Edificio sostenible

A new Calla lily-shaped research center for Wuhan University is set to bloom in China as one of the most sustainable buildings the world. 

Grontmij and Soeters Van Eldonk  designed an eco-friendly tower in the shape of a flower--the calla lily, to be exact. The Wuhan New Energy Centre will have zero carbon emissions and, thanks to its solar panel-covered exterior, will even boast net zero energy.

The office building will collect rainwater for its water supply, and use wind turbines to generate wind energy. The 140 m tall Wuhan New Energy Centre will be surrounded by laboratories in the form of leaves.

Lyrics:
 Going Green Song
 I turn the faucet off when I am brushing my teeth
 I turn the lights off when I am going to sleep
 I use cold water to wash laundry
 I do all that I can to save energy

 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
 I’m going green, I’m keeping the Earth clean
 I’m going green, I’m keepin’ it, keepin’ it clean

I reuse rechargeable batteries again and again
I shop at the thrift store to find a great bargain
I take my bottles and cans and recycle them
 We’ll make a better world if we all join hands

 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 
I’m going green, I’m keeping the Earth clean
 I’m going green, I’m keepin’ it, keepin’ it clean

 Reduce energy, water and waste
 Reuse what I can before I throw it awa
y Recycle CD’s and DVD’s
Newspaper, Junk Mail and Magazines
 Cell Phones, Cardboard and Old Machines
 I’m going green, would you go with me?
