Energy and design, Talk 3

The conference was introduced energietico illustrating different types of savings is by design, taking the concept of the life cycle of the product, but also presenting some mobility projects in which energy is revised in its modes of use.

Were presented some examples where nanotechnology are linked to sustainable issues, but also savings energietico. In spacifico there was talk of minor surgery, obtained by bulk and surface treatments that, in relation to a large scale, allow substantial savings in resources and power.

For example, have windows that stay cleaner saves both in terms of utilization of water and solvents, but also in terms of use of artificial light sources as a clean window allows you to have more light to pass in a ambienteiaro.

Similarly, surface treatment of this Oedipus possible to obtain solar panels that do not get dirty, while maintaining maximum efficiency for a long time from the panel.

Finally, the presentation of various new models that allow for Osram LED luminous intensity equal to that of existing sources of light “current”. Considering that the light sources account for 15% of world consumption energietico, the use of LEDs will save about 30% of envi value.

In the end if you replace all the existing bulbs with LED ones you would save about 5% of global consumption energietico.
