Problem: Conventional living

Action: Promoting urban eco-living through the art and science of earth building

Problem: What is your Power Factor?  Power factor is the percentage of electricity that’s delivered to your home or business and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity that’s being delivered is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most homes in America today have a .77 power factor or less. This means that 77% of the electricity that is coming thru your meter at your home or business is being used effectively, the other...

Problem: No Nepal, aqueles que não têm acesso eletricidade geralmente fazem uso de lâmpadas base de querosene (cerca de 2,4 milhôes de famílias). Este tipo de iluminação nem é eficaz em termos de custos, nem é "ambientalmente sustenátvel". No âmbito macro, uma vez que o querosene precisa ser importado, o governo tem que gastar suas limitadas reservas de moeda estrangeira (e a taxa internacional de petórleo vem aumentando diariamente). No âmbito micro, a emissão deste tipo de fumaça afeta olhos e pulmô...

Action: Orientação comuniátria sobre tecnologias novas e renováveis. Distribuição/venda do Solar Tuki com plano de parcelamento do pagamento: embora o custo por conjunto do Solar Tukis seja de apenas US$50 (1 conjunto = 1 painel solar e 2 unidades de lâmpadas), famílias pobres não têm dinheiro para pagá-los de uma só vez. Assim, o pagamento facilitado pelo parcelamento. Eles pagam o investimento em parcelas, utilizando o dinheiro que, de outro modo, usariam para comprar querosene. Solar Tuki uma l...

Problem: The current transportation system - particularly in mega-cities (such as Mexico City) - is already starting to become obsolete, un-efficient, as well as a significant source of air pollution; it is a problem with many social & ecological consequences. Visit www.ecosite.ws/nuestroporque or www.climatecrisis.net to get a deeper description about this issue.

Action: EcoSITE - Soluciones Integrales de Transporte Ecológico (Integral Solutions of Ecological Transportation) - is a movement (originated in 2003) that joins talented engineers, industrial designers, urbanists, ecologists, researchers, volunteers, among other experts, specialists and professionals in different areas (specially from the main colleges and universities, starting in Mexico). The main objective is to design prototypes, distribute and offer leasing services through individual ecologica...

Problem: The refrigerator is the appliance that consumes the most power in the home, between 10%-25% of the electricity costs per year. The average lifespan of a residential refrigerator/freezer  is now 12 years, during which maintenance is required 3 times on average. It is inherently wasteful to chill the air in the appliance when it is already cold outside; the appliance is poorly designed, and must chill the internal air 24 x 7 x 365 – even when not in use. Minor modifications would increase effic...

Action: The solution is a  modification to existing refrigerators, freezers and combination devices. Once installed, the control panel decides when it is appropriate to use free cold air from the outside to chill one or both compartments. When the Coldsnap devices are operating, they use 80%-95% less power than the appliances' compressor systems to get the same result. During warmer periods, the device evacuates created heat to the outside to prevent redundant cooling of the home environment. Other e...
