Innovative Energy Harvesting Exposition Park of Kaunas Science Island Museum
Innovative Energy Harvesting Exposition Park of Kaunas Science Island Museum

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a project idea of innovative energy harvesting exposition park that involves utilizing the area around the proposed Science Island museum in the City of Kaunas. The project presents various Energy harvesting structures such as Photovoltaic Geodesic dome, Photovoltaic Trees, Wind Energy Trees, Piezoelectric Rain Farm, Photovoltaic Floors, Luminescent roads, and three alternative Landscape architecture layouts of those structures within the surrounding area of the Science Island museum. The paper covers the energy calculation of those energy harvesting structures and their construction cost analysis. The energy calculations show significant role in powering up the park area, however it does not cover the energy demand of the main building of Science Island museum. The purpose of constructing energy harvesting elements is to demonstrate for the visitors the application of innovative technologies for electric energy generation. The paper concludes that the implementation of these innovative energy-harvesting elements through means of Landscape Architecture not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the Science Island museum but also provides alternative energy resources for electrical elements inside the park.
