1. How Green Technology is Being Used Chris B, Chris T, Kenny, Vera, and Dimitri.

2. Ways to Produce Green Energy Solar energy Wind energy hydroelectric power

3. Solar energy Solar panels extract energy out of the sun’s rays. Converts the suns rays into electricity that can be used in a house or business. Usually placed a roof tops for most sunlight.

4. Wind Energy A wind turbine works the exact opposite of a fan. Wind turns the rotors, that are connected to a shaft, that turns a generator and it creates electricity. Can produce great amounts of energy.

5. Off Shore Wind Farm The most wind is found in the ocean. Off shore wind farms are areas in the ocean were many wind turbines are built to produce energy. There is a big project called the Cape wind. This is a proposal to build many large wind turbines off the coast of Cape Cod. This project will produce enough electricity to supply ¾ of cape and islands electricity.

6. Green Technology in the Architectural Field Design Products

7. Design The amount of cubic space in a building has a lot to do with how much energy is used to heat or cool it. This also determines the size of the equipment for heating and cooling. Think of how long the equipment is running to get your home to the desired temp.

8. Products What makes building materials green is what they are made of, how they are manufactured and where the building site is compared to where they come from. Another factor is if the product is recycled or made from recycled products. Location is important.
