Alternative Photovoltaic Systems, Houses of the Future
Renewable energy recently got an unprecedented boost. Effective Jan. 1, 2020, the mandate will necessitate the provision of photovoltaic systems that provide 2 to 3 kilowatts of energy, depending on house size. This requirement’s modest size, about one-third to half that of a typical solar array, is presumably intended to control costs. Considering that roughly 80,000 new houses are built annually in the state, however, the subsequent demand for renewable technologies will increase dramatically. According to The New York Times, approximately 15,000 houses in California typically include solar, thus resulting in a fivefold increase in installations in less than two years…

Green (Building) Is the New Gold. The trending environmentally conscious real estate movement shows the industry values.
The green building movement formally took off in the United States during the early 1990s as the American Institute of Architects’ Committee on the Environment sought to create environmentally responsible homes and promote ecological resolve. In 1996, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed the world’s leading certification program, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), to reduce carbon emissions, generate less water waste, lower energy bills, and build healthier work and living spaces. “More than anything else, green building is about people,”…

Green and healthy buildings are an integral part of green cities.
Cities are at the heart of modern living. It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities, suggesting an unprecedented wave of urban growth… More than 30 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions emitted by cities are generated by buildings alone, according to National Geographic. As a microcosm for modern living, buildings are not only the physical building blocks of a city, but the places where most urbanites spend their time.

Thousands of Sun Devils make up the sustainability network, which is looking to make 2018-19 their biggest year yet.
“Green Devil Network members help to implement sustainability practices into the university’s day-to-day operations,” said Lesley Forst Michalegko, the co-chair of GDN Tempe. “Because we are such a large population, the work of the Green Devils is essential in building and maintaining this culture of sustainability. We hope to continue to expand this reach and impact by adding new members each year.” Organizers say that reach now stands at over 8,000 people, a number that figures to grow as the club does.
