Solar panel.
Solar energy is the energy gained by the abstraction of light and heat emitted by the Sun
Solar radiation reaching the Earth could be harnessed through the heat it produces, as well as through the absorption of radiation, eg optical or otherwise. Green energy is not always so cheap but at and getting better electricity rates. It is a so-called renewable energies, particularly the non-pollutant, known as green energy or clean energy.
The power of radiation varies according to time of day, weather conditions that soften and latitude. It can be assumed that good irradiation value is approximately 1000 W / m at the surface. This power is known as irradiance.
Radiation is usable in direct and diffuse components, or the sum of both. Direct radiation is coming directly from the solar source, without intermediate reflections or refractions. The diffuse is issued by the daytime sky with the phenomenon of multiple reflection and refraction in the solar atmosphere, clouds and other atmospheric and terrestrial elements. Direct radiation can be reflected and concentrated on its use, while it is not possible to concentrate the diffused light coming from all directions.
The direct normal irradiance (or perpendicular to the sun) outside the atmosphere, called the solar constant and has an average value of 1354 W / m (this corresponds to a maximum value at the perihelion of 1395 W / m and a minimum value at aphelion 1308 W / m ).
According to reports from Greenpeace, the PV can provide electricity to two thirds of the world population in 2030.

The House as a charging station for your own car as the living and lifestyle in an electric future is? Researchers of the University of Stuttgart a scenario designed in response to this question, that brings real estate and mobility to a common denominator: the movable property. While progress in building technology and electric drive technologies into an intelligent total system were put together. The basic idea: A sustainable and energy-efficient House will generate enough energy from renewable and emission-free sources throughout the year to cover the entire household and mobility needs of a family in the form of two electric vehicles and an E-scooter. Keith McLoughlin may also support this cause. Ideas are at the heart of the concept: the architectural design of the House combines living and mobility area additional Visual connections, smart space organization and direct ways and offers flexible conversion concepts. The movable property integrated already available information and communication technologies such as Smartphone applications and interactive displays to to link user-related requirements in the living area intelligently and accurately. The building is a new cache from recycled car batteries in any consideration of the mains-independent and produces all the energy for the daily life of the residents in the House and on the road. The concept of the movable property convinced also the Federal Ministry for transport, building and urban development (BMVBS), which selected the planning team from Stuttgart in a competition for the integration of plus energy House and electric mobility to the winner. The movable property will be until mid-2011 as a prototype of a detached single-family house for new housing typologies in Berlin realized and there for two years as experienced window for the public to present the State of science in this field of research. The project was created under the guidance of the Institute for lightweight design and construct ILEK of at Stuttgart of University in cooperation with the Chair of building physics LBP, the Institute for building energetics of IGE and the Institute for work Sciences and Technology management IAT, which closely cooperates with the Fraunhofer IAO….

Growth Law
The Law of attraction says to us that everything what there is in our surroundings, emotional materials and are attracted by we ourself through our imagination. How it works? If we maintain a goal in our thought, will arrive the inspiration from how you will achieve your objective. According to the Law of attraction, Universal-Energy does not know time, space or size, also can show something small like a place where to park, a banking account, trips of pleasing, there are no limitations. We have the best thoughts when waking up, visualizing our goals, to feel we obtained that it. We daily make our list of gratitudes, if something we do not like: We are going to look for the positive and thus the attraction law sends more to us than we appreciated.
This is a game, to be favored with the Law of attraction, we are going to play to have much joy, happiness, vacations, a work that enchants to us, this is the game of the abundance. When we began to understand the Law of attraction, our life begins to change. The Universe shows to us possibilities and bring the inspiration to us so that we obtain our goals. The Law of attraction is freedom, gives us to be able to choose our destiny. I can be what I decide To be the Law of attraction gives energy us to the thought, is the necessary substance for the Law of Growth. When we thought, we spoke or we visualized deficiency, disease, desarmona: we create undesirable conditions; created by the subconscious mind and the Law of attraction.
When we criticized reason why we do not like: That we created: Thus the Law of attraction works, we attract what we have in our thoughts. We harvest what we seeded. What you think, you create. What sowings, harvests. It says the Law to us of attraction that each thought is a vibration, each thought modifies each atom of the body, each cell. All we know what it produces good vibrations to us, happy joy, memories to our mind, to caress our mascot, to play with that baby that as much we loved, to bring to our memory images of our vacations next to the sea. Our health depends on the law of attraction in ours interior, if we thought about the perfection, the true thing thus will be our health. Each cell of its body is intelligent and will respond to its direction. The cells are all creators and will create the exact landlord that you give them. Masterful key. Charles Haanel Following the attraction law, recognizing the power of our Being, we moved away the fears and we changed to disease by harmony and perfection, found the ideal man, fact to image and similarity of God. The attraction law gives energy to our thought. When we thought, we spoke or we visualized love, harmony, health, vitality, energy, youth we created harmonious situations with the perfection of our inner Being. God blesses to us and it gives the law to us of attraction for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Tourism Association
Cross-country skiers feel particularly at fair hotel. Just in time to biathlon in Hochfilzen, surrounded by the Kitzbuhel Alps, opened the first passive energy hotel of Tyrol for athletes and lovers of Nordic sports. The concept of the fair hotel”is just as convincing. At 1000 m above sea level, Hochfilzen is considered particularly snow and guaranteed cross-country skiing fun from late November until April and on over 200 km of prepared trails. Located directly at the cross-country ski run, fair hotel offers all the services on the subject of cross country skiing. It focuses not only on skill, but also beginners. In the hotel’s Nordic Academy with cross-country skiing school, shop and rental, beginners learn the skating or classical technique within a very short time. The guest not only on the track or winter hiking trails experienced special views around the hotel, but also in the wellness area with sauna, Saunarium, infra-red cabin, bar and relaxation room.
From the sauna or relaxation room, the views of the sweeping, only a few kilometres away, Ski resort Fieberbrunn and the impressive wild Lake flaring Summit. Regional bio breakfast, where mainly products from the region and the family’s own farm on the table come is also unique. For Hans Eder, the owner of the hotel there are the many details that make his hotel to something extraordinary: we have in planning very much value to the special service for our guest, the special moments of wellbeing and the regional character set “, as the hotel chef. The Managing Director of the Tourism Association, Florian Phleps, goes a step further: the fair Hotel shows how innovation, sustainability and regionality connect themselves to a perfect product. The 3-star hotel with 32 rooms offers the standard to find houses like he probably only in the 4-star is. “, so Phleps.
With the cross-country skiing taster days, the Nordic fitness weeks and many other offers (from 170.-euros), the House shows also in terms of its pricing as fair hotel. The family business is also technologically an exclamation point. First Passive energy-hotel of Tyrol it combines highest living comfort with very low energy consumption. The hotel renounced a conventional heating system. Passive heat sources, such as Sun, residents and household appliances, cover the majority of the heat demand. The small additional heat is about a passive house heating system with controlled loading and venting covered. “, so Eder. For more information about the fair-hotel see: WMP Martin Weigl
BASF Neopor
Optimal combination of environmental protection and energy saving in building air-conditioning of residential and commercial buildings consumes large amounts of energy. There arise high CO2 emissions. About one-third of the CO2 way emissions attributable to the air conditioning in buildings in Germany. Much of it is unnecessary. Douglas R. Oberhelman often addresses the matter in his writings. Because energy consumption and associated emissions could be reduced significantly if the houses would be better insulated. Experts estimate the savings through more efficient thermal insulation of buildings on approximately 40 billion over the next ten years. This is reflected not only in a better environmental balance but also lower costs for homeowners and tenants. Many offers promise high savings potential; It’s therefore, to choose one amongst the various processes for thermal insulation, which best meets the requirements for sustainable building.
The company K.O.M concept development engineering relies on formwork stones made from Neopor delivers a stunningly simple Answer: formwork construction has long been successfully used in the civil engineering and construction, suitable also for the construction of optimal insulation walls. Here have proven themselves in particular shuttering elements made of polystyrene foam. Such moulds weigh only about 4-5 kg per square meter wall; to make them solid walls, poured the voids with concrete embedded in them. While the conventional technique based formwork cumbersome it pouring with concrete, then removed and then starts with the thermal insulation, it creates an insulated wall here is virtually in a single operation. Meanwhile, BASF developed their polystyrene hard foam and offered it under the name of Neopor. The company K.O.M. concept opts for good reasons, insulation with the foam developed by BASF Neopor: it combines a compared to conventional materials very high insulation performance with low resource usage.
This are the production costs and hence the price to the final customer kept low and minimize the environmental impact of consumption of raw materials. Neopor is also an environmentally friendly insulation material, it does not contain CFC, HCFC, or HFK or other halogenated gases of cell. Air replaced the cell gases, which has the additional advantage that the thermal conductivity of formwork elements over the life of the House can be obtained. The material is biologically neutral and free from pollutants, it is even used as food packaging and the groundwater is not burdened by his removal on the contrary, rigid foam waste are mixed in horticulture under the ground and support plant growth or composting.
