Green Insulator The insulator is made up with a special liquid gel , which could prevent heat transfer up to 350 degree Celsius. It can be applied in the glass ( transparent ) of any building, to bring the sun light in, without heating the interior. We can expect 20% energy saving from air-conditioner and lightnings. 2. Green Roof We heard of the this idea long time ago, where people planting on the roof. - it could absorb heat from entering the building. - it could release fresher air back to environment just like jungle ...
