... EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Solar Thermal and Photovoltaics As identified more than 20 years ago in the Bruntland report, the technology for solar thermal and solar electric technologies is constantly improving and "it is likely that their contribution [to energy production] will increase substantially" (Bruntland 1987, p.

... Ways that windows may continue to contribute to building energy efficiency include: • Insulation Filled Glazing -- "There are several options for highly insulating windows with aerogel, honeycombs, and capillary tubes located between glazing panes. These materials provide diffuse light, not a clear view" [Center for Sustainable Building Research -- University of Minnesota (CSBR-UMN)
