The QA Graphics energy dashboard provides information to educate occupants about real-time energy efficiencies, carbon footprint and green initiatives within a building. The information is presented on an interactive touch screen with a format similar to many Web sites. The product was recently installed at the Carroll County Public Library in Maryland.
DuHybrid air-conditioning system from DuCool is powered by solar thermal energy or electricity to reduce the energy required for cooling by up to 60 percent, compared to standard air conditioning, according to the company. The system combines desiccant dehumidification with evaporative or geothermal cooling to eliminate the need for conventional mechanical cooling. It utilizes solar thermal energy when available and automatically switches to electric power when needed.
Greenscreen offers three-dimensional welded wire trellising systems that provide a captive growing space for plants. Screens are made from recycled steel and feature an adaptable attachment clip system that allows screen panels to attach to a building façade. The wire-frame configuration can also span between structures to create a fence, free-standing screen or gazebo. The trellis system can help increase energy efficiency by adding a natural shading system to the building envelope, according to the company.
