Your company will thrive in this fast-changing world as we make this transition into a new green economy.
Through job functions such as human resources, marketing, governmental affairs and more, the guide helps companies focus on social, political, and financial capital that draws down emissions. You can #BeTheChange and use… Continue reading
Green Roof Meets
Solar Array
Did you know, when you combine a green roof and solar panels, your energy efficiency can increase almost 4%? This is like winning the lottery! While large research companies are investing time and money to achieve a 1% increase in energy efficiency, combining two existing sustainable solutions is a no brainer!
Some benefits green roofs provide include reduction of storm water runoff, reduction of heat island effect, increased biodiversity, while sequestering CO2 and creating fresh oxygen! Not to mention, they look beautiful and are a form of biophilia!
Now, when you bring the two together, a solar panel efficiency will increase due to the green roof lowering the surrounding air temperature through moisture evaporation. Solar panels do not work well… Continue reading
New Sustainable Solutions on the Horizon!
Recently, I have been spotlighting new solutions for concreate and today’s spotlight may top them all!
Scientist at MIT are working on electrifying cement with nanocarbon technology. Wow! Yes, you heard that right! Researchers are helping to make concreate more sustainable by adding novel functions like electron conductivity, self-heating, and energy storage.
Concrete is already a good insulator and when nanocarbon black particles are added to the mixture, it transforms to a conductive material. In their experiments, scientists have found that a very small amount of electricity, such as 5 volts, could increase the concrete’s surface temperature around 100 degrees Fahrenheit!
This state-of-the-art nanocarbon cement technology can be used to de-ice roadways and surface areas, provide heating in the… Continue reading
