Indoor temperatures below certain thresholds can negatively impact human health. Specifically, temperatures below 18°C pose no risk to healthy sedentary people, below 16°C can diminish resistance to respiratory infections, and below 12°C can increase blood pressure and viscosity. Below 9°C, deep body temperature starts to fall after 2 or more hours of exposure. Most people spend over 90% of their time indoors, so indoor environments are an important source of potential health risks from temperature. The document also discusses energy use in homes, insulation, and various heating technologies.
If we reduce energy losses from homes, less fuel will be needed to keep homes at a constant temperature, resulting in smaller bills, conservation of energy sources, and less pollution. Installing double glazing, which has two panes of glass with an air gap between them, can reduce energy loss through windows by about 50%. Filling the gap in cavity walls with mineral fiber insulation stops warm air from rising into the loft. Loft insulation placed above the ceiling helps reduce heat transfer through the ceiling by conduction and is a cheap form of insulation.
Installing a cool roof can reduce energy costs and help the environment. Traditional dark roofs absorb heat from the sun, contributing to urban areas being hotter than rural areas. A cool roof is lighter in color and reflects more sunlight, keeping the roof up to 100 degrees cooler. This cools homes and reduces air conditioning costs by up to 70%. Cool roofs also lessen pollution by reducing the need for fossil fuels to power air conditioning. Both flat and pitched roofs can be made into cool roofs using white coatings or light-colored shingles and tiles respectively.

How Would Double Glazed Windows Minimize Your Energy Consumptionrustye3
Double glazed windows can significantly reduce energy consumption for heating homes. They do this by having two panes of glass with a space of dry air between them, which acts as an insulator. This prevents much of the heat loss through single-pane windows that can account for over half of heat loss from a home. Different types of double glazed windows use varying materials and gases between the panes but all work on the same insulating principle. While installation costs may be high initially, the savings on energy bills over time make it worthwhile.
Central heating systems provide more efficient and cost-effective home heating than individual space heaters. They work by producing heat in one central location and distributing it throughout the home. Common fuel sources include gas, oil, coal, electricity, and renewable sources like solar and wind. While initially an expensive luxury, central heating is now considered necessary in many climates due to extreme temperatures and environmental concerns. Proper humidity levels should also be maintained to prevent health issues, using humidifiers if needed. An expert recommends central heating as the best option for most homes.
The Lenawee County Human Services Building underwent an energy efficiency retrofitting project in 2010 to reduce operation costs. Honeywell International was the contractor. The $3.7 million project involved replacing lighting and HVAC systems, installing an energy management system, and improving the building envelope. It is expected to save over 35% in energy consumption and over 30% in costs annually.
Energy efficient windows will make your home more comfortable, dramatically reduce your energy costs and help to create a brighter, cleaner and healthier environment.In addition to this they lower HVAC costs and helps in increasing light inside your home.Also these windows prevent furniture and carpet colour fading.
Solar energy is the most untapped energy source and maybe harnessed for electricity generation using photovoltaic cells.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
