Sustainability € "the future is here and Itâ € ™ s full of holes

The future of building technology is here and itâ € ™ s full of holes. The Swiss cheese exoskeleton CDR Shell, the first sustainable, mixed-use condominium in Miami, Florida, is a hyper-intelligent efficient from the point of skin for the building structure, thermal mass for insulation, shading for natural cooling, terrace enclosures, induced by turbine energy production, and galleries to congregate at the ground level.

COR, represents a dynamic synergy between architecture, engineering structural and ecology. The design is revolutionary not only on a sustainable basis, but the visual impact. The printing of this building is to stop even in light of the current architectural trend to irregular nonlinear characteristics explosion in recent architectural landscape.

The building rises 400 feet, and seems to float above the city as an ethereal and futuristic being marked by a multitude of round holes in Swiss cheese, which sometimes join to form a bubble of life-pond effect.

The developer's architect claims to be receptive to the unusual design in which the building structure is both the skin and an opening to keep the turbines wind. Oppenheim notes that COR evolved from an architectural complex that includes a careful analysis of your site.

The surprise of the design emerges its functionality and its vision in creating an energy efficient sustainable construction. Oppenheim says he believes the building materials and opportunities € providing dual use ", for example, the skin of the CDR is only coating, provides an armature for wind turbines, protection against the sun and forms an arcade on the ground.

Rising 25 stories above € ™ s Miami Design District, CDR extracts power your environment using the latest advances in wind turbines, photovoltaic technology and solar hot water generation. With an estimated completion date of 2010, COR is 480,000 meters square, with 113 residential units ranging in size from 700 to 2,000 square feet, priced from $ 300,00 to 1 million. COR will cafà ©, 2 restaurants, office space and live work galleries.

Sustainable design is an architecture that creates a minimal impact on the environment and makes the most intelligent of the worldâ ™ € s declining resources. Sustainability and "green" design also includes the creation healthy indoor environments.

Water is becoming the new frontier of concern, both through density and drought. Greens and elements COR included sustainable water collection, capturing rainwater and roof run-off in tanks, filtration systems used in the recycling of greywater produced from washing machines, dishwashers and other appliances and light commercial use, and filtering again for use as irrigation.

The wind farm on the roof of CDR generation for reducing energy dependence on electric power and energy savings through solar hot water production. Devices Energy Efficiency Energy Star features will generally use less water. LED lighting is used instead of incandescent, natural light will flood glass inner energy through efficient and multiple use outside the building provides thermal mass for insulation and shading of outdoor terraces and kitchen.

COR has been received with applause. Adopted unanimously by the Urban Design Review Board of the City of Miami, the project represents the ideals promoted by the mayor Miami, Manny Diaz for their properties of green design and environmentally sound development. Oppenheim is part of Mayor Green diaza € ™ Committee.

Oppenheim said that this project can represent solutions to the problems of global warming, dwindling resources like land and water, and competition for resources less and less. Certainly shines through the new frontier of sustainability.

Moonray Post Cap Lamp-Solar

by lcrowley216 from on 2010-08-11
This was a great item, as described, and fast shipping. Very pleased with this seller


Work as Advertised

by Snowman59 from Cleveland, OH USA on 2010-07-06
I purchased 8 of the Moonrays Solar Post Lights. Product arrived when promised. All 8 lights work well. Good accent light. Extremely easy installation. I would purchase again.


Let there be light

by S. Baker from Spring Lake NC on 2010-06-17
This lights are so cool. They have a classy appearance and work great! So great in fact, I'm ordering 2 more. I didn't want to remove the wood from the top of the post,(just had my deck built) so I lifted the reflective plate inside and was able to screw them down and get the same look. A definite must have for the deck. Good quality and what's more they use the same battery that all the other solar light use. I purchased the 18 pack of rechargeable solar lights, so I'm set. What a great buy!!!


Post cap light set

by J. Lee from on 2010-06-08
Overall very pleased. This does not put out a lot of light as others mentioned but it actually puts out more than I expected. It will be interesting to see how long the batteries last. The only issue I had was I ordered 12 lights and one light was shipped with only one battery (not two). But I am certain Amazon will make that good. Great item!

Works fine and looks great!

by S. Nicklisch from on 2010-08-22
Its a tiny little cute solar light. Its only less than a foot in length and about 4 inchs in height. Also,each turtle is only about 3x3inch in size. Anyway, the light is yellowish-brownish (due to the carapace color) bright and turns on automatically at night (charging at day). Easy to use, just turn on and put it somewhere outside and enjoy it each night. We put it in the corner of our patio and it enlights the whole corner in a faint but cozy way.


Very small

by Pradeep Varadan from Ashburn,VA on 2010-08-01
I was expecting a much bigger piece since it was for the garden. Nevertheless, its done well and produces a nice glow at night


Very cute

by SNG (Mostly Happy) from MA on 2010-07-12
Looks very nice in the daytime. At night - one only sees the shells lit up so you can't really tell that they are turtles. They are cute.


great garden decoration

by Brittany Dunlap from Indianapolis, IN on 2010-07-07
was a tad smaller than I thought it would be, but still love it and seems sturdy enough for the storm season we are in currently. they remind of the turtles on the log in the lake behind the house.


Very cute

by Crystal from Las Vegas, NV on 2010-05-25
I purchased this as a gift for my mother. It's not too big. She actually keeps it inside as a decoration. We have not used it yet outdoors but it does not look bad inside at all.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

by Bruce Belford from on 2010-08-28
NOT ONLY DID THIS PRODUCT INPROVE THE LOOK OF MY FRONT YARD GARDENS,UNLIKE THE HARD WIRED GARDEN LIGHTS I TOOK OUT THESE NEW LIGHTS ADD NOTHING TO MY ELECTRIC BILL EACH MONTH


Awesome Lights!

by kamiraa from on 2010-08-23
I bought two packs of these. 20 lights. 2 so far haven't worked, and thats why I rated it a 4.These lights are great for the size, don't expect a ton of light out of them, but its enough to light up the walkway or as an accent to the house.I can walk down my walk way and see any obstacles no problem with these. The batteries looked a little cheap, I will probally replace those soon for a longer life.So far every night the 18 lights come on. 2 of them have never. I'm going to junk them or keep them around for spare parts.Not to bad, I would buy these again for the price!


Moonray Solar Lights

by S. L. Garfield from No. California on 2010-08-01
Received the order promptly. Just put them together, activated the battery and they all worked fine. Liked the price so, I ordered more.


Pretty night lights

by Ann W. from Nevada, USA on 2010-07-26
These lights are small but shine a pretty light along the faux creek-bed in the back yard. Don't think lights, think fireflies, and you'll get the size right. One star off because the stakes are a bit short (IMHO) and the lights are SO small. For the price, these are a great buy, though, and they add a sort of fairy-land charm to the yard.Setup was easy and quick. With a day's charge, the lights stay on sunset to sunrise. Silly as it is, my favorite thing is to watch them flicker on as evening falls.My box came with ten lights but only eight stakes. I requested the missing two stakes by email from Moonrays (3 weeks ago) but have not yet received them.


Nice little lights

by Megatodd from on 2010-07-06
Bought these from Amazon two weeks ago but only put them up this past weekend. Very fast shipping (as always) from Amazon and had them within two days of my order. Opened the box right away to look at them and was impressed how the Moonrays box had the individual tops pacakged inside to prevent breakage.As I was placing them this weekend along my front stone path there were two things I noticed. For one, the plastic is very light and seems fragile to me. I don't know how well these will hold up, but they look pretty good for now. The second thing was the length of the stake at the bottom. It was probably a little over 4" long, which was good because they should stick in the ground fairly well. The hardest part was trying to keep all the lights even with each other and keep them straight as I lightly hammered them into the ground. (*Note: Hammer the stakes into the first, them attach the tops. Don't try to hammer them with the tops on. Duh)Out of the package, I only found one light that was dim...possibly a bad battery or just needed to be recharged. But I used 8 of the 10 for my path and, so far, they have been great. They light up well enough to see the stepping stones but not overly bright. They just seem to bring a touch of class to the front of my house at night, which was all that I wanted.Overall, very pleased with this product. Took off 1 star for the 1 dim light and the flimsiness of the plastic.

Light up my night

by Andy Huang from on 2010-08-21
Very bright, easy to install, save energy, save money, and you light up my night, you give me fun to carry on...


Excellent !

by parttimepeddler from on 2010-08-09
I bought 2 of these lights to illuminate a large walkway around my home. They work very well and were easy to install. I did a lot of research and these are the best on the market..


MAXASA 80-LED SECURITY LIGHT

by O. Ogbonna from NYC, USA on 2010-07-12
I bought this product for my driveway because I did not want addition cost to run electrical line to the front of the garage. The product has worked very well, the neighbors could not tell that the floodlight was a solar product. The recommendation to anyone wanting to buy this product is to make sure that is adequate sunlight in the area you will be mounting the light. The light is most effective in areas that are not well lighted.


excellent solar light

by Charlotte Pakozdi from on 2010-06-30
I am very satisfied with this product: easy to install, easy to set up, works perfectly!


Great motion sensor light!

by W. Harris from on 2010-06-26
I was increasing security around my house and wanted to install solar powered motion sensor lights. I did a Google search and the Maxsa continued to come up. I like to purchase through Amazon because of their reputation. I recieved them very fast,put them out so the battery could charge,installed at locations I chose, and they works perfectly. You're able to set sensitivity of motion sensor and how dark you want it to be before they will come on+ the length of time the light stays on. So far,so good!

Short battery life

by J. Young from New Mexico on 2010-08-02
Like the stained glass however it does not stay lit for very long. Unlike other solar lights I have purchased before, this one stays lit for only a couple of hours.


Pretty & Sturdy

by Nana from Dallas on 2010-05-11
Very pretty both day & night. During a storm our roof came off but this little lantern stayed put with no damage. It is smaller than I thought it would be but I like it just the same.

Very happy with my purchase

by Annette Horn from on 2010-09-03
I bought these post side solar lights to light the stairs on my new deck. I am very happy with the look and the amount of light they give off. Thinking of buying more for my existing porch.


Fabulous

by C. Moran from on 2010-05-06
These are fantastic, put out quite a bit of light and I have four on my pool deck and one on the steps and they provide all the light I ned at night.


cheaply made

by BRUCE STEELE from las vegas on 2010-04-12
For $1 more, Home Depot carries one with 2 batteries, longer, brighter light and the back comes off for easy installation. I bought 5 of these and wish I hadn't.


Accent light

by lizzie-j from Midwest USA on 2009-10-24
These do just what I was expecting - we put them along the front of our new porch and it gives just a little down light when you drive in our driveway - not a bright light. Lights are smaller than I was expecting but work great.


Great little solar light!

by D. P. Olavson from Minneapolis, MN USA on 2009-09-14
Great little light. I was a little surprised by how small it is. Throws a lot of light on the stairs of my new deck. It also shines until dawn.

Caveat Emptor

by Gina9 from on 2010-08-18
The batteries themselves are probably fine. The problem is that the ones I received had already expired and didn't work. Amazon replaced them for free, but those, too, had already expired. The end result for me was a lot of hassle and I still don't have any usable solar batteries.


Batteries are not always "just batteries"

by Glenn A. Mumpower from DANVILLE, VA, US on 2010-08-10
This is a great product and performs at a level expected of only the latest state of the art technology.


moonray ni-cad batteries

by Gloria B. Bowser from on 2010-08-04
They should last for up to a year and the ones that I have used as replacemnts, 4 out of 12 have only lasted 2 weeks. Batteries should last far longer, so rather disapointed in them.


SOLAR BATTEREIS

by POOH from on 2010-07-16
THESE BATTERIES ARE AN EXCELLENT BUY WELL WORTH THE PRICE. I HAVE 12 SOLAR LIGHTS THAT REQUIRE TWO NEW RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES EACH YEAR, THESE WERE COST EFFECTIVE AND AMAZON SENT THEM QUICKLY, THE NEXT DAY.


Disapointing

by Cindy in Selden from on 2010-07-14
I found that although the batteries lit my solar lights brightly at first, as the weeks go by,they lose their power. We have had bright sunny days so I know that that is not the problem. I also let them charge in the lamp with it switched off for a few sunny days. Disappointing :(

tiki torch

by S. diaz from on 2010-08-05
If you are looking for a soft glow and flicker this is the item for you. The light itself looks as if you have an actual candle in its frosted encasing. If you are actually looking for a tiki torch that provides lighting then you may not want to get this one,it provides little light. I paired it up with other solar torches to create a lighted walkway through my garden in which it is perfect for.

by Kenny L. from on 2010-08-28
i was surprised how well this lantern worked for what i payed. went camping in yosemite, and i had 4 of these. so great to not have to worry about batteries and stuff.


Could Use Directions

by J. J. Laplace, III from Louisiana on 2010-08-27
The product did not have adequate instructions for operation, changing battery, etc. You had to figure everything out yourself.

by Kim from arizona on 2010-05-02
This lantern is pretty neat. It gives off a considerable amount of light and has an off and on switch unlike lots of solar products. It saves on battery life.
