This presentation describes how use of judiciously selected Phase Change Materials can be used effectively to store energy and make it available when needed.
In a solar thermal application, typically sunlight is available in a 6-8 hour window from 8am to 4pm. However, the usage extends much beyond that. Phase Change Materials can be used to store energy for usage as required.

SHARED GEOMETRY TANGIBLE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTJoan Terres
The project consists of an application on geometry that can be "shared" by any person, whether or not visual impairment and / or low vision.
This is a set of exercises created with Scratch, with the help of card / RF chips built-in physical pieces - to interact by touch and sound with your computer.
Cards / chips RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), can replace the mouse and even keyboard.

Challenges implementing Green Initiatives in Tall BuildingsTejwant Navalkar
We take a look at challenges in implementing Renewable Energy to meet Green Building Requirements in Tall buildings. This paper also suggests possible solutions to meet these challenges through a case study and makes a case to review the existing Green Building guidelines with respect to Renewable Energy to make to effective and socially relevant.
