2008 Electronic House is a Green Home! | Got2BeGreen
2008-06-03 17:01:00 2008 Electronic House is a Green Home ! Got2BeGreen: "The contemporary 4,200 square foot home called the ?Casa Futura?, is powered by 26 solar panels, two of which provide heat for the home?s hot water needs. Its water saving features include low-flow, dual-flush toilets and a smart irrigation system that water plants only when they need it. The home is largely constructed of recycled materials, with concrete radiant-heated floors and an ?efficient? metal roof. The walls contain extra blown-in insulation, the windows reflect heat and harmful ultraviolet light, motorized blinds automatically shade the large windows to effectively control room temperatures and natural ventilation reduces the need for a/c. Of course, all the appliances are Energy-Star rated and highly efficient LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used in several rooms with complimentary CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) and traditional incandescents bulbs on dimmers for added energy savings."Link More About: 2008

Cutting out the mercury in compact fluorescents | Green Tech blog - CNET Ne
2008-04-14 03:16:00 Cutting out the mercury in compact fluorescents Green Tech blog - CNET News.com: "Sylvania's micro-mini-energy saver compact fluorescent bulbs have a few novel things going for them, but one of the more interesting is that they hold far less mercury than most CFLs.The bulbs contain only 1.5 milligrams of mercury. Most CFLs have about five, according to Stephanie Anderson, the company's chief corporate spokesperson. That comes because the mercury is encased in a metal sphere. Conventional CFLs deploy mercury in its natural liquid state. Granted, it's still a pain to get rid of a CFL, but less mercury means less toxins."Link More About: Blog , Compact , Mercury

However, a closer look reveals a perplexing set of factors that together make the prospect of residential CFL recycling a veritable quandary.Cost-benefit analysis"Link
