HIKARI positive energy building

Toshiba and Bouygues have together developed a solution for positive energy buildings they called “HIKARI”, which generates more energy than it consumes. A first-of-a-kind positive energy building, located in Lyon, France, HIKARI is designed to be an exceptional example of a smart building that leads to rethinking the design of more traditional buildings, to ensure a smart, sustainable city. Created through a partnership with the Japanese government agency New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and Grand Lyon, HIKARI is a part of Metropolitan Lyon’s mid-term objective to design new uses for housing and shared areas to encourage a "zero carbon" territory.

Mi-Hub wrote: Mi-hub is a new mobility experience, integrated and shared. We think that through an hubs system it is possible to choose the mean of transport, eg car sharing, car pooling, public transportation or soft mobility, based on customer needs,(comfort, cost and time). To reach an hub it is foreseen the use of an on demand last mile service provided by a shareable electrically assisted rickshaw with a pay-as-you-go rate. The substription to the service can be both "pay as you go" or a monthly/yearly fee. The customer can manage its trip through an app... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

GreenPACT City

GreenPACT City wrote: The target is to reduce co2 emissions by 50% (agenda 2030). Greenpact city offers an online portal to citizens and municipalities to monitor the direct emissions of family units. The portal calculates citizens’ carbon footprint. We will convert the information from citizens bills and daily activities in total amount of carbon dioxide emitted. The web-portal will provide a simple, elegant and visual way for the family unit of monitoring their carbon dioxide emissions. The municipality establishes the annual co2 target for each household and through the monitoring of the portal, virtuous citizens are rewarded. Virtuous habits and behaviours of citizens reduce the cost of the investments necessary to reach the 2030 agenda... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

That’s how it works: • choose your itinerary (where, when, how many people);. • select a means of transport;. • select if you need an accommodation facility;. • our platform rates your travel sustainability: travel rating is based on co2 emissions, eco-footprint, impact waste, water use, seasonality. The result is represented as a dashboard made by 8 class from g to a+. G class is an unfair travel with big co2 emissions and unsustainable eco-footprint. A+ is the best rating, that means the choice of low emissions trips using to, e. G. , trains or electric cars and a sustainable accommodation;... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Ecoscuola Challenge

Ecoscuola Challenge wrote: We, a group of students and concerned citizens met for the first time at palermo’s climathon. We had one major concern in common; a desire to reduce green house gases. So we came up with an idea. We decided the best way to implement fundamental change was to start with the fundamental building blocks of learning. We decided to issue a direct challenge to our local schools. Our solution was to create the ecoscuola challenge, a competition open to all schools in palermo to encourage them to do their part to reduce co2 emissions and waste. Our idea was simple...
