The prototype design has also taken into account the appropriate use of resources through sustainable design features: efficient use of energy, water and materials.
The program uses a point system based on a broad checklist of features and buildings can be certified by accumulating points on not just efficient energy use but also water conservation, proximity to public transportation, indoor air quality and use of environment-friendly materials.
To meet the global need for efficient energy recovery, a new water-alternate-emulsion (WAE) technique for enhanced oil recovery is presented here.
Cytochrome c oxidase is an efficient energy transducer that reduces oxygen to water and converts the released chemical energy into an electrochemical membrane potential.
How can we make more efficient use of limited public goods -- energy, water, land and tax dollars -- while producing pleasing homes in proximity to jobs, shops and recreation?
For example, using low-flow fixtures (like shower heads) can "piggyback" on the use of a new, energy-efficient water heater and help to further decrease the energy usage in your home.
Paseo Verde's green features include an extremely energy efficient and water saving design, efficient mechanical systems, high-performing appliances and fixtures, low or no-volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and primers, and formaldehyde-free materials to enhance indoor air quality.
Then you can climb the ladder higher with things like an energy efficient water heater or solar hot water.
