Enertia® Building Systems "Homes" Page On these pages you will see innovative new homes of remarkable strength, economy, and beauty, brought to life by an elegant concept of design and the discovery of a new source of pollution-free energy. We will show you a method of building homes and offices in which natural renewable materials and natural forces are used to create a comfortable environment without the use of fuel or electricity. These are independent, sustainable, environmental homes that are energy producers rather than energy users.
Equipment Information There are many things to consider in planning your renewable energy system. A well laid out plan will help you with safety concerns, ease of installation, ease of maintenance, and a system that produces exceptional results. Listed here is some general information on the different parts of a system. They are general guidelines to help you plan.
Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) FEMP's mission is to reduce the cost of government by advancing energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of solar and other renewable energy. FEMP accomplishes its mission by creating partnerships, leveraging resources, transferring technology, and providing training and support. Collectively, FEMP and Federal agencies will Save Billions from Federal Energy Management.
Harnessing Wind, Solar and Micro Hydro Power ... If you want to know how residential scale alternate energy systems work and how these systems can be used to live "off the grid", or to save on your utility power bills, you came to the right place.
Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) was established in 1974 to seek new and renewable forms of energy that would supplant the nation's enormous dependence on petroleum. HNEI's earliest work focused on the search for alternative resources for the generation of electrical power. As a result of its pioneering research, HNEI has become one of the world's foremost sources of expertise on those electricity-producing technologies powered by renewable resources. With a mandate to undertake and coordinate research and development of Hawaii's renewable energy resources, HNEI is charged to spearhead the development of resource systems technology, including those with oceanic applications.
