Community Based Solar Powered Thermal

Thermal Thieves wrote: Active solar water heat storage systems offer a viable way to supplement current energy intensive methods of generating space heating and hot water. There are solar panel technologies designed for the purposes of collecting thermal energy from the sun and transferring it to a closed loop heating system. This on site creation and storage of thermal energy at the source eliminates the infrastructure and inefficiencies inherent in district heating systems supplied by offsite power generators. In addition to personal unit supplies, we propose a community storage system that operates on a separate closed loop and is energized once personal systems have reached capacity...

Community gardening app

Garden Tender wrote: Anyone with an interest in gardening can sign up to explore their city's gardens and gardeners and help each other produce sustainable food and build strong connections. Users can be complete newbies, advanced garden gurus, or even just those who have a patch to tend and no time to work on it. When they sign up, they can enter their own garden space, including any unused plots they want other users to collaborate on. Next they can use the map to find other users' gardens and available plots to tend close to home. If they're ready to start gardening, they can make a booking in an available plot, adding the plants they'll grow there. Plants will be stored for each user, and users can access a database of plant care info for each one... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Concentration of solar power

Absolicon T160 is a solar thermal parabolic collector that concentrates sunlight to produce heat and steam with temperatures up to 160˚C. The technology works by concentrating the incoming sunlight onto a receiver tube where a heat transfer fluid is circulated. The collector is mounted on beams in groups of 4. The beams contain an active tracking system that allows the innovation to follow the sun’s movement during the day. The tracking system is designed to also protect the machinery from overheating, high winds or other harmful weather conditions.

Consider your consequences

LoRaWahn wrote: We created an app which allows the user to access all this data and to get push up notification if he does something good. Also the goal is to start to sensitize the people to know what impact every decision can have. This project only started with lorawan sensors which can controll gas, water and electricity, but it easily can be enhanced with a farm of sensors for each person. All this is achieved by telling the user how great it is what he does, and that every little bit of change is a good change. Https://deploy. Dlw2f3bpbe2qd.
