GREEN Topic: Water Heating – Instantaneous Water Heaters

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Easy economic savings can accrue from instantaneous or the “on-demand” type of water heaters. In contrast to the traditional method of keeping 40 to 80 gallons of hot water at-the-ready in an insulated tank, “on-demand” heaters produce hot water only when it is needed. Since hot water is generally required for less than […]

GREEN Topic: Sealing the Existing Home

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Most people aren’t aware that air leakage amounts to 30-40% of a home’s heating and cooling bills. Stopping air leakage is important not only for energy savings, but also for protecting your home from the damaging effects of moisture. Air, leaking into walls from the interior of the home, carries humidity […]

GREEN Topic: Radiant Floor Heat

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Radiant floor heating can be extremely cost-effective and comfortable. There are three types of radiant floor heat: radiant air floors, electric radiant floors, and hot water radiant floors. Hot water radiant floors, or hydronic systems, are the most cost-effective systems for homes or buildings in heating-dominated climates. Hydronic systems heat water […]

GREEN Topic: Passive Solar Heating

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Easy economic savings accrue from designing and building features that effectively trap heat from the sun during the day and release that heat slowly throughout the nighttime. The effect is similar to living near a large body of water where the thermal mass of the water lessens temperature extremes. That means reduced […]

GREEN Topic: Moisture Management for Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: You can increase comfort and save money by mindfully managing the moisture content of the air in your home. Humans are most comfortable at a relative humidity of 50%, plus or minus 10%. Relative humidity is the amount of moisture that air contains relative to the maximum amount that it could contain (at […]

GREEN Topic: Natural Daylighting

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Both obvious and hidden economic savings come from building designs that rely on natural lighting. Throughout much of the day, owners and occupants can easily benefit from natural lighting and avoid electrical consumption otherwise required by artificial indoor lamps. Not so obviously, considerable economic gain may be achieved through increased productivity of […]

GREEN Topic: Landscaping – Shade Trees and Windbreaks

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: Perhaps the most pleasant economic savings can be derived from judicious and mindful planting of trees and shrubs. The value of traditional plantings serving as windbreaks is well known. Additionally, well-placed deciduous trees can shade a building during hot summer months yet allow warming sunshine to enter a building when warmth is […]

GREEN Topic: House as a System

Technology Snapshot & Benefits: When building new energy-efficient houses or making existing houses more efficient significant energy gains can be realized, just by treating the “House as a System”. You cannot make changes to one part of a house without affecting the many other parts that make up the house system. The house system is […]
