The self-watering wall-garden

Green Ambassador wrote: Green ambassador - the modern solution to urban gardening. If you've ever had your own garden to tend to, you know how time-intensive even just a small plant of basil can be. Out of this frustration, green ambassador was created. Solar panels collect and store energy in a highly efficient battery pack, while a smart humidity sensor in the soil measures and decides if watering is needed and turns on the pumps if so. It is a smart and beautiful gardening solution, which fits easily onto any wall and transforms it into an urban oasis. In short: urban gardening made easy...

Green Aqua

Green Aqua wrote: India is having 4% of world's fresh water, out of which 80% is used in agriculture. Green aqua will enable traditional farmers to transform their agriculture practices into sustainable method of farming by mimicking natural ecosystem in the farm environment. Our idea works on very basic principle of nitrogen cycle. Water with fish excreta is used as a source of nutrition and the same water is being recirculated for growing fish and vegetables and thereby saving 95% of water. Chemical pesticide usage is another pain point which leaves its residue on leaves and different parts of plants... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Green City Protocol

Green City Protocol wrote: Motivating people who reside in the city, who work in the city or are visiting the city, to help out with their actions - namely, using public transportation, walking, cycling or carpooling rather than driving each with their individual cars. We have an app mvp which will be launched in two levels: using google's tools to anonimously recognize whether the phone user is driving, walking or cycling. Using our own machine learning algorithm to very precisely determine the mode of transport (walking, running, scooter, motorbike, car, carpool, bus)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Make Nyíregyháza greener

Green Day wrote: As an answer that we concluded we should have a community centre, office which deals with local orders, management of parks, green zones and issues about the general public being uninformed and unbothered. The general person only rarely hears about these issues in the news or the radio, but most of the time continues to ignore the facts. This is one of the biggest problems– people are uninterested, especially the elderly, because they keep saying that they won't be around for long anyway and that it's not their problem anymore. But in fact, everything they do still adds up and continues to pollute the earth. We believe that there has to be a place, an initiative that informs and moves people, teaches them and makes them act... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Geothermal building cooling system

Geothermal Cooling System by Green India Building Systems and Services Pvt. Ltd. (GIBSS) is an innovative technology that replaces the rejection of heat to ambient air in the conventional systems by the rejection of heat to ground. In conventional air-conditioning systems, the cooling efficiency depends on atmospheric temperature. If the atmospheric temperatures are higher, efficiency of the air-conditioning system is lower and vice versa. The key innovation behind Geothermal Cooling System is the designing of a heat exchanger system that uses the earth temperature, which is much lower than atmospheric temperature to reject the heat. Lower temperatures significantly improve the efficiencies of the air-conditioning systems.
