Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations

There is concern worldwide that environmental issues we face today will have an impact on future generations. Your challenge is to create a way to communicate the importance of environmental responsibility to people of all ages.

Save The Earth for Tomorrow

Summary

Global Warning Issues :•Emission of CFC, CO2 , Freon etc.•Release of heat from Various sources•Ozone Layer DamageChallenges for Future Generation:Heat Emission due to CFC and CO2We Have a Solution :•Use of PCM •Use of Green Concrete

How We Addressed This Challenge

We Did Some Study about Global Worming and NASA research on it.

So we tried to introduce some building material to reduce the use of AC and other electronic devices to reduce the emission of CFC and CO2


We introduced 2 process they are PCM and Green Concrete.


PCMs are materials that absorb or release heat from/to the surrounding area but do not change temperature during phase change. One of the most common types is paraffin oil, which is used to make candles. A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transitions into the liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without causing any leakage, it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside.


Concrete is made from concrete wastes that are eco-friendly are called as “Green concrete”. Green Concrete is a term given to a concrete that has had extra steps taken in the mix design and placement to insure a sustainable structure and a long life cycle with a low maintenance surface. e.g. Energy saving, CO2 emissions, wastewater.

How We Developed This Project

We took idea from the NASA data and other sources about the causes of global worming and about its remedies.


Finally we found that the PCM and Green Concrete are two best solution for this problem.

it reduces about 20% use of AC and that reduces the emission of CO2 and CFC.


on the other hand PCMs are materials that absorb or release heat from/to the surrounding area but do not change temperature during phase change. One of the most common types is paraffin oil, which is used to make candles. A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transitions into the liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without causing any leakage, it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside. so it keeps the weather cool.


and Concrete is made from concrete wastes that are eco-friendly are called as “Green concrete”. Green Concrete is a term given to a concrete that has had extra steps taken in the mix design and placement to insure a sustainable structure and a long life cycle with a low maintenance surface. e.g. Energy saving, CO2 emissions, wastewater.

so the toxic gas reduces due to production of cement also reduces.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

NASA did some research on this topic in 2013 - 2017

we studied the topic and got some data from that and used it in our project.


we tried to make the implementation more easier and user friendly.
