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

It’s all about who controls the energy algorithm…our current messed up system started when we put Govt in charge of energy distribution. Every house should be built with solar roofs, and wind turbines. You use what you collect and sell what you don’t need. Let nature teach us restraint and solidarity not our elected betters!

“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”.

This was pointless.

We need these solutions sure. But we also need low cost solutions that will help.

THE GREAT UK ENERGY SWINDLE
Octopus energy charge some people a lot more for their energy than others .
If you dont have a direct debit ,Kerching , dont have or want a smart meter ,Kerching .
If you want a fixed contract ,Kerching i dont have a smart meter or direct debit ,i want to pay for what i use so pay on receipt of bill ,giving meter readings the result is 68p per Kwh electric ,18.18 p for gas , 46p per day for electric meter & 28p per day for the gas meter .
The smart meters are supposed to send accurate information yet some bills are still being estimated under energy use . Smart meters are an EU item to control energy use in times of an energy crisis where the domestic energy can be cut off remotely and the energy is then available for the government buildings and industry who have different code numbers .
The UK did the same trick as the Germans did , where ministers & MPs took millions from Russia for the energy contracts & even have ministers on the boards of Russian energy companies .
UK did a deal with the EU to supply appx 80% of its energy via 5 under sea interconnectors ,
[ pipe & cable links ] with France ,UK wind turbines are made in China and owned by the EU
The so called green taxes go to the EU companies for the maintenance of the turbines such as the crews who have to inspect the blades for stress fractures and delamination of the edges that are patched up with industrial adhesives ,along with the replacement of the blades .
It was the UK government that scrapped the feed in tariff /scrapped domestic gas storage [ gasometers ] scrapped the green grant for an EV / raised the VAT on all thing solar from 5% to 20% and a lot more . UK green energy may supply on a good windy sunny day with appx 12% of UK needs .
We have energy companies advertizing 100% green energy when in fact UK has appx 3 /4 coal fired power stations appx 3 in mothballs but one on line , UK also has rubbish to energy plants , wood being burnt under the name of bio fuel where trees are chipped to feed the power stations and all of the energy is sent to the grid so anyone saying their energy is 100% green is a liar ,the whole thing is a farce under the EU save the planet zero carbon scam . April 2013 the energy prices go up yet again and UK politicians cant do a thing about it despite claiming £200,000 a year in expenses and getting appx £82,000 a year salary .
UK motor vehicles are still under EU laws as are all white goods and just about everything else like building regs . UK will be part of the EU again if the politicians have their way ,they have driven the UK into the ground and now need to get back to the EU so they blame them for the state of the UK . When local and national elections come around DONT VOTE FOR THESE SELF SERVING CARPET BAGGERS !
still belive everything on TV is real

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!
