Smart Buildings
Eco-intelligent buildings are rapidly becoming the cost-competitive choice for today’s growing cities. New technologies make these buildings not only possible, but the smart choice. Integrated solar panels, energy-efficient glass for skins and computer managed sensors are just a few of the innovation enabled by Applied Materials’ technology. Think forward, think solar. Run your meter backward.
Next-Generation Buildings
Did you know buildings can perform photosynthesis just like plants? Applied Materials is redefining how buildings interact with the environment. Imagine building-integrated solar cells that convert electricity directly from the sun, flexible solar panels that replace roof tiles or LED lighting used to reduce energy consumption by 60%. Imagine no more! Applied is making this reality.
Eco-Glass
Applied Materials’ architectural low-e glass systems have produced over 20 billion square feet of energy efficient glass. By cloaking some of the highest skyscrapers in the world, low-e glass output for 2007 is estimated to have saved the equivalent energy output of 12 oil wells. Based upon these rates, in 2015 the forecasted annual equivalent savings will be approximately 100 oil wells.
Electrons, Serious Savings
By 2025, large-scale adoption of solid state lighting technology could reduce America’s energy consumption for lighting by 60%, saving consumers up to $40 billion and keeping 100 megatons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere each year. At Applied, our scientists are applying nanomanufacturing technology to improve the way people live.
