1. Steigender Energiebedarf und ein Recht auf Kühlung? Darf es ihn geben, den Anspruch auf eine Klimaanlage und einen Kühlschrank – ähnlich wie das Recht auf eine Heizung? 2. Kühle Kette für eine gesunde Versorgung Nach Schätzungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) verderben durchschnittlich 30 Prozent, in tropischen Ländern sogar 50 Prozent der Lebensmittel mangels angemessener Lagerung. 3. Grüne Technik und Wertschöpfung Das Zauberwort heißt Ressourceneffizienz. Der Schlüssel in der Kältetechnik dafür sind natürliche Gase. 4.

Objective
Fibre reinforced composites are increasingly important in the manufacture of innovative engineering products. However manufacturing techniques for filament wound components has moved on little in the last 40 years. Resin is mixed in a open “pot” and fibres are immersed and wound around a mandrel. Waste rates can be high clean down is expensive it may be difficult to conform to environmental regulations

Objective
Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed a robust easy-to-implement and cost effective method to quantify real-time energy efficiencies of building facilities based on carbon offsets. This carbon meter can be used to forecast energy demand and to predict energy savings from better HVAC systems or better building materials. It can also be used to optimally size both existing and new HVAC systems boosting energy savings by 10-50%.

ObjectiveTechnology
Background: UV-curable coating materials with high biorenewable content performance comparable to petrochemical-based formulations and lower cost are highly desirable. Commercialized soybean oil (SBO) derivatives such as acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (ASBO) are important starting materials for the development of soy-based materials such as coatings adhesives plasticizers inks and lubricants. Combining monomers possessing higher acrylate functionality with ASBO is expected to produce UV-curable coatings with better crosslinking and thus greatly enhanced coating film properties.

Technology
This technology provides a carbon nanotube composite matrix which improves thermal conductivity and heat dissipation compared to existing commercially available material. Carbon nanotubes can be organized in a random or specific alignment to fit the needs of the application. Because the melting point of carbon nanotubes (> 2000F) far exceeds traditional metals the composite provides a material that can withstand higher temperatures is able to conduct heat at an accelerated rate.

Background: As petroleum usage continues to increase and reserves of petroleum continue to be depleted polymer manufacturers seek alternative methods for making useful materials currently derived from petroleum raw materials. Because of a personal desire to help understand and exploit \\\'green\\\' technologies the inventor of this technology has been studying bio-based material sciences since 2000. After a few years of work and several experiments it became apparent that a simple method to convert plant oils into polyols was possible in a one-pot process.

Objective
Background: IR and UV reflective polymer films or coatings have been deposited on windows to prevent IR and UV penetration inside the house. This decreases the energy consumption for cooling the house and prevents UV discoloration damage to the carpets and appliances inside. The conventional method for this window treatment is expensive because of the cost of high vacuum deposition technique and the high degree of preciseness needed to control the thickness of the polymer film.
