and also smaller european films, like triangle sadness with went away with this year's top rise the palm. ok, scott rock rowen can. thanks so much. this is dw news live from berlin. you are now up to date. up next is shift living in the digital age, which looks at how smart green architecture can reduce c o. 2 emissions. don't forget, you can always good news around the clock on our website at d, w dot com. i'm next spicer, for me, the entire new scene here for linda. thanks. watch. with a taurus, this is the 100 german most reads on d w. ah, we're all set to go beyond the obvious

where as we take on the world, 8 our oldest, we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes to find, policeman follow with you. we are, your is actually on fire. made for mines with . ah, shift special, saving energy and buildings with smart technology and smart ideas. buildings am, it's a large share. the world's energy related greenhouse gas emissions to reducing their energy demand is an important part of tackling climate change. we took a look at

a housing project in indonesia and one in the netherlands taking 2 different approaches to achieve this goal. this isn't just any building. this is one of the most sustainable buildings in the world, the edge olympic in the dutch capitol amsterdam. thanks to a smart technologies, the workspace is energy consumption has been drastically reduced. this window by dutch start up fee even produces energy. very smart when a solution which is making use of reflecting light through the window through foil to then actually put solar panels in the frame on the sides. this window. and the sunny day has enough energy for me to be able to charge my phone on this little connection advice right here. saundra gritty works in the building for the real estate developer edge. she explained that every user here can contribute to saving energy by adjusting their workspace to any one of the features that we have in

an application for every use in the buildings to change light and temperature settings. as a default in this building, we have the temperature, the light a little bit didn't because you don't always need max and lights. that also saves a lot of energy and then we allow individuals to increase or decrease the light as they want. so here on my application, i can press light but, and then for example, put the light up to maximum possibility or even, you know, totally dim office. i'm doing a presentation. so also on temperature, i can also say, hey, i'm now connect to this room, and then in this space i can make it 2 degrees warmer or 2 degrees cooler, depending on what my preferences would be. energy exit clinician from the same time w r. i says technology that can be adjusted to the environment is important. instead of designing lighting levels and comfort levels for the worst possible case . by adding flexibility and giving people the ability to adjust their environment, it safe, significant amounts of energy. so technology is a key enabler,

and this is truly a scalable technology, not just in the global north and in modern major cities. but this technology can be brought anywhere in the world. edge olympic collects as variety of data to gain an understanding of where energy is consumed and where i can't waste it. basically is created as an i o t enable building. so i would see the internet of things. we have thousands and thousands of sensors in this building which measure everything from and temperature, a quality presence where people in the building. and then we all put that together to what we call ip backbone. it's basically the spine which goes to the building and connect all this data into one point and then brings that into the cloud. some of the senses are integrated into ceilings. the data is collected in a cloud and visualized on huge screen. but understanding what's actually going on in and around the building,

we are able to make sure that the building is using as minimum amount of energy that is needed when it is needed. and not too much when we could actually say, for instance, it helps people find a free workspace that suit the needs, such as with the right temperature and good ventilation data collected in the building is continuously analyzed to gain more knowledge on the actual use of the space, a lot of energy is being wasted while nobody's using it. so basically what we're trying to say that the building should have depth to the use, the building should understand. when are people in the building, when it's cold and warm outside? is it really a warm summer or cold summer and not just a scheduled one? actually has a little panels on the roof to produce its own energy. thanks to its energy saving measures. it uses 3 times less energy than comparable office building different floor. i was counted on the roof, topped paris to reduce the heat, flux through the roof. inside the green bio finnic workspaces provide

a healthy climate and actually pick was built with sustainable and repurposed materials and with many circular aspects. further method, 2 things. greenhouse gas emissions just kind of takes place clean if there's a lot of greenhouse gas emissions in the materials of construction. cement steel glass are very energy intensive, the manufacturer and typically use fossil fuels in their manufacture and steel. and some men also produce greenhouse gas emissions. through the process of creating them, the material used in this building could be recycled and up, cycled in the future. if the building is dismantled, at some point, we can easily find all the information of what could be reused and where could it be resold? so that material gets a new life. sondra routine is edge ones to inspire people to leave sustainably. all the plans, you see the atria, you see the,

the facade which has been reuse of the floor on the ground floor. there's so many elements in there where we try to basically make people aware of it and make it a conscious mindset on sustainability with the food and beverage and everything which is happening around here. that you almost cannot help yourself, but live a sustainable life when you're in this building could a building like this also be built in asia, africa, or latin america? every single claim its own has its own way of doing. thank. what we do see is that digital know how censoring understanding, what's happening in the buildings is probably the most universally applicable thing that you can do across the entire globe. because it's independent of how your building is built. this data can help you to optimize its operations. for companies such as edge cutting edge smart take is the foundation for saving energy. but there are other alternative approaches. i think we have a lot to learn from other parts of the world which are taking other approaches. and

in particular i, i have been very interested to see the development of 0 carbon buildings in blood global south which use passive measures such as poet preschool, clues to indonesia, capital jakarta. despite the tropical climate, the school has no air conditioning as this, but the yellow one quantum cnr to young air conditioning actually consumes a lot of energy and buildings such as schools and other public buildings to school, latin bone and public lane. yeah. so the challenge is how wells are memory, good, ventilation, get that and good lighting friendly lassie young, her bike than been around and young pay. this strategies called passive design. it uses natural light, heat, and air movement to reduce the need to light, warm or cool, a building using artificial power hungry methods. natural climate control can save lots of energy. something the building sector is in dire need of says e one,

pre john to chairperson of indonesia green building council. and gus got one me or one of the carbon dioxide gas from the building sector contributes to 39 percent of all the carbon dioxide gas in the world. wonderfully done a little bit earlier at the yeah, which means is the largest sector responsible for global war maggie am which leads to climate change in gallop us process by madison global and it will become worse in the future. and under that, i'll, i me to knock on mac and i can walk in barra, me community. so it's not just agriculture, the clothes, industry, and transport down significantly home our climate. but how can buildings be designed to save energy? for architect adeep will know new cross flint. elation plays a crucial role. he studied the existing environmental conditions such as the direction of the wind and to plan the buildings,

alignment and wind openings accordingly. that it in the near de la mancha. but mom, back to point, to lose my try to read the paths of the sun, hung in the hall, andy and the paths of the witnessing fella which are always eastward and westward by that to the orient as the class glossy naggie. as these classroom sita are eventually aligned, going east to west go, but my, my son or one up to that in the school designs in the law, they don't door remarked at the when windows are open, it'll get as pathetic that he gets a little hon. unsung anemia, fans with low wattage are used only when there is no wind at po a preschool. the pants on the walls also help keep the building crew. in addition, grass grows on the rooftop to cool the classrooms underneath. each of these measures makes a difference of $1.00 to $2.00 degrees celsius. when it comes to light. the roof has been designed to let natural lighting theresa in the reta is to who was

preschools project director. her vision is that students learn to adapt to their natural climate. instead of being in air condition, surroundings all the time. or actually our, the initial reaction was that some were very strongly opposed to this school, especially to it not using air conditioning. some said that that child would constantly sweat and prestige also played a role. i think they said my child has always been in air conditioning from when it was born in the hospital to leaving the hospital to going home. and now it's going to school without ac blowing up, a gas it that after a couple of months, the parents attitude changed it in my calendar. again. they started to realize that their child really benefited from the positive side of not using air conditioning, like rarely getting a positive medi a when it comes to air conditioning,

changing people's minds. it is an important aspect, says entity expert tobac tobacco energy efficiency is not only that movie, but it's also the behavioral behavior issue. for example, you know, not, not using light in the place. we need the not the air conditioning the hallways or the on the places where we don't need it. so, you know, making yeah. air conditioning unit should pulled up people but, but good. but not the plaintiff layer of the world. resources institute sees the whole preschool and model for the future. that is a great project. it includes many of the elements of the best in passive design. so they've done everything necessary to eliminate the need for air conditioning. plus, you know, that building is going to be very, very healthy because of all the fresh air going through. i think that is the future, or at least

a key element of the future. combining those passive elements with smart technologies . we're on site renewable energy. allows us to achieve what we been looking for, which is 0 carbs built out in 0 carbon buildings. the amount of energy used per year is equal to the amount of renewable energy produced on site or off site for the buildings energy to move. at po preschool, the plan to cut energy consumption is working. polar needs 50 percent less energy per square meter than an average indonesian school. did it stop at all yet? i think the project demonstrates that a green building. it doesn't have to be an expensive building. the other shuttle bus 130. my, as you can see here, to see me, the design can be a very simple in the end because on the sat sat there hannah, whether it's too clever design or smart technology,

these buildings are doing their beach to tackle climate change. ah, ah, into the conflict zone with sebastian little is known about the inner workings of the kremlin, especially with vladimir putin in power of my guest this week for me by mr. mccloud, cassiano. what on the phone. and he knows what happened to hire the closed door with on d w. one of mankind's oldest ambitions could be within reach. ah, what is it really is possible to reverse aging

researchers and scientists all over the world are in a race against time or like a w. d w's crime fighters are back to africa. most successful radio drama series continues in them. all episodes are available online, and of course you can share and discuss on d, w, africa's facebook page, and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in now little is known about the inner workings of the kremlin, especially with vladimir putin in power of my guest. this week, former prime minister because cassiano worked on the putin in the early 2 thousands and he knows what happens behind the closed doors of the russian government. he says he feared.
