What the Project Is About
Welcome to the showroom. Here you can see products and services designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time. This project boldly declares a climate emergency within the community. Future generations have the right to a climate-neutral society, and it’s this generation’s responsibility to make sure that happens. The current trend? Yeah, it’s heading in the wrong direction. So, radical system changes are needed to flip the script. The good news? There’s room to test new paths, but it takes support from everyone to make it real.
Main Benefit: Driving Sustainable Change
The project focuses on shifting how people act on this planet—towards sustainability and a long-term perspective. Changing habits is tough, no doubt about it. But with practice, even the most ingrained behaviors can evolve. Here’s what stands out:
- Active stewardship: managing natural resources responsibly and regeneratively.
- Effect management: balancing energy systems by juggling multiple factors at once.
- Efficient management: saving energy at home by timing usage to low-demand periods.
- Resource management in circularity: using the innovative Circular Asset Management (CAM) System for battery reuse and recycling.
- Documentation: keeping digital logs to forecast, learn, and prevent problems.
Urban Naturalistic Installations: Green Growing Globe II
One of the project’s exciting parts is the Green Growing Globe II—urban naturalistic installations that encourage a shift in how we interact with nature in cities. It’s about learning new ways of doing things, because changing habits is hard, but practice makes perfect. These installations aren’t just pretty—they’re a call to rethink and act sustainably in everyday urban life.
Technology with a Human Touch: Jidoka and Federation
Jidoka, a Japanese concept meaning “automation with a human touch,” plays a key role here. Technology alone isn’t enough; it needs context and thoughtful application. The project brings in extensive experience in control and regulation technology but warns against tech without purpose—it can backfire. Instead, collaboration through federation helps steer efforts toward shared goals, focusing on effects rather than just labor input. It’s about smart, connected management.
Energy Efficiency and Circular Economy
Energy savings at home get a fresh spin with smart management—like running laundry when electricity prices dip. NIBE’s system, for example, can cut household electricity costs by 5-10%, though it doesn’t reduce total energy use. The bigger picture? Balancing the entire energy system in real-time, visualizing outcomes, and making informed choices. On the circular economy front, the CAM system is groundbreaking. It optimizes battery value through reuse, recycling, and recovery, while ensuring compliance, traceability, and secure logistics. This is resource management taken to the next level.
Project Impact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13: Climate Action
- SDG 15: Life on Land
Common Resource Pool: Cooperation for a Better Future
The Common Resource Pool (CRP) concept is all about building trust and capability around shared resources. Cooperation means sharing responsibility, risk, and reward. By pooling resources and working together, costs go down over time, and stewardship becomes a collective effort. It’s a simple but powerful idea—when people collaborate, the impact multiplies.
