And in contrast to their monolithic image abroad, government bureaucracies don't readily talk to each other, making it hard to design liveable cities with coherent buildings, transport and landscaping or push energy efficient innovation.
If they each give birth to a gazelle — a lean, energy-efficient and innovation-friendly stimulus — it will be the opportunity of their lifetimes.
We analyze the Dutch energy-efficient housing innovation system and conclude that neglecting interactions between systemic problems may not only lead to inaccurate problem diagnosis, but also to ineffective or even counterproductive interventions.
Geall said: "Certainly in terms of US-China relations, it is the one area where they have created a proper, active, cooperative relationship … [There are] a lot of flights back and forward, a lot of cooperative projects on coal, on renewables, on energy-efficient buildings, on innovation.
Specializes in energy-efficient lighting design.
First, we unravel the mechanism behind directed technical change, explaining why markets may underprovide innovations in expensive renewable technologies in comparison to innovations in energy-efficient fossil-fuel generators.
In addition to a series of energy-efficient measures, the most eye-catching innovation in the design of Pearl River Tower is the deployment of four wind turbines installed in four openings in the tall building for power generation.
In our first five episodes, we spoke to Pauline van Dongen, a clothing designer who's creating energy-efficient fashion that integrates solar-power innovations, and explored technologies such as SubPac, a device that lets users feel sound.
