ADVANCED ENERGY
In response to energy conservation demands, energy conservation is a system has for some time been implemented in homes, as well as industrial and commercial sectors. Energy consumption adversely affects the economy on all levels; high energy costs are an impediment to economic development for any country. A determined effort needs are taken by both private individuals & large businesses alike to reduce their input of “energy” into our global ecosystem – which includes many aspects including economic output (gross domestic product).
To meet the ever-growing energy needs of an increasingly industrializing population, huge capital investments are required. Determining ways to reduce our consumption is key in reducing operational costs and improving not only productivity but also the quality of life for all who inhabit this planet that we call Earth.
Boron has a role to play in multiple aspects of energy management. For instance, the use of boron can provide several benefits for buildings. Boron-based coatings, for example, are highly effective in reducing both heat and cooling costs. These coatings are also resistant to corrosion and produce less CO2 emissions than other types of paints.
