The Main question: What does the energy efficient neighbourhood of the future look like? Sub question 2: How do we change people’s behaviour? Sub question 3: How do we motivate young people towards changing their attitudes? Sub questions 1: What kind of measures can we take to make our homes more sustainable? Sub question 4: What do the people think of our ideas?
13
What kind of measures can you take to make your house more sustainable? Saving Energy: LED lights Don’t pre-heat Turn off your electronics and lights when not used Hang clothes out to dry Use a lower setting for your washing machine Saving water: Shower instead of taking a bath Turn off the tap when not in use Other ways to help environment: Eat better quality meat Don’t use plastic grocery bags
14
Why sustainable houses? You save money. You get the satisfaction of knowing your house is green. You get a more modern-looking house. You get a better quality house and life It brings the neighbourhood together.
15
How do you change people’s behaviour? The community Energy communities Help from the government More information and examples from already existing projects. A green city is more attractive
16
How do you change people’s behaviour? The costs LED lights: €11 per room Recycling rainwater: €4000 for 4 persons Double glazed glass: €500 per glass. Vegetable garden: €100 per year Share a car: €30 once and then € 0,15 per Kilometre.
17
How do you motivate young people towards changing their attitudes? Information at school Make the school sustainable Do fundraisers in schools A game about the environment An idea: Bicycle cellphone charger: €25
18
Yellow bike project It’s a bike sharing project, we would like to introduce to Haarlem Germany: €0,08 per minute €9 per day. €60 per week. USA: $40 a year. $5 per day. $30 a month. Netherlands: it’s called white bikes and you only have them in Amsterdam. Probably: €0,50 per 10 minutes
19
What do the people think of our ideas? We did interviews about sustainability Some already are sustainable Short showers Going by bike Sustainable houses Many want to become more sustainable but It considered too expensive People have to move out for the renovation
20
What does the energy efficient neighbourhood of the future look like? There will be events to advise the community about how to be sustainable. Most people will be travelling by bike, using public transportation or the ‘To Go Car’ They will try to save energy by making their houses more sustainable using the previous methods (insulation, double glazing glass, windmills) Everyone will separate their garbage – e.g. plastics, glass Chargers for the electric cars will be everywhere
21
Conclusion: How are we going to introduce sustainablity in Haarlem? We have to organise public events to inform people and make them more aware of sustainability Introduce electric buses Promote locals products so there will be less CO 2 emission because of reduced transport
22
Solution to convince the community to become sustainable Show them the pro’s of sustainability like saved money from the enery bill Inform them about the possibilities of sustainability Try to make sustainability into a hot topic
