Buildings 2018
What initiatives, policies, and technologies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings sector?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that buildings will account for over 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2030, and that nearly half of these emissions can be avoided at modest cost. This contest seeks proposals on how emissions from new or existing buildings can be significantly reduced, with a focus on increasing energy efficiency. What initiatives, policies and technologies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector?

Proposals
Replicable Energy Sustainability best practices for highly populated neighborhoods (slums / shantytowns) in developing countries
A building lead the high-speed, dry, low temperature air down to the ground, into power generation, cooling?and blowing haze away.
Zero Carbon/Energy Bldgs Now for FREE except for Uninformed Engineers & Intentional Obstructionists #ActOnClimate #UpToUs @ClimateCoLab
Tall buildings with "green" exterior walls improve air quality and audio+visual quality for all city residents.
Device that reduces water consumption by generating huge surface of water contact.
Heat pump dryers will reduce US GHG emissions by 61 million tons/year and benefit vulnerable communities, while saving $12.5 million/year
Using U.V LED light strip sticker to ensure clean HVAC system which saves energy, U.V disinfection removes spores, fungus growth.
A Technology that uses hollow bricks filled with zeolite pellets to extract solar heat during day & releases the heat at night saving energy
By using blocks we can stop use of bricks. So production of brick will stopped.
Plastic bottles can be used as a building brick. People can save a lot of building energy. Thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The proposal is an optimal model for electrical heating and cooling that can be easily installed easily, energy efficient,
Cooling and a/c based on water as natur refrigerant and renewable thermal energy sources such as solar, district heating, biomass etc.
Air being purified by placing 3D printed Titanium Dioxide modules in facades.
Dropline is an in-house waste sort,collection and energy generating system. The idea comes from the bucket slide used on construction sites.
Efficiency is 30-40% higher than standard Inventor air conditioners. For SAC, all parts are plastic except for the electric motor and wires.
Moving human development and zoning towards a horizontal scaling architecture will make achieving our sustainability goals more practical
Building tradition of the Mayan House must be preserved due to the important environmental values as well as the sustainability.
"Black Pavilion" is a project for a self-cooling skyscraper designed for the conditions of the equatorial and subequatorial climate zone.
The Arctic is leaking methane 200 times faster than usual. An abrupt release of 50 Gt would turn ugly. Emergency response required
Our Generator is multifunctional & self-sufficient(clean water & energy, purified air and data through IoT sensors). #IFourth #startup
SmartCut is an intelligent electrical energy saving powerstrip that intelligently cuts currents of connected devices in "stand by" mode.
