The British government recently launched a new super stringent green building rating system called The Code For Sustainable Homes. Code Six is the level that all new residences will be required to achieve in 2016, and is, for all intents and purposes, a requirement that all new homes emit no carbon emissions. Now greenbuilding company ZedFactory has taken it upon themselves to create a code six, zero-emission prefab home. In an attempt to reconceptualize the idea of what a super-efficient home should be, ZEDfactory introduced the RuralZED, which they claim is Britain’s most affordable green prefab home and is also able to meet its strictest energy standards. Oh, and did we mention that it is a flatpack? Read the rest of this entry »

One of our favorite green public artists, Edina Tokodi, is at it once again with her shape-shifting moss graffiti and urban guerrilla tactics. Tokodi was recently commissioned by SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) to encourage Philadelphia’s commuters to ‘Go Green’ with her navigable moss icons and green walls in the Market East Station’s passenger service area, ticketing area, and on the exterior of the station building and Transportation Museum. The initiative is part of SEPTA’s mission to help commuters become more aware of the positive environmental impact of using mass transit regularly. Read the rest of this entry »

The applications are endless for printing energy efficient light systems of all sizes. Just imagine the design possibilities! Read the rest of this entry »

Kalau panjenengan berkesempatan mengunjungi Jogjakarta sekarang ini, akan lebih bersih dan lebih hijau. Kenapa? karena program yang dicanangkan oleh seorang Walikota bernama Herry Zudianto yang telah dua periode menjabat (2001-2006 / 2006 -2011). Rumornya bapak Walikota hobi dengan yang namanya tanaman, taman, atau yang berbau hijau-hijauan. Jadi, hasilnya pemikiran-pemikiran beliau dapat terlihat pada pembangunan kota Jogjakarta ini. Sekarang lebih bersih –lihat sungainya–, penanaman pohon di pusat-pusat kota seperti jalan raya, traffic light, sungai, tempat belanja dll.
So, kita sebagai penghuni bumi, khususnya penghuni Jogja sudah sepantasnya memberikan dukungan kepada bapak Walikota supaya Kota Jogja menjadi asri dan hijau. Dengan begitu kita telah peduli bumi dan menyayanginya.
