Researchers use nanotechnology for new techniques that could cut your cooling and heating bills By   DANIEL AKST / Ny Times  Modern windows can do a decent job of saving energy by keeping indoor and outdoor climates apart, but they have some big shortcomings. It is tough, for example, to reap the benefit of sunlight streaming through a window without also taking in the sun’s heat, which isn’t welcome on a steamy summer day. Conversely, that same heat—so desirable in winter—comes with light whether you want it or not. If only windows could control heat and light independently—and at a low enough cost that this feature could be used in all kinds of buildings. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been working on the problem. In 2013, they used nanotechnology to come up with a two-part coating that, when triggered by a small electrical impulse, let windows admit light while repelling heat. In two new pape

Your green roof  is an incredible engineering feat that provides insulation and storm water management, but could its lush greenery be putting you at risk for an invasion of pests? Vegetated roofs are often touted as a way to encourage biodiversity, but that isn’t limited to the plant selection. Whether your roof has low grass, flowers, shrubs, or food gardens, insects and animals will inevitably be attracted to the foliage.   Integrated pest management can help you stay ahead of pest activity and ensure any infestations are treated in an environmentally sensitive manner. Follow these tips to ensure your roof will thrive without becoming overrun with wildlife. 1) Understand Which Pests Frequent Vegetated Roofs : Animals need three things to survive – food, water, and shelter – so it’s no surprise that a manicured green roof can provide these in abundance.  “Green roofs are living architecture,” explains Pat Copps, a board certified entomologist and technical services

Mosquitoes - Facts, Identification & Infestation Latin Name Family Culicidae Appearance/Identification Mosquitoes belong to the same group as the true flies, Diptera. As such, they have a single pair of wings. They typically have long, thin legs and a head featuring a prominent proboscis. Mosquito bodies and wings most often are covered in tiny scales. Adult sizes may range from 3 to 9 mm. Behavior, Diet & Habits Mosquitoes are best known for the habits of the adult females which often feed on blood to help generate their eggs. The lesser-known side is that mosquito adults, males and females, also feed on nectar from flowers. Their immature stages usually are located in standing, preferably stagnant, water. The larvae feed on variety of materials, depending on species. Most consume organic flotsam and tiny aquatic organisms. However, some species are predatory and will consume other mosquitoes. Adult mosquitoes prefer to be most active from dusk until dawn but
