Green Building Forum 09

Just came back from Green Building Forum 09 today, had never expected such a huge turnout from the local guys.

Of all the speakers, I was particularly impressed by the presentation by Dr. Wong & Tony Chan.

Dr. Wong had presented his research about vertical greenery, a technique that uses plants to cool down the building, and most interesting part is that, these plants not only grows horizontally, (ie roof garden), but also grows vertically!

Tony presented about sustainable town planning, looking at a much bigger picture. With all the case studies presented, I think most of the audience got an eye opener.



One tips given at the forum for homeowners:

Insulate your roof! Because more than 50% of heat comes in from roof. With good insulation, we can all cut down the use of air-conditioning during summer.

Have a Green day ahead.
