Renewable Energy
The LightCties are designed to become energetically self-sufficient:
- By the use of renewable energies produced on site
- By maximizing the energy efficiency
Energy Efficiency
By eliminating the need for cars and consequently the need for roads, parking spaces, gas stations and all other required spaces that are related to the automotive industry, we are saving a lot of room and energy. As an example, a building of 500m diameter by 150m high can provide very comfortable lodging space and living area to more than 50 000 people, including their working environment, parks, sports facilities and recreational area for all kinds of activities.
In order to increase the energy efficiency, we will use many heat exchange systems to recycle as much energy as possible, from every thermal mass (air and liquid) exhausted from the city.
