Celcon blocks have been chosen to provide a high level of both thermal and acoustic insulation for a new ‘green’ school, Winston Way Primary School in Ilford, Essex, for Redbridge Council. Celcon Hi Seven and Standard blocks were used for both the internal and external leaves of the building at ground floor level, to infill the Metsec steel frame. With a fully filled cavity the walls achieved a U-value of 0.25W/m²K.
Today the U.S. Air Force celebrates the completion of North America's largest solar photovoltaic system at Nellis Air Force Base. A joint project of the U.S. Air Force, MMA Renewable Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC , SunPower Corporation , and Nevada Power Company, the 14 megawatt Nellis solar energy system will generate more than 30 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually and supply approximately 25 percent of the total power used at the base, where 12,000 people live and work.
Using smoke, laser light, model airplane propellers and a campus wind tunnel, a team led by Johns Hopkins University researchers is trying to solve the airflow mysteries that surround wind turbines, an increasingly popular source of “green” energy. The National Science Foundation recently awarded the team a three-year, $321,000 grant to support the project.
