windows

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) havd developed solar windows using an invisible dye on the glass that spreads sunlight to the PV cells contained in the frame.

By fitting energy efficient windows to your home you can cut heat loss by up to 74%, reduce your energy bills by 20% and considerably cut your carboon footprint.

A Denmark company has a new cleaning product called ShineOn that keeps windows free from dirt and grime for up to two years. ShineOn is a thin coating developed using nanotechnology by SCF Technologies. The coating chemically bonds with glass to create a layer that uses the sun’s energy to “burn” loose dirt that gathers on the glass and loosen it from the surface. The dirt is then washed away from the window by rain.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a tool to allow network administrators to remotely change power management settings on Windows XP, and thus save energy and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. The EPA developed the tool because Microsoft did not give system administrators the ability to natively manage power settings on XP systems over a network, and this may be hindering adoption of the power management functions in many companies.

Today I would also like to briefly talk about yet another green design that caught my eye.

Question: switching from a computer running on Windows to one running on Linux could slash computer-generated e-waste levels by 50 per cent. True or false?

And the answer is (cue long drawn-out tension building drumroll): TRUE!

Green building and sustainable products may be more easily attainable, but to what degree?

The more tasks a computer has to do, the busier it is, and the more energy it consumes as the CPU, harddrive, and memory race to keep up with demands. If you, like many, are plagued by adware and spyware, without even knowing it in many cases, your computer is running extra programs needlessly, behind the scenes. Many people's computers run slow and it's because of the adware and spyware, and so extra electricity is wasted. Read more.
