Green Technology

Green Technology Project Description

Green technology has the potential to drastically reduce urban resource consumption while also making urban expansion more sustainable. Green technology allows buildings to be built in such a way that they maximize natural light while also providing enough insulation to reduce energy usage. Such construction techniques will save energy in lighting and remove the need for heating by decreasing heat loss to the outside.

Furthermore, construction materials will be supplied from landfills and municipal garbage. In the not-too-distant future, this technology will enable all buildings to be "passive," requiring no major additional emissions for their manufacture and use.
