Description
Summary:Sawyer discusses the innovations in glass with the potential to transform the built environment. Residential and commercial buildings account for more than 40 percent of the US' total energy demand and 70 percent of electricity use, resulting in an annual national energy bill totaling more than $380 billion. The rapid development of next-generation building technologies, such as windows, are vital to advancing building systems and components that are cost-competitive in the market, meeting Building Technologies Office's building energy use reduction goals, and leading to the creation of new business and industries.
