Task 6: Energy calculation example

Example: Playstation 4

Assuming a daily playing time of 3 hours, the PS4 consumes 435 watts or 0.435 kWh per day. Extrapolated to a year, this corresponds to a energy of 158,775 kWh. If you multiply the annual consumption by 30 rappen per kWh, the electricity costs amount to about 45 Swiss francs annually.

The role of biomass energy

"Biomass" is a fancy word for something very simple: stuff that’s found in nature. People have used biomass energy ever since the very first caveman (Höhlenmensch) thought to make a fire out of wood! Today, biomass power plants use everything from animal waste to wood pellets to create electricity. There are lots of advantages to biomass energy, which is a renewable energy source.More...

Step 3 Experience

It's was a bit difficult because we haven't found any collaboration with another team. So we couldn't include other countries in our work.

Luckily we have found a good expert which helped us very much and answered our questions in a interview. 

overall, we are quite satisfied with how the work has gone so far. The cooperation between me an Leandro is going also very well.

What is our goal and how can we achieve it?

Our Topic

How can we improve the city climate?

Our Goals

In our project we want to show you, how you can improve the city climate. Another goal is that we want you to start thinking about our environment in general and especially in cities. 

How should the effect be achieved?

First, we have to study for ourselves, so we may could get in touch with an expert. When we have the required knowledge, it is easier to reach our goals.

Our Ideas

  • City trees
  • Renewable energy (for example solar panels)
  • E-cars
  • Public transport / bicycle

Who is the target audience?

Everyone.

The world in 100 years - Project idea

Our Project Idea


In this project we would like to know more about our future. For example some new technologies or solutions for the climate change. 

We are very curious how our world will look like in a couple decades with everything that it includes. From public transportation to our smartphones and even the way we communicate with each other.

We are specially interested in the future of our car industry. Are there still cars with old-fashioned combustion engines? Are there only electric cars on our streets? Do we even have cars in the future and if yes are we still driving them by ourselves?

In this project we would also like to make some interviews with experts.
