Combing an IQ Radiant Glass Window System with on or off-site solar or
wind power can help achieve a “NET ZERO BUILDING”
In this example the savings is 32,596,368 lbs. CO2
According to a new report, Q4, 2014 from Navigant Research, worldwide revenue
from energy efficient buildings is expected to grow from $307 billion in 2014 to nearly
$623 billion in 2023.
“Services that would have seemed costly or unnecessary to building owners 5 to 10
years ago – such as corporate sustainability initiatives focused on energy efficiency –
are becoming increasingly mainstream,” says Noah Goldstein, research director with
Navigant Research. “Energy efficiency can help governments to reduce the carbon
intensity of local and national economies and corporations reduce costs as well as their
carbon footprints.”
This elegant chart demonstrates that a Net Zero Building must use products that
reduce energy consumption, increase efficiency, reduce wasteful energy practices and
replace fossil based fuels with either onsite or offsite renewable sources.
