Universities Drive Green Building
2008-03-07 02:46:00 As the green building revolution gains traction on the local level, moving well ahead of any effort on the federal level save what departments and agencies can undertake on their own, one of the unsurprising leaders in the movement are America's colleges and universities. Even community and technical colleges appear to be getting into the act at a much higher rate than other portions of the public sphere. A photoblog by Guy Kawasaki at How To Change The World showcases some of the green building features of a new structure on Stanford's campus which he boasts to be just as smart as the people who it houses. Features include south-facing windows with light shelves that push natural light deeper into the building, wide open atriums, rooftop photovoltaic solar panels, and a rather novel flushing routine that helps to conserve water. Stanford is one among many universities building green, not as demonstrators for cleaner techniques and technologies, but as a sincere effort to ...

Greenedia Weekly Blog Report: EU Reports Kyoto Progress, Oil by the Barrel
2008-03-03 04:18:00 This is a selection of recent popular blog articles aggregated on Greenedia.com, where you will find the best blogs from the world of green media, as well as video uploads, podcasts, and blog authoring. EU Releases Environment Scorecard Treehugger blogged this week on the self-scoring the EU released on their progress toward Kyoto emissions and energy goals. The outlook was not that great, altogether, though progress has been made in the appropriate direction, unlike the US and Japan, which also received scores, and seem to be heading in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, according to the scorecard, the EU is still not on track to meet those goals. They reproduced a chart from the report in the post, giving a clear indication of how the various initiatives are doing, as percentage changes from a baseline calculation. In fact, the chart shows the only current hope for success in the EU of meeting their goals, in greenhouse gas emission reduction. Other areas, such as electrici...

Foreign Green Outpaces Domestic?
2008-02-25 17:16:00 North America, and the United States and Mexico particularly, have long been seen as laggards in the renewables game; Canada has done much better, though with a strong domestic oil industry and a small internal population, they have not felt quite the same pressures as other nations to switch off of a fossil fuel-based economy. Still, Europe and Japan have long been well ahead of the US in terms of policy and technology adoption, and the US has often resisted being brought along until countries like China and India are held to the same standard. The irony could well be that China and India are helping drive their growing economies with cleantech and a focus on energy efficient procedures. For example, officials in China recognize that accelerating growth in urbanization--millions moving from rural areas to already packed cities--will require dramatic sustainability efforts to provide for the population. A driver for Chinese efforts seem to be the upcoming Beijing Olympics this s... More About: Green , Domestic , Foreign

Greenedia Weekly Blog Report: Germany and Renewables, Biggest Greenwasher,

Germany Gets Creative With Renewables This past week Treehugger wondered if Germany was on the road to a 100% renewable, sustainable economy. They point to a potentially groundbreaking experiment in weaning an energy grid off of nuclear and fossil fuel energy sources in a short time frame. The University of Kassel cooperated with three German energy companies in the experiment. Treehugger goes into a bit more detail (while also providing an in-line YouTube video), and suggests that the approach used, of building a power plant that combined a number of different sources of energy--from solar, to wind, to biogas--could provide steady and uninterrupted power for the grid around the clock and in any conditions.

How Easy Is It?
2008-02-22 15:33:00 For years, decades the common wisdom has been that an environmental lifestyle is difficult, even painful--minimalistic at best and bereft of things we might consider necessities today. Not a very inspiring picture. And yet some people seemed to thrive on the idea, and for them environmentalism was often at a confluence of other interests--anti-corporatism, for instance, or socialism, or a Malthusian belief that the Earth cannot handle the population it has, much less continued growth. They have created a sort of unattractive sheen to the notion of being environmentally responsible, where it can be equated to living a subsistence lifestyle in primitive conditions. Bruce Sullivan of non-profit Earth Advantage challenges that notion in an interview with David Fisher of The Bulletin this week. ' You don't have to live in a yurt or a tepee, ' Fisher quotes Sullivan as saying. The article and interview goes on to discuss Sullivan's work with Earth Advantage, advising bui... More About: Easy

Not Just About Energy
2008-02-21 02:32:00 There's a temptation to see green building as just about conserving energy; it is the big, sexy problem area after all. We use too much of it, and most of that use is optional, and wasteful on top of that. So building infrastructure, where so much of it is wasted, is the likely place to look for savings. And so we get hung up on insulation and lighting and alternative energy sources. Not that all that isn't crucial, of course, but with all the energy going into finding alternatives, it's sometimes easy to forget about the other big part of green building standards: water. Built into the USGBC's LEED standards, for example, are a number of criteria regarding water usage. Typical solutions are low-flow toilets, rainwater/greywater collection for use in irrigation, and so on. And these areas of focus--runoff management, wastewater management, and curbing usage--are not just environmental window dressing, but a major component to any comprehensive green building solution. ...

Greenedia Weekly Blog Report: Coal Prices to Double, Chrysler Sets Broad Si

Coal Prices Open The Door To Biomass Looking toward the possible rise of biomass as an energy source, BioPact Blog points out that coal prices could conceivably double in the next two years. A variety of pressures on the supply of coal, including limits on production in Indonesia and Australia, and spiraling demand in China and India, are consiring to drive prices up, perhaps much more rapidly than the market is ready to absorb. The market already received a shock, in fact, when rumors circulated that an Asian steel company paid well above market value for coal. BioPact goes on to suggest possible high volume alternatives to coal, such as massive brush overgrowth in northern Namibia that could provide up to 500TWh of energy in lieu of coal.

Promoting Green Building
2008-02-17 04:36:00 Green building seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. Maybe not the way alternative fuels and hybrid powertrains are, in front of the general public, but green building seems to be generating all the right interest in all the right venues to make a genuine difference going forward. The latest example comes from the International Builders' Show in Orlando, Florida this weekend. With this past Thursday marked as green day at the expo, organizers hoped to bring dramatic focus to the realities and potential of alternative energy, energy efficiency, and deep green in the construction industry. Florida Today mentions that the National Association of Home Builders took advantage of the occasion to announce the National Green Building Program, which promotes 'green' building techniques and materials. The NAHB has no doubt found, as many of its members have, that promoting the green aspects of their business is a good way to boost sales in these uncertain economic time...

Green Building In Practice
2008-02-14 03:48:00 One of the exciting things about watching the green building revolution is seeing the various ways in which those seeking to save energy and reduce emissions are going about their business. Not every wish list technology is ripe yet--I could take my home off the grid right now if there were such a thing as 50% efficient photovoltaic solar panels. Sadly, those are in the infancy of research, as are other technologies to make less efficient solar solutions work. But still, people are building green and getting their projects LEED-certified. How are they doing it? NW Arkansas News goes into fascinating detail on one such project, a mutli-building office development in Bentonville, the home of Wal-Mart, that will likely serve vendors coming into town to display their wares for the big buyers in the Walton family empire. One of the big focuses of the project was that of materials--bamboo flooring, for instance, using a material that grows dramatically faster than wood and thus is...

Smart Grids and Smarter Homes
2008-02-10 03:52:00 Energy management is one of the key components to any green building enterprise. Some of that is what might be called passive management: using components, techniques, and processes that consume less or by their natures conserve more energy and thus help manage energy. But on the flip side there is an active management of the energy that is used, minimizing use during peak grid hours and adapting within the building to usage patterns to wipe-out idle energy usage. For the latter, HAI (Home Automation, Inc.) went to this year's Consumer Electronics Show with the Omnistat2, wining an Innovations Award for the device, which represents another step forward in programmable thermostats. In preparation for the smart device's March release, HAI announced their joining of the US Green Building Council, adding another pillar of support to the drive to improve green building standards in commercial and residential spheres.

Virtualization
2008-02-06 02:32:00 I've mentioned before the concept of virtualization in the IT environment. It's a critical application of technology when it comes to making datacenters more green, working by removing physical servers and replacing them with multiple virtual servers running on a single set of hardware. That hardware works a little harder, but nowhere near as much as several units working in parallel. Jon Brouchoud considers the question of virtualization from a broader, green building aspect, and his vehicle for the discussion is the virtual reality phenomenon Second Life. Second Life, for the unitiated, is a fully realized virtual world, like a massive video game, but essentially purely social. Residents can buy land, build their own residences or places of business, buy and sell creations, and so on. Jon focuses on the social aspect, pointing out the vastly international meetings he had while in a coffee shop in Chicago. The big question that occurred to him there was why so many peop...
