One of the key aspects of the CarbonStop.org approach is to foster new and emerging technologies that offer the potential for additional carbon reductions within the single-family home market. Mr. Hall (and others) have directed, conducted and supervised several peer reviewed studies of emerging markets and new and innovative technologies for both the United States Department of Energy and for several key states, including California and New York, from which have expanded the development of many of these emerging technologies via their emerging energy efficiency initiatives. In time CarbonStop.org will identify the need for additional new and potential technologies that can help support the client’s objectives as well as those of our country and for the operations of CarbonStop.org itself. This has already started to occur as Mr. Hall and others have worked with the USDOE, California and New York in this capacity in the past. Technologies identified that have yet to be commercialized include attached supplemental exterior facades that provide an additional, up to R-60, zero-infiltration insulation to homes. Another is the development of interior wall panels that are R20-R30 that contain prewired electrical conduits for home wiring while increasing the efficiency of the walls when exterior facades are not appropriate.
