This article by MPR News take a look at “the Evergreen House,” a 1,500 square foot home that is built to generate as much energy as it consumes — a so-called “net zero” home. This energy efficient home uses only 30 percent of the energy that a similar sized home would require. Last summer, CEE hosted a tour for legislators through this same house to showcase energy efficiency improvements made thanks to guidance from CEE's New Homes program. This article also discusses codes legislation aimed at strengthening the state’s building energy code, which CEE supports.

Building an all-electric, high-performance home offers significant benefits for the environment and your wallet. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions (when paired with renewable energy sources) and improving indoor air quality, all-electric homes contribute to a healthier planet and living space for your family. Integrating renewable energy sources can lead to energy independence, eliminate gas-related safety risks, and reduce reliance on increasing energy costs. High-performance homes with air source heat pumps already consume less energy than a typical home due to their extreme energy efficiency, resulting in drastically lower energy costs. Many states offer incentives and rebates when building all-electric as well, making it a smart financial choice.

Discover the award-winning Windmill Park project, recognised as the District Heating Project of the Year at H&V News Awards 2023. Learn how our innovative approach, in collaboration with Notting Hill Genesis, transformed a challenging heat network into a model of efficiency. Key achievements of this project include: ⭐ An impressive 95% reduction in pump energy consumption. 💸 Anticipated energy savings of £200 per dwelling annually. 💚 A substantial predicted decrease in carbon emissions, amounting to 85,400 kg CO2/year. Daniel Perager, Head of Heat Energy and Water, Notting Hill Genesis comments: “The Windmill Park project presented a huge challenge to us as a team as there were significant issues that would not be easy to solve. We were confident when partnering with FairHeat that together we would find innovative solutions that would transform the struggling network into a model of efficiency. We were able to do this through strategic investment – replacing equipment, updating the heat interface units and introducing controls and measures to boost water quality. Most notably the system is future proofed to allow for further improvements to carbon efficiency. It’s great to see the benefit of this project on the everyday lives of residents.” ➡ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eEgENU2h Gareth Jones Peter Horne Francesca James #HVNAwards2023 #districtheating #awards #collaboration #projectoftheyear #optimisation #performanceoptimization #qualityassurance #heatnetworks #retrofit #futureproof

Our Contribution to the Environment and a Secure Power Supply: Clean Electricity from Our Own Roofs! Grunwald has been manufacturing automated filling and sealing machines using sustainable and clean energy since 2010! ✔️ 2010: Installation of a 1,200 square metre tube photovoltaic system ✔️ 2023: Expansion with a state-of-the-art PV system with 1,152 modules, an area of 2,239 square metres, and 600 kWp output to accommodate new factory expansions. Today, we produce up to 3.5 MWh of energy on a sunny day across a total of 3,439 square metres! The result? A secure, sustainable, and independent power supply: ▪️ 100% CO2-free electricity for all our buildings ▪️ Own transformer station for feeding into the grid ▪️ Virtually self-sufficient and trouble-free production ▪️ 575 MWh annual energy production ▪️ 94,797.61 kg of CO2 emissions saved ▪️ Equivalent to the effect of 2,829.42 trees planted! With our modern and powerful photovoltaic system, we are actively contributing to the energy transition while increasing our production reliability. #Dosing #Filling #Packing #RenewableEnergy #SustainableBusiness #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GreenTechnology

What to consider when installing solar panels on flat roofs 💭 Are flat roofs suited for solar energy installations? Using the roof for renewable energy generation is a great way to make efficient and practical use of the space. Do solar panels increase the fire risk on the roof? It is the responsibility of all building stakeholders (designers, specifiers, owners, contractors and insurers) to take this into account. Are there risks for the rest of the building? An important consideration is how the rooftop installation is integrated with the internal building infrastructure. Where can you find more information about fire safety in flat roofs?

Exploring the Potential of O-Wind Turbine in Urban and Maritime Settings 🌍 Urban Innovation: The O-Wind Turbine, developed by Lancaster University's Nicolas Orellana and Yaseen Noorani, is revolutionizing the way we harness wind energy in urban areas. This compact, spherical turbine captures wind from any direction, making it perfect for city apartments and crowded spaces where traditional turbines can't operate. 🌊 Maritime Applications: Looking beyond cities, the O-Wind Turbine's adaptable design shows promise for maritime use. By leveraging constant sea winds, it could help reduce fuel consumption on ships and contribute to the maritime industry's sustainability goals. 🌀 Design and Efficiency: Utilizing Bernoulli’s principle, the turbine operates efficiently under variable wind conditions and is less intrusive due to its noise-free and visually unobtrusive design. Its potential to feed electricity back into the grid could even turn urban buildings into green power stations. 🌱 Sustainable Future: With ongoing research and development, the applications of the O-Wind Turbine could expand to new areas, including wave energy conversion. This innovation not only represents a step forward in renewable energy technology but also aligns with global sustainability efforts. 🔗 For more details, check out the original concept on the James Dyson Award website (https://lnkd.in/ga3iqwds) and the YouTube video showcasing its development.
