Green building blocks for bio-based plastics

Building - Blocks for Event - Based Vision Sensors

A nalyzing and understanding a visual scene and categorizing novel objects is so easy for us that we do not have to spend any effort to do it. Artificial vision systems on the other hand struggle in similar tasks. Despite the recent progress in computer vision and its increasing variety of applications, their functionality remains limited to well controlled environments solving very specific an...

The second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.

Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...

Bio-degradable Plastics- Impact on Environment

Game-Based Learning for Green Building Education

To improve education regarding sustainability and green buildings, we designed a multiplayer (2–4 people) green building strategy game called GBGame to deliver knowledge of and introduce applied technologies for green buildings. To verify the game’s learning effect, we conducted separate measurements using the ARCS motivation model and a paper-based exam among 72 students majoring in architectu...
