Sustainable Technologies As we are working on sustainable development projects in different countries, ICSD identify new technologies that can help us to achieve sustainability. You can find some of the best technologies existed on this page. For more information on these technologies, please contact ICSD at: info@solarcities.org. |

The Center is dedicated to promote new, efficient, cost-effective technologies for sustainable development. Currently, ICSD is working with the following technologies:
Distributed Generation & Combined Heat and Power The Distributed Generation (DG) system is a new way to supply continuous energy to facility. It can be installed inside or near a building to provide electricity and optionally, heat. DG can help the customer save money in buying energy, reduce environmental impacts, and avoid power outages. DG integrates the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology to cogenerate heat during the electricity production, to provide heating, cooling and power to facilities such as factories, greenhouse, and hospital. More information, please contact ICSD.
After a few decades
of development, solar power
technology has
Straw Board - The Solution to Burning Straw
Burning straw in the fields
after harvesting has been a major
environmental problem in many
countries, especially developing The Enviro Board Corporation developed and patented a fiber extrusion process that produces a low-cost fiberboard suitable for home and building construction, plus many other uses, such as wall panels, door cores, office partitions, freeway sound walls. The process eliminates the need to burn agricultural waste and produces an environmental friendly building material.

Geographic Information System (GIS)
GIS technology
combines powerful database
capabilities for spatial data, with
the unique visual perspective of a
good old-fashioned map. It is a system of
computer software, hardware, data,
and personnel to help manipulate,
analyze There are numerous application of GIS in sustainable development. We can use it to study and manage eco-system, track the effects of pollution, locate sustainable facilities, manage natural and renewable resources, design transportation and energy system, study demographics and growth pattern, monitor environmental quality, etc.
Waste Water Reclamation & Reuse System (WWRR)
This circular waste water treatment
system is based on the ecological
