Can green buildings save our planet from the rampant growth of humanity?
Here are some of the technologies and concepts that make up green buildings:
LED lighting
Solar-paneled apartment blocks
Cloud technology – which generates huge energy savings by reducing the carbon footprint of office-building computer networks
Prefab skyscrapers that can rise in days - cuts building waste and transport to and from the construction site
Prefabricated steel sections
Ready-made modules that fit together like Lego
Forest cities - buildings covered in trees and plants
Insulated walls up to 30cm thick
Triple or even quadruple-glazed windows
