Go Green in the City 2017 Country Finals winners Iliana Bernice Tan and Aaron Jules De Guzman

The winner of this year’s Country Finals is Team Green Zone from the De La Salle University-Manila composed of Aaron Jules De Guzman and Iliana Bernice Tan with the project “The Radiative-Heat-Recovering (RHR) Glass.” Their project showcases a four-item design that serves as an energy-absorbing insulation system, reducing the total heat gain of a building while supplying energy for its own cooling system.

This innovative integration of transparent solar tube collectors and vacuum-insulated glasses gives the RHR glass three main competitive advantages over existing technologies: it is versatile, extractive, and sustainable.
