Now what would make is sustainable is making sure that those 330 modules get properly recycled after their end lifetime.

I wish they mentioned what system they are using to heat the system and what kind of energy storage system is used.

English:

The project is interesting. However, the project, in my opinion, is desirable to supplement. Buildings must be built so that it is a complex solution of many problems instead of solving one or two problems without significant additional construction costs. This project, in my opinion, desirable to supplement the three low cost and developed earlier systems that allow the building to get a full independent power supply. Additions to the project are low-cost and is energy environmentally friendly.

По-русски:

Проект интересный. Однако проект, по моему мнению, желательно дополнить. Здания нужно строить так, чтобы было комплексное решение многих задач вместо решения одной или двух задач без существенных дополнительных затрат на строительство. В данный проект, по моему мнению, желательно внести еще 3 недорогих давно разработанных дополнения, которые позволят выйти зданию на полное самостоятельное энергообеспечение. Дополнения в проект недорогие и дополнительная энергия является экологически чистой.

Very creative… afterall an environmently frendly building (with 330 rooftop solar panels!) need not be clumsy and ugly.

Now they need to get their “green display” on the web. Keeping it locked up in the lobby of the building makes no sense.

How do the carbon emissions from the building rate, either in relation to buildings of similar size built recently or in absolute terms? That question is probably too vague, but I’m sure any answer will at least make me think!

What is the major use of wood in the building? Is wood used only for the south-facing shield-facade?
