A rainwater reclamation system will be installed and a photovoltaic system will supply the electricity to run a radiant heating system within the floor. Sounds like luxury, doesn’t it? It absolutely does to 1000 Green Steps.

BLIGHT

It is very annoying when black out happens; since that means your house have no electricity to light up your activities. However, if we manage to reduce electricity usage by not using any lamps, that will do a lot of favor for our Mother Earth. By this BLIGHT gadget, I am sure everyone sooner or later will be able to live without any additional lighting equipment.

Inventor’s words:

This solar blind creates a link between indoor and outdoor, taking the daylight during the day and giving it back at night. The advantage of the Venetian blind is to have a large surface exposed to sunlight in a small, cumbersome object. With the revolving blades we can follow the course of the sun in order to catch a maximum of energy. Moreover we can adjust the position of the lamp to obtain various lighting effects. The produced energy can be used to supply a computer or other devices, by means of an inverter.

This green innovation is invented by Vincent Gerkens.
