Air conditioning with wind, sun and water: Ben Bronsema at TEDxDelft
Whoever said that "it's not easy being green", must have known what he or she was talking about. Of course, science has made some remarkable progress over the last decade when it comes to clean energy, but how many of those developed clean energy models have actually been integrated within the architecture of our homes and offices? (Power sockets excluded.).
We can hear you think, that stationing a big eco-friendly power plant on your rooftop would perhaps be a little too much, but somewhere in the nearby future you could consider to let nature take over the office building you work in!
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I am watching this video while it is 8 years old. Why are we not seeing these buildings anywhere? It makes much better sense!
The Egyptians created wind catchers still used in Iran today and hundreds of years old
You had a very rare type of wife. Very Sorry for your loss
I don't think this could be applied in hot humid climate.
Check out wind catchers of yazd
This system doesn't work at night
Wet the Rcc roof top by water in summer and rainy season it cools your house and increases life of RCC ROOF it causes precipitation thunder storm eventually causes rain.
need this for my room. should downscale it.
14:11 outdoor air quality is, unfortunately, not good in most places in the world
The first idea 💡 was okay the second was not so
Africans have been building like this for thousands of years.
Congrats to all Ben's team and for innovate without age borders!
Brilliant 👍🏼If you are interested in this, then you should also look for and is available. The Wind-catchers of Medieval Cairo and its Secrets.
Funny.. This technique was actually practically and is still being used in middle east since ancient times. You can google for wind catchers.
Good energy
Or you could go to Iran who have used wind catcher conditions since ancient times and still used today. They even used it to make ice in the middle of deserts🧊
This man should talk with Erwin Thoma i think they could create something beautiful together.
the engineer are responsible ow common tell it to Walter Gropius and legendary Architects.
Delft is Vermeer's birthplace.
Architects too are rational and logical, engineers are taught students, architects are educated ones, ya only if they take their job seriously.
Thanks for such a great concept. Just what I am looking for. Wonderful for the people who are in remote places with limited resources ! Love it.
I’m just thinking about chimney effect in case of fires.
As home owners we recently had a HVac project and I went looking for 'healthy duct work' and a 'healthy HVac system'. I have determined that a 'healthy HVac System' is like 'healthy building materials' both are oxymoron's.
Can this special roof be used also as a part of Wind power plants? Does it help to increase the harvest of energy?
The Austrian movie archive was build from wood and have a stable temperature which is necessary.
Erwin Thoma researched with experts from BMW and look how ants build their nests
Nothing impossible until ignorance says so.
nice ideas! low cost natural gas is the competion ….. NO! climate change CO2 models political junk science
I'm just gonna say 6:08
