Integrated Project

We discuss the form of application of renewable sources of energy including solar energy and geothermal energy in the environment of construction, and an integrated project on renewable sources of energy is taken as a case study. We also analyze the feasible plans that utilize multiple renewable sources of energy in the construction. The significance of the energy conservation and reduction is presented as well.

World Concept

Present energy use - largely dependent on fossil fuels - is incompatible with the sustainable world concept. In a sustainable world, energy sources are renewable and used in a way that damage to the environment is minimalized. This study investigates the possibility of a sustainable world using renewable energy sources. It appears that - when strict energy conservation is applied - such a sustainable world seems to be attainable. This requires, however, drastic changes in most parts of society.

Key Resources

Construction industry is one of the sectors that would highly benefit from Nanomaterials with new functionalities and enhanced performances. The use of Nanomaterials in this industry should be considered not only for enhancing material properties and functions but also in the context of energy saving. This paper, aims to keep special attention on low energy buildings which utilizes the key resources of energy or construction materials in a more efficient way than the conventional buildings. Using Nanomaterials in these cases include harvest solar or other forms of renewable energy and energy conservation. The paper presents also applications of more efficient and cheaper solar energy collectors with high flexibility, heat absorbing windows, energy coatings and Nanoinsulations. The flexible insulation allowed the panels to be thin enough to fit within the existing window casements without need to modify window and roof fixtures. The NanoHouse represents a successful method of explaining what Nanomaterials are and how they work.
