Home Energy Ideas

Looking to do some remodeling this spring and summer? The Building Energy 07 Conference just wrapped up this week and there were some pretty cool home alternative energy products on display.

Wind energy is one option that many homeowners and small business might not consider. When most people think of wind energy they probably think of large wind farms. But, several start-ups are taking advantage of the potential of distributed consumer-based energy and developing small-scall wind turbines that fit on the top of buildings.

Check out some of these cool home energy products displayed at the conference:

Wind turbine from Pfister Energy


Hot-air solar panel

Evacuated-tube solar collectors, which are used to heat water
