Energy Efficient Windows: Where It All Began
The document discusses the evolution of energy-efficient windows over the past 30 years. It began in the 1970s during the energy crisis when windows were identified as a major source of heat loss from homes. This led to the development of multi-pane windows with an insulating space between the glass to reduce heat transfer. Researchers later found that frame materials also impacted heat loss, leading to the introduction of vinyl and wood-vinyl frames to replace aluminum. Spacers between window panes were also changed from metal to plastic for further energy savings.

English essay 1 ( green house )
Over the century, humans have tried to reduce energy usage and conserve resources. One efficient way is to build green homes. Many modern cities have started using this method in recent years to help the environment, including countries like Malaysia. There are a few key ways to build green homes, such as using recycled materials like steel, glass, and aluminum to reduce waste. Another method is installing energy-efficient products in the home, like LED lights and eco-friendly air conditioners, to decrease energy usage and help address climate change caused by fossil fuel consumption. Building green homes can conserve the environment through recycling materials and saving energy.
Resource Positive Architecture
Buildings account for nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions through their construction, heating, cooling and materials. Adopting green building practices can significantly reduce these emissions and other environmental impacts while improving occupant health and productivity. Resource positive architecture aims to go beyond sustainability to generate more energy and purify more water than buildings consume through the use of passive solar design, energy efficient systems and occupant behaviors. Widespread adoption of existing cost-effective green building technologies and practices could dramatically reduce the climate change impact of the built environment.
Jim Devine: From Frigid to Friskey: Window Efficiency
Window insulation is important to reduce energy costs. Traditional window replacement and insulation methods have drawbacks. Advanced Energy Panels provide stronger, lighter window insulation with no loss of light and require no permits. Tests show the panels can reduce heating costs by 55% and provide paybacks of under 5 years through energy savings. Many satisfied customers including historic buildings have seen success with the panels.

Information about zero energy building and green buiding
A zero energy building (ZEB) aims to consume equal or less energy annually than the amount produced from on-site renewable sources. ZEBs reduce environmental impact through high efficiency windows, insulation, solar panels and heat pumps. They initially cost more but save on energy bills and qualify for tax breaks. Nearly zero energy buildings aim to meet the same standard across Europe by 2020. Green buildings also minimize impact through efficient resource use, renewable energy, waste reduction, indoor air quality and sustainable materials. While ZEBs improve efficiency, embodied carbon from materials contributes significantly to emissions, so optimizing for both is important to achieve true zero carbon.

Green Technologies for Buildings
This document discusses green technologies for buildings and environmentally friendly construction. It outlines several problems with traditional construction such as overdesigning structures and prioritizing non-essential features over essentials like water and power. It then discusses solutions like reducing, reusing, and recycling construction materials and components. Specific examples provided include using bamboo sheets instead of concrete roofs, reused wood, glass, fixtures and other materials from demolished buildings, and harvesting rain and grey water. The results were a construction cost and time that were 40% and 50% less than normal, while still achieving good aesthetics.

Passive House: A Primer on High Performance Buildings
The document discusses building energy use and efficiency opportunities in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It shows that 58% of the city's carbon emissions come from buildings, with most from space heating. A Passivhaus building can reduce annual space heating costs by over 75% compared to average homes through superior insulation (R60 walls) and an ultra-tight building envelope. While Passivhaus construction costs about 8% more up front, the long-term energy savings outweigh the additional costs through lower utility bills. The document advocates for policies to support green building practices like Passivhaus in Saskatchewan.

Green building
Green building involves constructing and renovating buildings using processes and materials that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle. Typical construction waste from a home amounts to 8000 pounds, while buildings consume over half of total U.S. electricity. Green building aims to reduce waste, energy and water usage during construction, design efficient buildings, and select sustainable materials. However, higher costs and concerns over comfort present obstacles, though programs like LEED and government incentives increasingly support green building.

Energy Savings with Window Retrofits
The document summarizes a presentation on energy savings from window retrofits in residential and commercial buildings in Minnesota. It discusses how window panels and films were modeled using energy modeling software to determine potential savings. For residential buildings, clear window panels can create 'triple pane' windows and save a similar amount of energy as window replacement, while being lower cost. Low-e window panels typically provide the most savings. Savings depend on building type, location, orientation and design for commercial buildings. Window retrofits represent significant potential for energy savings across the residential and commercial sectors in Minnesota.
