Plans Unveiled for Texas' First Commercial Building Striving to Achieve Net Zero Energy Operational Carbon

This project is expected to minimize wasteful energy use from the implementation of a rainwater harvesting cistern, full roof solar panels, LED lighting, and a sensory system.

Scientists Show Large Impact of Controlling Humidity on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

While the energy used to power air conditioners has clear implications on greenhouse gas emissions, the impact from removing moisture from the air has escaped in-depth study until now.

How to Stay Informed About Advances in Sustainable Building Materials and Strategies

Green energy proponents need to be aware of their colleagues' work and the state of sustainable developments at large to implement the best of their ideas.

Benchmarking Commercial Building Energy Use Per Square Foot

In this article, we'll discuss the average commercial building energy consumption per square foot, and tell how to measure and compare your own usage with other buildings in your industry. Let's get started.

What Is The Average Utility Cost Per Square Foot Of Commercial Property?

For most commercial buildings, energy is the single largest operating expense, most of which comes in the form of electricity. That being the case, the cost of utility-supplied power is of major concern to property managers searching for ways to lower costs.

Prefab Modular Home Maintained Power When Grid Went Down

Completely off-grid, the triple-insulated, energy efficient home is powered by a PV solar system that charges eight PHI 3.4 kWH batteries -- making available 27.5 kWh of power to both satisfy their home energy needs as well as charge an electric car.

Sonoma Family Replaces Home Lost to Fire with BONE Structure Net Zero Energy Home

They could save you up to 90% on energy costs for heating and cooling. No mold, no moisture and no premature deterioration of materials, the homes are beautiful, solid and contemporary.

Energy-efficient building codes are a cost-effective foundation for rooftop solar

With the US building stock estimated to add a net average of 1.4 million homes each year, states will need to minimize their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on effective building codes and standards.

Urban Innovations That Are Making Cities Better

We should all keep in mind that focusing on saving energy, using renewable energy sources, reducing waste and creating a healthier environment is crucial for a better and healthier future!

Solar powered smart windows break 11% efficiency

John Fitzgerald Weaver for Electrek: The smart window lowers building temperatures by shifting from clear to opaque under strong sunlight. When the shift to opaque occurs, the solar prototype begins electricity production.

Creating Roads from Waste

The roads constructed using this technology are more durable and economical than the conventional bitumen roads.

Tilapia Village: Net Zero Ranch Style Pocket Village Community

A sustainable small pocket neighborhood development alternative to the traditional subdivision housing model and even to the standard condo / townhouse model.

Renewable Packaging

It's important to decrease the environmental impact by reducing the size of the packaging, switching to renewable raw materials, reusing materials, and finally, recycling materials for later use.

How Architects Help the Environment and Save Energy

Green architecture is full of prospects for the future from both a creativity perspective, as well as ecological requirements. Because of modern technology, architects can not only preserve the environment but improve it

Small Companies Can Make a Big Difference in Tomorrow

During the conversation, I kept coming back to ‘Why? What was driving this desirable business behavior?' Larry summed it up. "At the end of the day - we work to do as much right as we can for all concerns. By being long-term, we can look at the long-term win-wins for both conserving our resources and with a competitive long-term cost benefit as well.
