Offsite 2007
Notes: At a Glance: Offsite 2007 was an exhibition hosted by BRE in response to England's new Code for Sustainable homes. Seven companies each designed and constructed a fully-functional building, using the most cutting edge "sustainability" and "smart" (sensors and automatic controls) technologies to generate the smallest carbon footprint possible. The park is still open, and the website offers photographs and descriptions of all of the buildings. Best for: Anyone interested in seeing how far green technologies can go, while maintaining stylish design aesthetics. Standout Features: This site has a high "cool factor," which can inspire people to want to learn more about sustainable housing. The photoblog highlights real technologies which can be put to use today. The photos are very well done, and the descriptions are quite informative. Keep in Mind: Funding for the individual buildings came from the firms which created them -- so each individual company naturally promotes its own products, as well as the products of any partners they may have. BRE itself is a non-profit, charitable organization. This is a British exhibit, so not all products/technologies featured may be available in the rest of the world. Suggested by: donahrm |
