Abstract:

With rapid urbanization need for better and more comfortable homes are increasing. But as a result of this rapid urbanization, harm is done to the environment. Green house gases are produced from making of raw materials and energy generation for the house which has numerous negative environmental impacts. Lot of energy and resource is consumed and wasted by an average household making it expensive. The house is less sustainable on its own as it can’t survive without power from the grid. Gases produce from the fossil fuel powered plants are- Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulfur oxides, Nitrogen oxides, Mercury. Because of this rapid urbanization the level of CO2 gas in the atmosphere is rising rapidly. Coal burning produces huge amount of CO2.Geothermal, Hydropower and Nuclear systems produce small amount of CO2. Deforestation for power plants will increase CO2.Methane has heat trapping capacity of CO2. A power plant that captures methane and increase global warming is also harming the environment. Our goal is to develop and deliver innovative and sustainable building solutions that will minimize the negative impact of residential sector construction on the environment reduce the energy and resource consumption and increase the over-all sustainability of future smart cities. In order to do these we need to improve the sustainability of communities by developing innovative building solutions. Remove negative impacts of the house on the environment. Make the house more comfortable while cutting down energy waste. Reduce consumption of energy and resource made by the house. Our vision is to become 100% off grid. That means we won’t take any electricity supply from the grid. Most houses at present are built using conventional techniques with brick, cement and rods. Not only these houses are risky to be in when an earthquake strikes, but are also expensive to built, wastes lot of energy and causes harm to the environment. On the other hand it has less implementation of software and technology to save energy that makes life more comfortable and safe. Addressing all these problems we are going to make a house with the combination of solar tiles, rotating solar panel, power wall and latest technologies to make a sustainable cheaper house for the future smart cities. Development and delivery of innovative and sustainable building solutions that will minimize the negative impact of residential sector construction on the environment reduce the energy and resource consumption and increase the over-all sustainability of future smart cities using solar roof tiles, rotating solar panel and power wall.
