Raleigh Super Windows Energy Star with Reflective Block Technology

Earth Conscious

The Dixie SuperWindow™ is ENERGY STAR® rated, which means it will give you the highest possible thermal performance. The ENERGY STAR® Window Program is a voluntary partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy and participating window manufacturers. All of our windows using Earthwise™ Low-E Glass are ENERGY STAR® compliant. We also feature ERG™ Energy Reflective Glass, the Enviro-Seal™ Spacer System and the The Aller-Guard® System.

Enviro-Seal™ Spacer System

Lowest conductivity warm edge spacer

Improved condensation resistance

Superior argon gas retention

Unique patented design

Exceeds ENERGY STAR® requirements

ERG™ Energy Reflective Glass

ERG™ Energy Reflective Glass permits 64 percent of the sun’s natural light to enter your home while blocking 72 percent of its heat energy. That means you can expect a summer cooling cost savings of up to 25 percent and lower your heating cost by cutting heat loss by nearly 50 percent. The microscopically-thin heat-reflective coating blocks solar energy in the summer and reduces the escape of heat in the winter — without altering the appearance of your window inside or out.

The Aller-Guard® System

The Aller-Guard® 100 weatherstripping system resists and kills allergy-aggravating microparticles of pollen, fungi, mold, mildew, dust, dirt and bacteria. It also helps prevent the infiltration of exterior odors and gasses such as carbon monoxide.

How It Works

Aller-Guard® Heavy Strength Double Fin Barrier

For the effective perimeter sealing and insulating benefits against air/water infiltration, sound and dust

Resists the growth of allergy-related microparticles of pollen, mold and mildew

Aller-Guard® Heavy Strength Yarn Construction

For superior insulation qualities and consistent surface contact

Ensures a quality insulation and the elimination of window and door vibration

Aller-Guard® 100 Pile

Insulating pile yarn is resilient, long-lasting and provides continuous sealing and insulation performance

Aller-Guard® 100 Construction

For strength, long term durability and long term performance

Optional tempered safety glass

Standard warm edge spacer

Gasoline Saving Suggestions And

Recommendations For Better Car Performance Part 2

By: GARKO

In recent days, I have been earnestly seeking out any workable suggestions for getting reduced gas consumption and I dug up a bonus. The tips that actually work to improve MPG also save you from having to do additional work being required on your car brought on by poor driving habits.

If you are not spending $100s every year to maintain your car under fender to fender warranty or you have a masochistic streak which actually derives perverted pleasure from taking your dysfunctional auto for repairs and being taken to the cleaners with extra work being required on your car and having your automobile sit for days at the shop while you take the bus and fret about it like a father-to-be in a hospital waiting room then possibly care to use these bits of advice. Saving cash on gas and on work being required on your car are cousins.

Think about what else that cash you are wasting could do for you. Go on a trip? Get a better auto? Install a home theater system? For sure there are more useful things you can use your cash for than an endless stream of repairs on your auto!

In 2006 the average cost per gallon of gas was $2.14.
Now it is $3.09 across all 50 states.
Three years ago the cost of one single barrel of oil was fifty dollars and people were pissed.
In 2007 the cost of a barrel of oil is $100 and you don’t hear much griping because the broad public have fallen into despair.
Of course, the severe devaluation of the dollar is another factor. It can be noted that while the cost of gas has soared, the dollar value in decline has also made the cost of gas seem to go up faster than it actually has. Overall, it is a critical situation for the US economy and gas prices.
If you are not quite ready to surrender and still want to maximize your fuel efficiency and keep as much money as possibly in your pocket and out of the greedy, slimy fingers of oil company executives then there are things that you can do.

Do you remember the episode of the original Star Trek where Captain Kirk, the great commander of the Starship Enterprise beams down to a society that is dramatizing gangland Chicago and Kirk is trying to manuever an old style vehicle and control the gear shifting and barely makes his way down the street with many fits and starts and lurches? That was not a training manual! The point? Be a smooth driver. Frequent short stops aren’t helpful for your automobile or your automobile’s gas efficiency. So anticipate stops where possible. Letting your car wind down to a stop is a good way to increased MPG

Obey the speed limit. Speeding is a very costly way to drive. Flying above the maximum permitted speed may complete your trip in less time, but it also means more visits to the gasoline pump and possibly even a couple to the local traffic court. Oh, and regarding traffic court… be VERY cautious about driving near the courthouse… that is where all the lousy drivers have to go… that is one reason. Another thing to be aware of is that the city usually anticipates that they can get you another traffic citation while you are in the area since you were unfortunate to get one the first time. They will set something up like having a “no turn on red light” sign partially hid and they will give you a steeper penalty. I found just such a trap in Burbank There was a sign that said that violation at that traffic light would be a $380 fine! Can’t say that these people do not have a sense of humor!

Here are some facts about driving at higher speeds. Faster driving is going to impede your fuel mileage proportionately. So the faster you go, the bigger the gas efficiency hit on your vehicle. Driving seventy five mph as opposed to 65 mph will impede your fuel mileage by ten percent. Crusing along at 70 mph as opposed to 55 mph will lower your impede your fuel mileage by 18 percent. So stop viewing speed limit signs as suggestions and slow down. Adhering to the speed limit is the safest and cheapest way to drive.

Most other suggestions are totally contradictory or wrong… Some articles recommended don’t use your airconditioner which is not very helpful if you are a resident of or it is in the summer in the city! Then I found one article that says to keep your vehicle’s windows open for city driving but to use the AC when you are on the parkways because having the windows open while driving above 55MPH adds drag which increases gas consumption. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who cares? Does it improve MPG? No, probably not!

The most real solution to improve your MPG, with gasoline prices in the $3-4.50 range up and down over the last year or so is to sever your umbilical cord… the one that binds you to the gasoline pump and shed your chains of slavery to the oil companies and….

Convert to a hydrogen engine!
How would it be you never needed to pump another gallon of gas again?
Convert your gas engine to hydrogen.
If you do a partial (hybrid) conversion then you should see increased MPG of up to 30% maybe more.
If you do this and also add acetone to your gas tank (which will save you another 25% or so) then you will have reduced your gas consumption by a combined 50%! Put in about 2-3 ounces of acetone per 10 gallons of gas and the gas will vaporize less easily and you improve your MPG by 25% or more.
If you do a full gas to hydrogen conversion then you will never have to pump another gallon of gas for the rest of your life. It is very simple to do, costs next to nothing, doesn’t pollute the environment and you will enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to conserve resources instead of consuming more than your fair share.

Raleigh N.C. IST Hot Tubs and Spas

Raleigh N.C. Hot Tubs, Spas, Swim Spas

Raleigh Pool and Spa Eco Friendly IST Spas

919 876 9494

IST Hot Tubs and Spas are Green Machines
Energy costs are on everyone’s mind, so it’s comforting to know that IST builds each spa to give you the best experience with the least amount of energy. Consider that IST spas are currently evaluated to save up to 30% of energy costs over spas of similar size and water capacity. Add to that the energy savings you achieve by enjoying your spa at home, instead of driving to the health club. A ‘staycation’ is fun, convenient and cost effective. Plus, when the spa party gets going, you’ll be creating a lot of your own energy!

Green Manufacturing
With a steadfast commitment to quality, IST focuses on build-to-demand manufacturing, holding scrap to a minimum and recycling remaining material. No fiberglass is used in production, making for cleaner air and a safer working environment, and the 100% composite construction not only results in a better, longer lasting spa but also requires less use of natural resources.

Low Energy LED Lighting
Optional lighting package uses energy saving LED lights that are brighter at lower wattage than standard lighting.

With IST, you’re not only getting a great product. You’re also getting a spa that’s environmentally friendly and can save you costs on your energy bill. It’s just one more way that IST is the spa that makes sense.

The IST Enerjacket™
From efficient pumps to thorough insulation, IST is engineered with an innovative Enerjacket™ that efficiently maintains warmth in closed loop energy conservation, making your new spa one of the most efficient ways to have fun and enjoy healthy benefits.

Two Stage Heater
Efficiency begins with ‘smarter’ heaters. Instead of turning high-level heat on for short periods, IST two stage heaters use a lower level for maintaining heat during vacancy, keeping your overall heat costs lower and saving energy.

Commercial-Quality Water-Based Foam Insulation
Spa shells and Casement interiors are sprayed with high-density, water-based foam insulation, the same type used in high-efficiency homes. Unlike polyurethane foam, water-based foam does not release CFCs, making it as ‘green’ as it is effective.

High Density 5/3 Cover
IST spa covers keep the heat in, elements out. Constructed of 2 lb. foam, IST covers feature a full five inches of insulation at the peak and three inches at the edges, covered in durable marine-grade vinyl and are tapered for water run-off. Child-resistant safety locks meet ASTM safety standards.

Programmable Energy Controls
IST touch pad controls let you set multiple water temperature preferences for in-use and idle times, saving energy while maintaining water at your desired temperature.

Matched Jet Pumps
Cool running 56 frame pumps are hydraulically matched for each spa model; they’re not oversized or undersized. Three pumps total; one is a low power 48 frame pump for low-cost but effective circulation through the day and night. The other two are pure performance pumps for moving more water.  It’s the thrust you trust.

Tuned JetSTREAM™
Specially designed manifold plumbing system allows water to flow virtually unrestricted to the jets for maximum thrust with energy.

Recycled materials, composite casement and a
smart heating system. That’s what makes a
relaxing and luxurious IST spa. With IST, you
conserve energy and save up to 30%
over the competition, meaning a lower
energy bill and a comfortable,
soothing experience.

Green Energy Reflective Barrier Insultation

Free Home Energy Evaluation Save Up to 35% on Heating and Cooling Bills

Free Hot Water Heater Insulation Blanket when you have a Free Home Energy Evaluation Diamond Barrier Reflective Insulation

Raleigh N.C. Radiant Barrier Insulation Save up to 35% on Home Heating and Air Conditioning Bills

Most studies on radiant barrier reflective insulation products have been related to the amount of radiant heat from the sun that can be blocked from entering building structures in the south. However, radiant barrier reflective insulation can also provide benefits in the winter months / cooler climates by retaining heat generated within a building thereby, keeping a building warmer without the use of added heating costs.

Studies have shown that up to 93% of ceiling heat gained in summer months occurs from radiant heat transfers from attics heated by radiant energy from the sun.Roof shingles and decking absorb radiant heat generated by the sun and transfer this heat into attic spaces heating up existing insulation. Once this existing insulation meets its saturation point, it then radiates this heat to all surfaces within the interior of the home (ceilings and walls).

Diamond Barrier™ and reflective insulation products BLOCK almost ALL of this radiant heat.

Typical attics have insulation that can trap heat and add costs to your energy bills. Diamond Barrier™ reflects the heat making your home much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Diamond Barrier™ radiant barrier reflective insulation products can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when installed to the underside of roof rafters. Lowering attic temperatures provides a significant benefit by reducing air conditioner loads and energy usage.

Diamond Barrier™ is a high quality, double-sided, tear- and puncture-resistant radiant barrier product. All Diamond Barrier™ products meet the Standard Specifications for Sheet Radiant Barriers for Building Construction Applications ASTM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

How does Diamond Barrier™ work?

A.

Diamond Barrier™ is unlike mass insulation which only slows down or resists heat transfer. Diamond Barrier™ reflects heat. Heat naturally goes cool; the problem is how to keep the heat in the winter and how to keep the heat out of the attic and home in the summer. There are three ways in which heat goes from warm spaces to cold spaces: CONDUCTION is direct heat flow through a solid object such as a wall or a ceiling. CONVECTION is heat movement through air, occurring when air is warmed. The warm expands, becoming less dense and rising. RADIATION is the movement of heat rays across air spaces from one warm object to a cooler object. The heat we feel from a wood stove or a quartz space heater is radiant heat. ALL OBJECTS AND BODIES GIVE OFF RADIANT HEAT. Even the insulation in your attic gives off radiant heat to the cold attic space in the winter, and to the living space in the summer.

Regular insulation won’t stop radiant heat loss. Radiant heat must be REFLECTED with a radiant barrier.

Q.

I already have plenty of insulation in my attic. Do I really need Diamond Barrier™?

A.

Regardless of how much insulation you have in your attic, adding Diamond Barrier™ will save on your heating and cooling expense, and keep you much more comfortable. Energy savings for heating and cooling can vary from 17% to 25% depending on a number of factors, including climate, building configuration, materials used, site, family size and lifestyle. Your Diamond Barrier™ Expert has been trained to evaluate your home or business and advise you of your savings potential.

Q.

Where do you install Diamond Barrier™?

A.

Diamond Barrier™ can be laid over your present insulation like a blanket or stapled under your rafters or crawl space.

Q.

Will my roof get hotter when I have Diamond Barrier™ in my attic?

A.

No. Diamond Barrier™ has been used extensively in the south, showing no difference in roof temperatures, as confirmed by field tests.

Q.

What is the R-Value of Radiant Barrier?

A.

The R-value depends on the number and size of the airspaces surrounding the Diamond Barrier™ and on the direction of the heat flow. Since Diamond Barrier™ is usually installed on top of existing mass insulation, its R-value is not affected. It is Diamond Barrier™’s ability to reflect heat that makes it an excellent energy saver.

Nature 2 :: Eco-Friendly Products

We hear so much these days about ways to green our homes, but very little about extending that eco-awareness into the backyard. However, many are looking for ways to make a move towards environmentally responsible pool care. And, with recent reports that chlorine levels in pools are often 200 to 400 times higher than what is considered safe for the environment (source, Yahoo! Green) and findings that link regular swimming in chlorinated pools by young children to an increased risk of developing asthma (source, The Green Guide), the call to action becomes all the more pressing. It is good to know that there are alternatives out there.

Zodiac’s Nature2 mineral sanitizing products for the pool and spa dramatically reduce the need for heavy doses of chlorine and provide an eco-friendly choice for pool and spa maintenance. Call Raleigh Pool and Spa 7101 cheviot hills dr. (capital blvd) raleigh nc 27616 919 – 876 – 9494
