Superinsulation

An approach to building design and construction that greatly increases thermal resistance, significantly reducing heating and cooling demands.

Active Solar Heating

A system that uses solar energy to heat a fluid (either liquid or air), transferring this heat to the interior of a building or to a storage tank for later use.

Electric Resistance Heating

A method of heating using electricity where electric current flows through a resistor, converting electrical energy into heat energy.

Fuel Efficiency Standards
