Alsace Case Shanghai Expo
The Alsace Case has a wonderful green wall (made out of plants) and a window waterfall, as I like to call it. The Alsace Case pavilion recreated the solar wall prototype of the Bouxwiller High School. A great example of how to use solar energy to control interior temperature. (more…)

Hamburg, Germany was awarded the European Greenest Capital for 2011. This is partially due to the HafenCity discussed in Part 5 of the Shanghai Expo tour. Hamburg has made use of innovative approaches for environmentally sustainable development of urban spaces. Hamburg has reached a 25 % reduction of CO2 emissions, aiming at a 40% reduction by 2020 and even an 80% reduction by 2050. The public transportation system is world class offering public transportation within 300 meters to 99% of its residents. (more…)

More than 25 people gathered last Saturday evening with scissors, markers, crayons, duct tape, and string to map out Tokyo’s everyday green spaces – large and small – during the first Tokyo DIY Gardening workshop. Held at 3331 Arts Chiyoda, a brand new arts space in a former junior high school, the workshop attracted attendees from all across the city. After a short presentation by the organizers, Jared Braiterman and Chris Berthelsen, on the purpose of the workshop and a little gardening exercise to warm up, participants began filling in sidewalk gardens, roof gardens, community gardens, and farms.

My favorite area was the Urban City Planning area where they showcased urban planning from various cities.
Hamburg House_Home of Hidden Energies
I was excited to enter the Hamburg House, the home of the hidden energies. It was another beautiful example of a passive house just like my recent article Japan’s First Certified Passive House. The Hamburg House uses about 10% energy compared to a typical building. The room temperature of this house can be kept at about 25 degrees celsius all year round without air conditioning and heating. The largest part of the heat requirement comes from the passive sources of heat such as the people inside the building, the appliances and sunlight. (more…)
