Jim Benney, the executive director of the National Fenestration Rating Council in Silver Spring, Md., a group that rates windows, doors and skylights for efficiency, said one exciting development in window technology is called dynamic glazing.
And while many people are interested in passive homes for their cold-weather benefits, researchers in both Europe and the United States are looking into more applications for warmer climates, using a different balance of insulation, window technology and air control to achieve similar efficiencies.
This paper analyzes the 1992 and 2003 US Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey microdata files to show the extent to which certain heating, cooling, lighting, and window technologies are entering use, and the resulting impacts on the intensity of energy use.
As long as that step was not taken, he said, the industry would not be threatened by what he called a destructive fracturing of the Windows technology standard.
Microsoft will attempt to catch up with Apple by deploying its new Windows technology, called Windows Media Digital Rights Management, that will let users more easily transfer song collections from their personal computers to their portable MP3 players.
The proposed split-up would address one matter that has been the source of frequent complaints from other software companies -- that Microsoft gives its own applications programmers preferred access to the inner workings of Windows technology.
The arrival of new Windows technology, also known under its code-name of Janus, could have a huge impact on iTunes, because it will make subscription services more attractive, said Richard Wolpert, chief strategy officer at RealNetworks.
