About James Schouw
Award winning Yaletown developer James Schouw is a designer, green-minded builder, philanthropist, and community visionary. A building by James Schouw looks unlike any other, anywhere else in the world. James is influenced by early Vancouver architecture with neo-classical elements but his designs are truly original and eclectic.
James oversees all aspects of his developments, from conception, to design, to construction. His timeless design with attention to detail and cutting edge construction, has created a devoted following. His buildings are on the ‘must-see’ list of Vancouver architecture and it’s a common site to see people taking pictures of his buildings. The beauty of his buildings have turned them into Habitable Art, art that people live in.
Best known for the dramatic style of his buildings, James is changing the way buildings are built and raising the bar for environmental sensitivity with his innovative designs. His landmark Grace building, at 1280 Richards, is the first high rise in the city to have been conceived with energy efficient geothermal heating, a technology that saves on heating costs, produces minimal greenhouse gases and has set the standard for other high end projects. The carbon emission reduction for Grace is the equivalent of taking 100 cars off the road annually. In addition to the Geothermal heating system, his projects incorporate a rainwater recovery system. He has also installed a fingerprint recognition security system that ensures only inhabitants gain entrance.
Creating buildings with a reduced environmental footprint is a reflection of James’ overall development philosophy. He has sense of responsibility to enhance the community and give back to society. A minimum of 50% of each year’s net corporate and personal income will be donated to humanitarian efforts over a ten-year period. Charity work is ingrained into his company’s values and culture.
Born in Winnipeg and raised in Vancouver, James studied physics at university but became fascinated with construction after spending time helping his architect father at a construction site. A natural entrepreneur he left school to start a successful ice cream distribution business and to pursue his interest in design and construction. His own dissatisfaction with what he saw on the market prompted him to build his first multifamily development, Iliad. James is a long time resident of Yaletown and always resides in the projects he creates so that they have the liveability that he would expect in a home.
James’ Grace building was awarded the 2008 Georgie Award for High Rise of the Year, was a nominee for best multi-family housing for the national SAM awards, and was a finalist for the international SPARK design awards. James is a past winner of Business in Vancouver’s 40 under 40 Award and he has been featured on CBC Television’s “Living Vancouver”, HGTV’s Lofty Ideas, and CKNW’s “Adler Online”. He is an occasional contributor to Business in Vancouver Magazine, writing articles giving his thoughtful perspective on Vancouver’s housing industry.
Question by udienowslave90: Energy Conservation?
Kim is riding in the front of a roller coaster. When she reached the highest point in the ride, 25 meters above the ground, she had her maximum potential energy of the ride. Ignoring energy loss due to friction, how many meters above the ground will kim be on the way down when her potential ene4rgy and kinetic energy are the same?
Ok don’t have a clue how would I got about figuring this? What is the formula? Please show detail
Best answer:
Answer by intel_knight
25/2 = 12.5
kinetic energy — how fast she goes
potential energy – how high she is
if we assume that her speed is zero at the top of the ride,
when she’s half-way to the ground, 12.5 meters of height were converted to speed, and she’s 12.5 meters above ground.

The German government has announced an ambitious plan to bring 10000 wind turbines along the North and Baltic Sea coasts online by 2030, in order to help meet Germany’s energy needs. But the construction of those turbines is a major task, and the work is taking longer than expected.Two giant converter platforms to facilitate power transport are now being built in a shipyard in Wismar. It’s the only place where there is enough room to install the high-tech, 18-meter platforms. Made in Germany reporter Claudia Laszczak visited a shipyard in Wismar where two new converter platforms are under construction. That means big contracts and big business for ship-builders, techonlogy providers and grid operators. But many wind park builders aren’t getting enough money to fund their investments – which means the transition to renewable energy could come to a standstill.

This funnel shape wind turbine compresses the wind much like a jet engine. This provides more power even at lower wind speeds. www.vortexwindfunnel.com

divinecosmos.com In this heavily-anticipated sequel to 2012 Enigma, (#1 Most Viewed on Google, 12 David Wilcock presents a compelling case that the prophecies of a Golden Age are not myth or superstition. Our DNA has been evolving 100 times more rapidly in the last 5000 years due to a natural galactic process which is also creating climate change throughout our entire solar system. If the prophecies are correct, psychic abilities and powers such as telekinesis, levitation, spiritual healing and telepathy may soon become as common as breathing. The Mayan Calendar, the Timeline in the Great Pyramid of Giza, the story of Jesus Christ in the Bible and many other ancient mystery schools and spiritual teachings all speak of a great tribulation that transforms Earth into a Utopian Age. Many misunderstand these prophecies as predicting pole shift, asteroid collisions, supervolcano eruptions or Armageddon thanks to Planet X, alien invasion, Illuminati/government takeover, or a solar event. Russian physics reveals that anti-gravity, free energy and time travel technology arise from a Source Field that is the energy of Mind, Spirit and Consciousness. Life emerges from nonliving material by Intelligent Design and evolution occurs in sudden bursts that repeat in 26 and 62 million year cycles, apparently the result of energy waves gradually rippling out from the center of the galaxy and transforming our DNA. For at least 1200 years, crop circles have presented symbolic messages of DNA …
