One good example of how we can use technology to
reduce - not improve - our waste in building construction and maintenance is
the building ACCORD 21, in Beijing.
It takes advantages of natural lighting and
ventilation to reduce heat and cooling, uses reflectors, occupancy sensors,
solar panels, green roof, and lots of other non-visible systems that helps its
functionality and efficiency.
This was the first internationally certified green
building in China. It is a 8-story and since its opening it has used 73% less
energy and 60% less water than a conventional building!
Imagine this numbers in a large scale..
