Energy efficient

HVAC can account for half the energy used in your home, according to ENERGY STAR. See why it's it’s important to invest in an energy efficient system.

Because geothermal heat pumps use the earth’s natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies available today.

Today there are all sorts of different systems you can have installed in order to green your home and make it more energy and water efficient, but which ones give you the best bang for your buck? A…

A number of well-known energy hacks can save people money, yet most of us are not using them, according to a survey from SaveOnEnergy.

An energy-efficient home combines state-of-the-art energy-saving construction and appliances with systems that rely on renewable resources.

Physicists at RIKEN, a Japanese scientific research institute, recently found a way to show how extremely small amounts of heat can be manipulated to control magnetic whirlpools, otherwise known as skyrmions. This could be a stepping stone to creating more energy-efficient forms of computing. Skyrmions, which are information-carriers, develop when the magnetic flux of atoms move into specific patterns inside a material. Under some conditions, they organize into what’s called a skyrmion…
