This keeps the interior of structures cooler be a few degrees, saving electricity and thus lowering our carbon footprint. Old windows in homes can be replaced with double-glazed ones that has an air pocket in between the two panes making it a very good insulator, keeping heat/cold in and the external temperature out. New AC technologies that incorporate not only environmental control but active filtering technology that kills and traps pollutants in the air makes (more…)
