Zero-energy homes rely on chemistry products to maximize efficiency
The thought of handing out complimentary iPads with the purchase of a new home may sound like a ploy to lure waffling prospects, but for a group of four energy efficiency driven duplexes in Frederick, MD, the incentive comes with a very practical purpose. Homebuyers are given iPads to monitor energy efficiency, the USA Today [...]
Why “From Chemistry to Energy” calls for improving residential, commercial and industrial energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to achieve energy and cost savings, and no business, household or industrial facility could become more energy efficient without the innovations and discoveries driven by the chemical industry. That’s why “From Chemistry to Energy” is calling for maximizing energy efficiency’s contribution to the nation’s [...]
