And it is in Germany. The European Union has spoken up against the use of unrenewable energy sources. What is amazing is that the climate change we’re experianing right now might indeed lead us into a new direction. In fact maybe a new light. What I glimpsed today was a BBC news report with a very small mention of a rotating solar powered house that directs its panels to the sunlight. I was very hard pressed to find out as much as possible. The BBC did feature an article hours later about Heliotrop Freiburg, in Freiburg Germany. The Heliotrope gently rotates to get as much sunlight for its solar panels and thus creates more energy than it even uses.
The man that designed the Heliotrop is Rolf Disch who has created entire solar communities at Schlierberg.
The buildings aren’t only eco friendly in the sense that they use solar, or green power, but that they harmonized with their environment. According to this site the buildings also offer smart venhilation systems and even reduse noise pollution. I am so moving to Germany and having this guy do my house.“Maximising the use of solar energy and minimising heat loss – that is Disch’s mantra”–Goethe Institut
At his site you can take a virtual tour of the Heliotrop.
