1.What is Masdar City? Why did the UAE decide to build it?The UAE decided to build Masdar city because Masdar will be the world's first carbon neutral city. 2.What are some of the features that help reduced the city's energy and water needs?Masdar, 80% of "greywater" from washing machines, sinks, baths, and showers, is purified and re-cycled. 3.Why do some people believe that Masdar City will never be completed? Why does the author believe that the experiment is still successful?Some people think Masdar city will never be completed because of the cost.The Author thinks it will be successful because Masdar City does provide some interesting design innovations. 4.Which one of the innovative energy or water conservation techniques being used at Masdar could help your city or town the most? Why? If everything is motion activated it would save a lot of energy.

1. Masdar city is the world's first carbon neutral city. a. UAE decided to build it so they don't harm the environment. 2.Some of the features of Masdar city are: they use electric pods instead of cars; They use wind tunnels for air conditioning; and they use a tower plant to absorb sunlight. 3. Some people believe Masdar won't be completed because it is a very complex project and it costs 20 billion dollars. a. The author thinks the project will be completed because people are putting lots of effort into it.

1. Masdar is a city that is just outside the most unlikely of locations-the oil-rich Abu Dhabi. It runs without carbon, and it only uses natural energy. The UAE decided to build it because they rely on the oil wells, and the officials are well aware that the oil wells will eventually run dry, leaving them with no choice, but to resort to renewable sources of energy. 2. In Masdar, the "greywater' gets recycled. The water from washing machines, sinks, baths, and showers gets purified and recycled so it can be used again. In order to minimize wastage of water or electricity, the designers eliminated faucet handles and light switches inside buildings. Instead, everything is motion activated! Officials say that this feature has reduced electricity consumption by 51%, and water usage by 55%. 3. Some people think Masdar will never be completed because of how much it costs to build it. Over the past six years, it has only been completed about 15%. The author believes that the experiment is still successfull because the UAE has come up with many clever ideas that other cities can use. 4. I think that the thing that would help our city most is to get the "greywater" recycled and to make the faucets and light switches motion-activated.

Masdar city is a city created to leave less pollution and greenhouse gases

some people think masdar city will not be completed because it is so expensive

Masdar city is a energy saving city that uses solar panels and plant towers for water and they use washing machine & bath water and purify it.The reason some people believe it wont work because it costs ALOT!!!!! The author believes it's possible if other cities do the same.

2. one of the features that helped reduce energy needs is a wind tower, which catches wind and pulls it down to the city

Masdar city is a city that runs without energy.They built Masdar City because they knew the world was going to waist a lot of energy someday,so they decided to plan ahead and build a solar powered city. Some of the features they reduce include solar powered energy,and panel on every other side of the buildings. Some people believe that Masdar city will never be completed because it costs so much money and it is only 15% done.The author believes it will be successful because it will catch peoples atttention that they are using so much energy,and if it's not done they'll never be able to prove that. I think the thing that will affect our city the most is energy panels and solar panels.It would help a lot of things if that did happen.
