This project is Located at Weöres Sándor utca -Pécs, Hungary, It's a design of a complex residential Area.
This design has a unique outdoor and interior design in terms of sustainable residential living, therefore, Aside from the beautiful appearance of the timber terraces, the function merely focused on giving the ability to feel like you are living in a green area, by the concept of a treehouse design.
For the circulation, the design had focused on a vertical circulation in the buildings, therefore, it's beneficial for the lighting, shading, ventilation and thermal insulation.
The first thing about going green is to maintain the green land and the so-called forest beside the site, but redesign it in a way that helps people use it, and connect the people to their nature. Pecs is a great place to cycle, therefore, Developing a bicycle lane and a cycle park would be the first step to the consumption of CO2 wards going green and reducing the carbon emission.
The Solar Powered Bike Lane Technology These Bike lanes are powered by solar panels, also glow in the dark, create a good atmosphere while being a good factor for CO2 reduction, generates energy that can be used for the lights Park lights generated by solar panels energy Natural materials will be used in the construction of the installation to reflect through generating long-lasting and memorable structures.
This design had achieved these points :
1. Use Smart Meters
Smart meters offer huge potential benefits to the environment. Their advanced technology records energy consumption in short intervals of an hour or less, then automatically sends meter readings to the energy supplier. With their in-home displays, smart meters give consumers real-time information and feedback on their energy usage, how much it costs and its potential impact on the environment. Smart meters can also help integrate renewable energy sources such as windmills and solar panels.
2. Improve Public Transportation

2. Improve Public Transportation
A properly optimized public transportation system is one of the most critical areas to consider when examining ways to reduce a city’s carbon footprint. Households that use public transportation typically drive around 4,400 fewer miles per year than those that only drive cars. Buses, trolleys, subways, cable cars and commuter trains all contribute to an annual savings of 4.2 billion gallons of fuel annually in the United States. Cities investing in public transportation have already reduced our country’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons a year. Put another way, the savings would be equivalent to the electricity use of Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta, Washington D.C. and New York City combined.
3. Construct Energy Efficient Buildings
One of the more popular ways for a city to reduce its carbon footprint is to make its buildings more energy efficient. There are several practical, cost-effective ways that building owners can lower their emissions. Make the building weathertight by adding weather stripping, sealing elevator houses on the roofs, tightening loose windows and caulking outlets

Provide a healthy indoor environment that is free of mould, moisture and carbon monoxide by installing a ventilation system
Use triple glazed windows with fibreglass or wood frames Add new, or improve existing, insulation In summer months, install sunshades above windows to keep out direct Sunlight
4. Invest in Solar Energy
Recent technological advances have allowed solar power to gain more mainstream acceptance and attract the interest and investment of major utility companies. While its per kilowatt cost is still considered expensive compared to coal and natural gas, the overall cost is decreasing rapidly.
