We’re constantly scanning the web for new and evolving developments in sustainable materials, products and technologies, filtering out those that are more green-washed, than truly green.Matt Ackermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07248336850128645372noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204763857764956504.post-63785320111209832672012-05-28T09:56:00.001-07:002012-06-11T13:24:59.760-07:00Natural Daylight with Solar Tracking Skylights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cost is nominal compared to non-solar tracking skylights, with an estimated payback period of between 3- 36 months. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The concept is called EGS, which stands for engineered geothermal systems, or, according to preference, enhanced geothermal systems. Some people refer to it as “hot dry rocks,” others as “deep geothermal.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps an even better name for it would be geothermal power for the rest of us, because it allows you to build utility-scale geothermal electricity and heat stations almost anywhere.</div>
