On August 28, 2015, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the New York Power Authority has finished $2.1 million in energy efficiency upgrades at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro-North Railroad North White Plains Train Yard. This energy saving project, completed under the Governor's BuildSmart NY program, will save New York State more than $328,000 in energy costs and remove approximately 1,280 tons of greenhouse gases annually.

One million BTU propane fueled boilers at Good Harvest Farm on April 19, 2011 in Strasburg, PA, completed Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant supported renovation six months ago that replaced an 80-year old structure with a new 4,000 sq. ft. facility that features energy efficient glass roof with curtains that block or trap heat, radiant heaters in or above the floor, and the replacement of an oil-fired hot-air furnaces with propane fueled boilers that supply fin-tube and cement embedded tube elements with hot water. With current fuel prices, there is a projected 2011 energy cost savings of more than $20,000; a 40% reduction in energy costs – exceeding projected savings. Plant health and quality has improved and been more consistent because the temperature and humidity is computer controlled and distributed evenly throughout the facility. Utilizing sensors and a roof mounted weather station the system can maintain four different climate zones 24-hours a day. Two 1,000,000 BTU propane fueled boilers heat the water to 190 degrees for the 8,000 feet of fin-tube heating elements were used where the original foundation, and the 8,000 feet of tubing that was embedded in a new cement foundation. After traveling through the energy efficient system, water only looses 20 degrees. When temperatures become to hot, motorized roof vents open to allow rising heat to escape; a 98% energy savings from massive fans that previously forced air out. Both systems create a microclimate in and round the plant trays in the growing and sales room. Representing Good Harvest Farm Chris Powell says, “You don’t need to have a lot of land to have a lot of green houses. There are places in cities where vegetables are grow on store roof tops and selling them below in the same structure.” USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

I bought this washer in Albuquerque, NM and all the washers they sold there were "water efficient." My washer senses how much water is needed depending on the size of the load. I've had this one for many years and it still works great.

WatAir is well placed to serve the needs of a number of different users. It has been designed with international development and disaster relief in mind, with aid agencies purchasing and distributing the product. It can deliver safe drinking water where there are no obvious sources though dew harvesting/rainwater collection, it can provide shelter where there is none and can offer basic filtration to clean, for example, river. Connecting a number of WatAir devices together they can be used for drip irrigation within agriculture where water is scare or can provide a communal water supply by way of a “water farm”.

The Geyser building, in Parnell, Auckland, is meant to be the future of energy efficient office space in New Zealand. This building is just around the corner from my place and I've been aware of it but only walked in to it the other day. It's a stand out in terms of architecture in Auckland, and one of the few interesting, modern and engaging buildings in the city. Hopefully it will inspire other developers.

Shafraaz and Serena Kaba’s near net-zero home was inspired by the German concept of the Passivhaus, a super energy efficient home that requires very little energy for heating or cooling. The home is air tight, very well insulated and it gets half its heating from passive solar energy streaming through the windows.

Upon arrival in our final port of call, we took a bus ride into the city, ranked as the "Greenest City in the World" for its extraordinary energy efficiency. I've never seen so many people on foot or bicycle, nor so many using public transport. There are five lovely ladies riding or walking in front of our double-decker bus. Beauty and brains. I like it already!
