Demand for ‘Skinny Triple’ Lags as Builders Procrastinate in California
A new breed of highly efficient triple-pane windows is drawing the attention of residential builders, who are interested in installing the products in the homes they construct as they pursue means for reducing energy consumption. According to industry representatives who … Continue reading
GPAD Keynote: Glazing’s Role in Energy Consumption and What Can Be Done
Buildings account for most of the energy consumption in the United States, and innovations in glass can help curb that trend. Stephen Selkowitz, senior advisor of building technology and urban systems at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, discussed the topic Tuesday … Continue reading
DOE Develops Paint-On Coating to Tackle Energy Leakage
In an effort to curb the estimated $50 billion annually that energy leakage through windows costs building owners, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has synthesized a potential solution. Researchers have developed a polymer … Continue reading
