An environmentally-friendly house that stays fresh even in summer

Eric pay attention to environmental protection are looking for an environment-friendly and energy-saving house with warm winters and cool summers. Eric used to live in a western exposure house. The temperature in hot summer often exceeds 38°C. The average annual power consumption of the air conditioner is more than double that of the north-south facing houses. In summer, the heat of the western exposure during the day is stored in the walls of the house. At night, it takes a long time to cool down.

After a long search, Eric decided to buy an energy-efficient house. The large roof and deep eaves design can block most direct sunlight entering the house; the house also has many windows and corridors that are conducive to natural wind convection. The walls use high-quality thermal insulation and an airtight building envelope. In summer, an excellent thermal insulation layer ensures that the heat is kept outside the house. In addition, the windows of the new home use triple glazed windows. Compared with single-layer glass, triple-layer glass can increase the thermal insulation performance of insulating glass by twice, and can greatly reduce the power consumption of air-conditioned buildings. It can insulate more than 70% in summer, and keep indoor heating not easy to lose in winter, reducing heat loss by up to 40%, effectively playing the role of heat preservation, turning winter warmth and summer coolness into reality.

The advanced Ventilation System can introduce fresh air from outside to improve air convection and reduce indoor carbon dioxide concentration and formaldehyde hazards. At the same time, the automatic dehumidification function in the system reduces the production of molds that are harmful to human health. High-performance filtration devices can effectively adsorb dust, pollen and other particulate matter to eliminate indoor air pollutants and improve indoor air quality. It's a good news for children with asthma and allergies at home.

To fulfill the requirement of energy saving, air-conditioning and heating systems, lamps and lanterns all use low energy consumption equipment. The solar panel on the roof is equipped with a smart-home energy-management system. In the morning, the electricity generated by solar energy can be stored in the home in different forms to provide the electricity demand at night. In addition to producing electricity for own use, it produces extra Electricity can be sold, and only a small portion of electricity purchased from utilities is required during peak periods of electricity consumption, but overall, the amount of electricity sold is still greater than the amount of electricity purchased.

The three most energy-consumption industries in the world are: construction, transportation and industry. Among the developed countries, the construction industry consumes more than 35% of the energy, and more than 60% of the energy consumption comes from air-conditioning electricity. Global renewable energy power generation is expected to increase by 50% in 5 years, mainly driven by the installation of solar energy in homes, buildings and enterprises. In just 10 years, the cost of solar energy has dropped by more than 80%. From a cost perspective, solar power generation has become increasingly competitive.

In 2019, hydropower is still the main force for the amount of renewable energy installations in the world, followed by wind power. Although solar power ranks third, solar energy has developed rapidly. From a cost perspective, solar power generation has become more and more competitive. Solar energy also accounted for 55% of the total number of new renewable energy installations in 2019, most of which are in Asian countries such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea. As for Europe, as of the end of 2019, Germany is still the largest market, with Italy in second place and Britain in third place; and USA is the largest in the America continent. The vigorous development of the solar energy industry, coupled with the California policy of the United States, requires that new houses must be installed with solar panels in 2020, further driving the solar energy industry.

From December 2019 to February 2020, there was a phenomenon of unbalanced supply and demand of spaces and shortage of empty containers. TGL’s colleagues assisted solar panel factories to ship 900 x 40HQ containers within three months ( December 2019 through early March 2020 ) from Vietnam to the American East coast, regardless of day, night, weekdays or holidays,. In Hai Phong port, only barges ( few hundreds capacity ) service to main ports in China to catch up the mother vessels. Under the condition of severe lack of space, such a large quantity can be transported in a short period of time, relying on TGL colleagues to communicate sleeplessly between several Chinese shippers, Vietnamese factories, containers depot, VN custom office as well as carriers in professionally solving complex problems and unexpected situations. When the Covid-19 epidemic began, and the Asian people were panic, TGL especially relies on the cooperation with many carriers who have been trusting and cooperating all years round, to successfully carry out this difficult project.
