organization that works for better environmental conservation and the preservation of endangered species, and they are striving to put an end to global warming by the human race. Global warming is a natural process; however because of the rate humans are pouring pollutants into the air, the warming is highly exhilarated. We, as a nation have the technology to supply our energy needs without the use of fossil fuels. According to Greenpeace ( 2010 ), “With current technology, renewable energy sources like

Name: Course: Instructor: Date: Abstract Solar energy is renewable energy that comes from the sun. The paper tries to focus on the new advancement in solar energy technology. However, advancement in solar energy comes with problems for instance the collection and distribution of this energy harnessed from the sun. it further evaluates the problem by exploring the technology used to promote efficiency in solar power collection and storage. On the literature review, the study focuses on how other

exhaustion. It is evidential that the situations need to be checked or repressed. However, the solutions should satisfy the urgent requirement of energy as well. Nuclear and solar energy are two clean, practicable solutions for human beings. Because they have been tested and been put to use since the mid twentieth century. On the surface, nuclear and solar energy seem absolutely different in other aspects except for low direct pollution and practicability. In fact, they share some significant similarities

Solar power as away of providing heat and electrical energy from heat The Sun the heat of the sun is about equivalent to burning a billion trillion tons of coal an hour. Even though only a small fraction of that heat ever reaches the earth it is still more then enough to power the whole world. People seemed to realize the importance of the sun around 30,000 BC. This was when people first started planting crops of wheat. They realized

they can have all the comfort and safety systems at the same place. They want to associate their building in a very productive , integrated and practical way. This approach of a building will help to fulfil the mission to diminish the unnecessary energy costs and support the sturdy grid technology and minimises environmental impact. So here we go with a very literary definition of Smart Building- Any architectural design which uses computerised processes to automatically
