P r o d u c t s T A he growing importance of energy efficiency and sustainability has given birth to new generations of products and technologies available in the marketplace. A sampling is included here. A Paintable dry-erase surface IdeaPaint is the maker of a roller-applied paint that can transform any paintable surface into a highperformance dry-erase writing platform. ideaPaint costs roughly 66% less than a traditional whiteboard and is compliant with leed for schools requirements. HPB.hotims.com/37998-158 B invisible solar Collector ThermaPAVer from Therma-HEXX is an invisible thermal solar collection system comprised of an insulated aluminum heat exchanger that is sized to match standard 2 ft × 2 ft concrete or stone pavers. As heat is extracted, the paver surface is kept at a cooler temperature to provide a more comfortable surface and help reduce the urban heat island effect. HPB.hotims.com/37998-150 C daylighting system LightLouver™ daylighting system combines daylighting and solar control in one product using a patented, passive optical design to redirect daylight while eliminating glare and sunlight penetration. The units are integrated into the interior building fenestration design to provide uniform ambient lighting while being protected from the weather. HPB.hotims.com/37998-151 D rooftop solar Hot Air Collector Enerconcept Technologies introduces the luba™ gl, an inexpensive and lightweight rooftop solar hot air collector for supplemental outside air heating in commercial, institutional and industrial facilities. The patented luba gl’s back-panel perforations transpire air from outside to within the collector, which reduces heat loss and eliminates the weight and cost of insulation used in other collectors. The luba gl can provide up to 15% to 30% of outside air heating requirements, depending on geography and weather. HPB.hotims.com/37998-154 E eV Charging station Siemens announces its VersiCharge™ line of electrical vehicle (eV) charging stations. Both VersiCharge models are weather-proofed for indoor or outdoor service and feature a flexible, plate-based mounting system.
