BIO TECHNICAL CONFERENCE ON CRITICAL SITUATION
Next Friday January 18 will be held at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Madrid a day designed to raise awareness aspects of bio organized by the office of David Hammerstein, MEP for the Greens in the European parliament.
participate in this event other prominent figures such as Anahà Asenjo, president of the English Association of Green Building or architect who specializes in EcoUrbanism Jordi Badia, and numerous other professionals in the sustainable construction .
approaching the issue of minimizing CO2 emissions from construction, as well as the optimization of resources or energy saving and water through the waste management and renewable energy all with strong presence in the building that project.
An example of the benefits of implementing the bio lies in the following seen in Construnario : a conventional house and a calculation of 3 people inhabiting it, you can get to deliver about 21 tons of CO2 a year, the same home, built under the Green Building criteria, only comes to an issue of 7 tons of CO2 a year, this goes to show the great advantages that this entails and the clear commitment to be adopted against the Kyoto protocol .
At other times Terrarium have exposed issues on sustainable architecture and what are some of the basic principles that must be taken into account, this time in Construnario shows the following:
• Designs must incorporate bioclimatic design, making use of renewable energy, favorable orientations to the sun and protection and insulation tailored to each situation.
• should be natural materials, preferably native, non-toxic to health, durable and recyclable.
• building systems must respect the environment, using the natural resources with environmental responsibility, adapting traditional architectural solutions to new needs.
Incorporating environmental values \u200b\u200b the construction sector can generate significant gains energy, development of new materials, saving hydrological and a new vision of architecture. The bio opens a wide range of possibilities and it is important that new generations of architects and builders include environmental aspects in their designs and projects.
Conference next Friday as help to unify views and ideas on sustainable architecture and is a great initiative in offering environmental applied to the construction world.

Recent rains in Catalonia have not solved the problem of drought , be concluded that in the year 2007 ended with the worst record rainfall of the past ten years.
The government of the Generalitat of Catalonia has promoted several projects to ensure urban water Catalan widespread calls in addition to Catalan society for saving and optimization of water use.
Recent studies in this area is based on the possibility of transport water to the city of Barcelona from Marseille, but other possibilities of this water source such as Tarragona and Almeria, although according to statements by Port Authority Barcelona "It does not matter the origin of the boats. Whether you come from Tarragona, and when they arrive in Marseille and Andalusia, for us no problem one ".
water would reach the port of Barcelona stored in tankers, where, through pipes would be connected to mains supply.
Each ship can carry approximately 300,000 liters of water, which is still determine will be the one part Aigues de Barcelona (Agbar) to determine the number of ships that would be needed to remedy the situation and by the port authority, which is the space available at the port for this purpose, it is possible that today reach an agreement on this issue.
However, the situation is alarming because the rains are scarce, leaving the Catalan reservoirs under minimum and department sources said the Environment prepare for the worst case scenario, ie the need to find water anyway, to avoid cuts in domestic supply of these possibilities is to avoid cuts to bring water from elsewhere.
was unthinkable a few decades ago have to resort to these areas to provide water, well, those voices, which some branded alarmist take on new relevance today, since the problems of drought have made just begun and is in the hands of all ensure that the water will remain part of our lives.
have to remember what was said in a campaign TV to promote water conservation by society, to take only water before the tap was needed today to have water is necessary to close the tap.

NEW VEHICLE GREEN ELECTRICITY GENERATING FACADES
Cadillac Provoq, that the name of the new vehicle model presented yesterday January 8 by General Motors in the Fair of Consumer Electronics, the vehicle has a feature with the rest of the latest models marketed by companies engaged in the automobile, the Provoq is powered by calls hydrogen fuel cells .
Cadillac Provoq, that the name of the new vehicle model presented yesterday January 8 by General Motors in the Fair of Consumer Electronics, the vehicle has a feature with the rest of the latest models marketed by companies engaged in the automobile, the Provoq is powered by calls hydrogen fuel cells .
This battery is an evolution of previous works which supplemented by a lithium-ion battery that is responsible for generating electricity.
The new Cadillac vehicle is equipped with two tanks which can accommodate in its interior up to six kilos of hydrogen, which, according to sources within the company, would provide the Provoq a range of 483 kilometers without the need stopping to refuel hydrogen.
remember that one of the main disadvantages of vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cell is the low self-regulatory models seen to date.
environmental contribution company with this new model is not there, but the vehicle is fitted with solar panels , entrusted with the operation of the electrical components inside the car.
"is a vision of things to come, a fuel cell vehicle that provides electrical conduction characteristics Cadillac customers want and without having to use a single drop of oil." These are the words of Vice President of the multinational General Motors, Larry Burns and, indeed, few words are correct, in that initiatives how are you must be the door to what is coming, in the beginning, these vehicles can not compete with the other models but it is important to go slowly creating a hole in the powerful automotive industry.
may exist in a few years more models committed to the Environment and in a few more vehicles green are a normal part of the vehicle market and even outperform conventional models.

Tingling Sensation Pubic Area
The world of materials science and the study is large and their study may open ways to new technologies and processes as well as solutions in certain fields, such as the appearance environment.
Thus, the Materials Technology Institute of the Polytechnic University of Valencia is developing a project that is intended that the facades of the buildings themselves are in charge of supplying electricity to households. This objective is developed by introducing panels photovoltaic materials such as ceramic coating for walls and roofs.
"Unlike what exists today in the market that are solar panels attached to the ceramic or other building materials, ceramic panel will own that, thanks to the inclusion of amorphous silicon, we are supplying the energy," says Javier Orozco, Institute researcher engaged in the project.
are amorphous silicon solar cells which are integrated into the ceramic material, giving the panels feature of the energy absorption for later release, currently the fabric material used in asphalt, the cost is less than the materials commonly used in the manufacture of solar panels.
The installation of solar panels that we know so far involves the setup project as well as works external to the plate such as mounting the support structure, this initiative of photovoltaic ceramic plates, reducing the need for these facilities with consequent savings material and economic lower cost.
is a need to investigate the material world, and that can give solutions to problems that if not curbed in time can lead to irreparable consequences.
In the construction sector, many materials used are optimized if they can give unimaginable benefits, one of the areas with the greatest potential to contribute to environmental care are the facades of the buildings, which are separating the environment inside the building and its correct placement can yield significant energy savings , from the placement of these ceramic panels for the installation of ventilated facades can bring society to own buildings sustainable.
