Sustainable Energy Systems

• 80% of America’s electricity will come from clean energy sources by 2035.  Some folks want wind and solar. Others want nuclear, clean coal, and natural gas. To meet this goal, we will need them all – and I urge Democrats and Republicans to work together to make it happen. – Obama

• A Passivhaus is deceptively simple: You pack in a sh#*!load of insulation and use high performance windows, seal it tight as a drum so that no energy leaks out, site it carefully to maximize passive solar but shade it properly so that it doesn’t overheat, and put in proper ventilation so that you don’t suffocate for lack of fresh air.  Serious Materials is revolutionizing the window industry at all parts of the marketplace: At the high end, they make fiberglass framed windows that achieve an R value of up to 11, probably the first American made windows suitable forPassivhaus design.
