Freezing right now? Broiling? Can't see because of glare? Blame your windows. Serious Energy is holding the I Want Better Windows contest. You could be one of the winners of 250 square feet of iWindows. (click here to enter) or vote for one of the entrants.

Today's entry comes from Michael in New Jersey. He's at a hospital:

"We are a non-profit hospital. Our windows are 30 or more years older... It would be great to have warmer patient rooms and offices for the staff. My office is in the basement... No windows for me but it would be realy good for the building."

When they meet at the 6th Annual North American Passive House Conference this week, the masters of super-sealed, ultra-insulated building design will be seeing and hearing about the latest SeriousWindows technology. Serious Energy will be exhibiting and, on the podium, co-presenters John Semmelhack of the Mid-Atlantic and Graham Irwin of Northern California, will be sharing their  repeatable method for getting accurate predictions of actual energy performance using examples comprised of SeriousWindow models within the Passive House Planning Program, PHPP.

Solar Decathlon team from University of Tennessee wins top energy scores for design of a vented double-glass façade system that relied on the super-insulating properties of SeriousGlass.

We recently attended the Clinton Global Initiative 2011, in NYC, and had an amazing time learning about the exciting and important projects that community leaders, around the globe, are currently working on.
