The DSC project takes advantage of the
city's purchase of DSC manufacturing equipment to expand
the use of this versatile technology. By having a production
facility, the city can mass produce DSC panels, making
them cheaper. This reduces the cost of the panels to
the SCAF project, for city use, to sell to the city's
inhabitants and supply other cities building SCAF networks
who didn't acquire the production facilities.
A city today has many glass structures.
Bus shelters, public shelters, noise baffles on highways,
rooves etc. The DSC project aims to replace the existing
glass structures with DSC panels. If the structure is
there anyway and it uses coloured glass, why shouldn't
it use DSCs and work for the city? Also, by decentralizing
the power supply a little the city can protect itself
somewhat from massive power outages as seen most recently
across Europe.
If the
same 21 cities in Europe so far marked for the SCAF
project instigated the DSC project, and each replaced
250 bus stops, 75 shelters, 15 car park rooves, 13 city
building rooves(DSC tiling), 25 noise barriers 150
telephone boxes and 2000 windows with DSC panes working
at 10% efficiency, 48 Mw of green energy would be produced
per year by a distributed energy network. Reducing CO2
emissions by 28.4 million tons a year.
