This document summarizes a presentation given at the iCon Environmental Innovation Centre on June 30, 2011 about new business opportunities in the low carbon economy. It discusses Patrick Bellew's work at Atelier Ten designing sustainable, low energy buildings using pioneering approaches like thermal labyrinths and earth duct technology. It also presents several case studies of high-performance buildings designed by Atelier Ten that achieved low carbon conditioning through strategies like geothermal heating/cooling and displacement ventilation. Finally, it summarizes Atelier Ten's design of the Cool-Dry conservatory for Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, which maintains optimal temperature and humidity for plants through biomass-powered dehumidification and cooling.
