What If Buildings Created Energy Instead of Consuming It? | Ksenia Petrichenko | TED

Ғылым және технология

Buildings are bad news for the climate -- but they don't have to be. While our structures are currently responsible for a third of global energy consumption and emissions, a future where they create more energy than they produce is possible. Energy policy analyst Ksenia Petrichenko has a three-tiered strategy for thinking differently about buildings, transforming them from passive users to active players in the energy system and bringing us closer to our climate targets.
Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at countdown.ted.com/sign-up

    Fantastic TED Talk! I'm aiming to build my new house to LEED Platinum-level certification, but I'll be happy if I hit Gold-level certification. There are SO MANY ancient building technologies, as well as new and upcoming technologies, which we can use for building our homes and yet still have our modern conveniences! I'm still a beginner in learning this stuff, but things like building walls with rammed-earth/no cement, having a rainwater-harvesting system with a cistern for the outdoor gardening, using radiant floor heating for increased heating efficiency, adding towers for passive evaporative cooling reducing reliance on air conditioning and more! I am highly excited about the new things I learn everyday on how to not only reduce my carbon footprint, but also to reduce my utility cost in the future during my retirement. It'll be nice not paying an arm and a leg for utilities when I get old. 🥰

    It's great in theory. The trouble with all this is, is that it requires everything to be rebuilt - again. Take an office block for example - efficient for energy use to all people working from home, as a bus or train is, to individuals all going by car. An energy efficient office block that people, walk, cycle, and get public transport to, as the perfect energy saving scenario (ignoring the reality of everyone still wanting to work from home). An efficient block built in 2000, is hopelessly inefficient by todays requirements, and as such, most are being renovated at huge cost to meet carbon zero emissions. But, all these newer techs - solar panel windows (which makes A LOT of sense btw - particularly seeing as most office block exteriors are sheets of glass), battery charging floor panels (through vibrations) etc - have missed the boat. Not to mention their cost. In another 20 years when buildings renovate again - is it too late? And then there's personal homes - people get mortgages for a lifetime on existing properties. It's hard enough paying that. It like the internet - the speeds are there, but it takes decades to roll out full fiber to replace the existing network - only much, much more complex, as buildings are bogged down by long term, and lifetime contracts to old pre-existing energy in-efficient properties. I remember Tomorrow's World on the BBC talking about such energy efficient predictions in the future in the 80's. But going through life I see, that the problem has always seemed to be real world infrastructure and human society, rather than technology itself, that holds everything up. But otherwise, of course, I agree. On another note altogether (and I do apologize in advance to the presenter if any way inappropriate - it's a compliment from my neck of the world!): what a fantastic Bond girl she would make! The look, the accent, the brains, a Russian born free thinker working on the importance of taking Europe away from Russian fuel dependence. There's even a current and relevant plot line in there too!

    Great talk, I like it. Has a lot of theories which are under research and application right now. Indeed, we need to rethink and redesign our building to make it more comfortable, more efficient and more sustainable. However, this way of thinking "the researcher's dream thinking" has a lot of inefficient thinking and I dea. Just imagine, at 4am, when the temperature is -40 degrees outside and the "intelligent grid decided there is a high demand on energy and we need to stop supplying heating water to some buildings. This way of thinking looks like Robin Hood's story, which tries to steal from the rich to feed the poors. However, the rich will never, accept their money to be stolen. If you do not get the idea, just rethink, all required technology relies on silicon chips. Silicon is rare in nature, and those chips, according to my knowledge, are not recyclable up to the moment.

    I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 175K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities.

    "In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future".

    There no way to solve climate change there just isn’t. There also not as huge a problem as climate activist wanna paint either. The main offenders are 3rd would countries like India and Africa along with Latine American that either burn there trash in incinerators daily or have inefficient power grids that are 50+ years old burning more fuel to produce the same amount of energy develop countries produce for a fraction of the fuel consumed. There also the issues of production plants in places life Africa that don’t have eco laws due to how financially unstable there government are and putting those laws in place would create more lost in revenue than fines would generate.
