Project Name : Can Earth be Earth? Making the world – Green, Efficient and Safe
Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation
This project is the convergence of various techniques and technologies in order to make a dwelling place – “green, efficient and safe”. In the “green buildings”, on the green roof, terrace farming by drip irrigation is done and rooftop rainwater harvesting system is installed.
The “dome” structure of Ethylene Tetrafluro ethylene (ETFE) lets in more light and heat the water such as in Beijing Swimming Stadium than conventional glasses. A solar water heater cut off the usage of high power electricity. The walls of the adobe are made of adobe which
increases the thermal mass. Solar panels and wind turbines are installed at every possible place in the building. “Automatic Street Lights” automatically glows during dark time and prevents the wastage of electrical energy during daytime. Turbine power is utilized in form of
wind mills and river turbines. “sea-side generator” works on the principle of sea and land breeze for the production of electricity. The total electricity energy produced is stored in the power house. All the organic wastes from building are treated in biogas plant to produce
methane for fire involved purpose. The waste water is transferred to Waste Water Treatment Plant where it undergoes various processes- screening> grit removed> aeration> chlorination> Filtration.
For safety, there is “fire alarm system” through phone which informs the owner of the house through a phone call if his house is stuck with fire, even if the owner is not present there.
This model also has heat, light and smoke sensors to detect the fire.
Any electrical appliance connected to “appliance Guidance System” can be triggered (on/off) from any part of the world using a simple mobile as remote. This could prevent wastage of electricity when we forget to switch off electrical appliances before leaving the house.
