the Green Machine and is lined with strong photovoltaic cells. These cells absorb solar energy during the day in a battery such that the studio can utilize them at night. Plus Blanku keeps the recording process very simple to make it solar power friendly. He used recording hardware only for drums, bass, guitar, piano and voice keeping the rest for software, also instrument overload is avoided. And we thought Cloud Cult had given us the greenest music.<br /><br />Hats off to Blanku for giving us a rare bare music in times when digital studio experimenting is a huge fad. And must we add Blanku’s music is good what with his strong focus on well-developed guitar hooks, rhythms and beautiful piano melodies.Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515018287710765589.post-75680873905143872582009-04-14T19:48:00.000-07:002009-04-14T19:54:42.240-07:00India Gets Ready To Build Green<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUSreVjAv2ZTkWxsYO4yHcalbOW0NE9SltQg2n9_bwc58Yqbvwmk3-G8Nhuf0assfNwVFG4pT8cWzmuwaZL0yDWhYkIGsLy5d0Zlq3PpFEnDZQKVbTD_Rdu32l-bBBt03dhFxL-jbH8BE/s400/green-building-aerial-view2007.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324746112342713154" border="0" /><br />The concept of ‘green buildings’ seems to be catching up in India. These structures are truly eco-friendly as they harvest their own water and not to forget the solar power systems. Not only this, they even have their own waste re-cycling system.<br /><br />Plus the greenery in the otherwise concrete jungles that metros in India have become, is sure bliss. The construction has been done so that more than 50 per cent of the building is covered with glass like it is in Japan, which reflects the sun’s rays and keeps the indoor cool; thus, saving power.<br /><br />When the fad was at a nascent stage, a 20,000 square feet green building was constructed in Hyderabad in 2004. But now, the green attitude is catching up. You will be surprised to know that the green buildings (please read 315) in India today cover over 235 million square feet. <a href="http://zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=470929&sid=ENV">Via<br /></a>Hadsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965214004319702140noreply@blogger.com0
