Some of the new structures in the area have the type of cutting edge technology showcased by celebrities or on a channel like A&E. I visited a high rise that used biometrics to identify key cards for entering the building and using the elevator. I also got a chance to wander inside an Energy Star Certified home during its construction down the street. More than sufficient caulking and insulation, Energy Star buildings incorporate radiant barriers, coated windows, and identify fixtures that follow the same scheme. I worked in an office building last spring that is listed on the website hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. Prior to this, the only time I had recognized the Energy Star seal was during washer/dryer or refrigerator shopping with my parents. Energy Star also regulates appliances like your telephones and your computers. I would tend to think that a Duo Core processor would already do the job, however it appears that energy managment is a becoming a necessary function of the proliferation of mass marketed technology. The leaks and gaps are enough to drain your resources. Hopefully it will be mandatory sometime soon.
