Environmentally Friendly, Sustainable And Intelligent Buildings

correlating statistics is that energy demands throughout the past half century have tripled, the global economy has quintupled and the world population increased twofold (Anonymous, 1997). In the not-too-distant  future - with regard to historys timeline - there will come a point when fossil fuels will be depleted and humans will be forced to find alternative sources with which  to power such equipment as heating/cooling units and myriad others that utilize conventional energy choices in order to create buildings that are highly efficient, comfortable, green, safe and secure environments.  However, waiting until supplies are exhausted before establishing a workable alternative would place a major hardship upon future energy demands and the ability to uphold an environmentally-friendly approach to  the buildings composition. For this reason, various options - not only those that supply a form of fuel but also those that reduce and often eliminate pollution - have  been in the works for several years. It is imperative that these alternatives be implemented long before the current supply is depleted. II. ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES  Solar energy is one of the most promising options of renewable power for building electrification, in that its source comes from the one very constant energy  pool on which this planet can depend: the sun. Myriad people have already switched to this alternative energy source to power their homes, businesses and other buildings; however, there  are a great many costs involved in the initial setup of equipment that have kept most consumers priced out of the solar market. Unlike its traditional counterpart, solar energy  provides a clean, renewable and domestic source. The generating system that provides the power is modular in structure to allow for various size restrictions and is easily adaptable to
