1. By Matt Kristire, Tyler Fox, and Danny Gorman Green Robbins Park Building

2. Rain barrel collection system rainwater collected from the gutters goes back into the building water used for toilet

3. Double Envelope House energy savings cavity in-between the 2 roofs heats similar to the green house effect shades can be installed in the cavity to control solar gain

4. Straw Bale Insulation the R-values- double or up to triple that of traditional allow for smaller heating and cooling systems lower energy bill

5. Green roof roof is completely covered with vegetation includes additional layers such as a root barrier, drainage and irrigation systems vegetation increases life span of the overall roof dramatically - insulation improved by vegetation not allowing heat to escape during winter

6. Low flow toilet the toilet we have in use in our building uses only 7.2 liters of water per flush low flow toilets use 172 liters less water per day than conventional however, we dont have to worry much about water costs due to our rain barrel collection system looks like a conventional toilet

7. Tidal Power Plant a huge lagoon like structure is built, much like a dam, that has gates in it which allow the water to flow into the area with the incoming tide the gates close when the tide backs out- the water that is trapped inside the area flows out thru generation turbines that spin with the outflowing water -electricity is created improved transportation because of the development of traffic or railroad bridges across estuaries generator walls can help to reduce the damage of very high tidal surges or storms on the land no pollution http://www.odec.ca/projects/2006/wong6j2/tidalAnimation.html
