The featured type-1 RSI PVW which has been in production and in high demand since 2008, is a multi-tier window system with transparent thin-film coating that enables the window to generate electricity while reducing heat transfer up to 90%. Since energy leaks out mostly through windows, the PVW can save more than 65% in air-conditioning bills in the summer and in heating costs in the winter.
The RSI photovoltaic window is a catalyst to Building 2.0 with an intelligent energy storage and management system (iConnet). Building 2.0 (SPB) is a power generating, energy-efficient and economically superior 2nd generation building with a sophisticated approach to urban design. It is like living in your own power-station where electricity is produced exactly where it is needed.
SPBs increase and preserve property value, reduce total cost of ownership, lower operating costs, assure higher occupation rates, provide longer lifespan for the building with healthy indoor air free of germs and VOCs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make building owners/occupants exempt to future energy price increases.
Unlike the 1st generation approach to RE economy which is collapsing because of highly speculative valuations, Building 2.0 is a bankable and insurable investment that invigorates the economy, creates jobs, accelerates investments in new technology with opportunities for new companies and it guarantees better energy security.
