Dinking WaterDrink recycled water.

LamboSweet lime green Italian Sportscars to hide the fact that oil is running out

Alien Power FormsUse all the remaining oil in the world to travel to an inter-galactic gallery to learn power generation techniques

FarmingGenetically modified children who tend to tiny farm ani-mals for ffod production without the use of oil

TelephoneUse the electricity running down the phoneline to power an automatic dog door which powers a dvd player.

Building CubesBuildings made out of reusable panels that can be re adapted when the building is renovated/re developed

CashDecentralised power suppliears. All buildings have the ability to generate power and pump it onto the grid to recieve money. This will propmote individuals and small businesses to come up with new power generations ideas.

Snail MailGiant birds to deliver goods instead of motor bike couriers

Guys With GunsHired guns to protect energy stores and steal other peoples

Bug ZapperLight which doubles as a bug zapper that attracts bugs to collect for food.

Fish and ChipsLiving aquariums in water tanks to provide food and assist in processing grey water - breaking down sewerage.

DinnerCommunal dining in large buildings to centralise and reduse enerfy requirements for cooking

Designer ProtectionGunpowder utalised to generate power.

Computer Controlled LivingAll power using appliances controlled by a centralised computer to reduse any power wasting

Plug in PowerPlug in power for electric cars provided by power gener-ated by the buildings they are parked in.

Car RecyclingDevelop uses for integrating the large surplass of unre-quired cars for building products

Bike TransportFocused transport for bike riders. So they can literally park and ride.

Bike HighwayRe appropriate old freeways/train lines for bicycle use.

Tiny BikeFree bike storage/bike hire to all large buildings

High Rise FarmsFarms in the inner city to remove the energy needed to transport goods from the country into town

GuildsReintroduction of localised manufacturing industry rather than a service based economy as produce must be sourced locally to eliminate shipping and its associated energy requirements

DiggingUtilise earth excavated to create structure - rammed earth walls etc. reduses the need for building products to be trucked in and the excavated soil trucked out.

Mad MaxFortifications to protect buildings and their power supplies/stores in the ‘mad max’ times of a post oil city.

Growing BuildingAn organic building - elements of the building are growing plants. Grow in spring to provide shade in summer and then harvested in autumn to provide fuel for heatung in winter. Could also provide food

Roof PlantRoof is a water tank with solar panel on the base. Water protects sensitive solar panels and refracts light doubling the efficiency of the panels

Water TankWater tank panels that provide insulation. treat grey water and provide privacy and the ability to let light through.

The OfficeVirtual offices in dwellings to eliminate the need for people to comute to work but still function in an office environ-ment

L’eauAll water is recycled and reused to eliminate pumping stations

VoyeurCCTV to other apartments to provide entertainment with-out central television stations or studios

DaygloLight storing materials which emit absorbed light when it is dark

Living LightingOrganic lighting - glow worms, phosphorescence. Candles too.

LandscapingIntegrated landscaping to the facade and roof to provide shading and cooling features.

Structural CoolingChilled/heated hollow structural members to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of heating/cooling systems.

WindCross ventilation of all rooms to reduse the requirement for air conditioning

Clothes PowerClothes could be equipped with tiny power generators/solr panels that work off the movement of the body. When clothes are hung up at the end of the day they could transfer the power to a central power reserve.

Hot EarthBuilding could have geothermal tap to make use of the earths hot core.

Drain GainGenerators in the sink, toilet bowl etc to make used of the waters passing through to power utilities in the building

People PowerSpongy floor, bed springs could harvest kinetic energy of people walking around building. Energy could be used to power building.

Pedal PowerExercise machines within a building could generate power amd stored in central battery for later use. People pow-ered electricity

Solar PanelsThe entire facade of a building, including the windows to be covered in solar cells.

Wind TurbineThe whole building is one giant wind turbine or is covered in wind turbines

Waste ReusedMethane from the toilet harvested and utalised for cook-ing. Used cooking oil used to generate car. Many deep fried meals required to go on a long trip.

Train EnergyIf a building is sitting atop a train line, the kinetic energy from the passing trains could be harvested and utalised to power the building

IncineratorAll waste from the building is incinerated on site. This eliminates the need for garbage removal and could be used to generate power. A filtration or storage devise would be required to eliminate pollution.
