The energy panel system is a good example of solutions that balance carbon reduction comfort cost and other social benefits. It is important to show case systems that have a very low carbon and how the acceptance of these new systems can change many of our assumptions about where we need to put our efforts in combating climate change. In terms of buildings, there are two roads to decarbonization, one is the reduction of carbon use by changing our source of energy (converting to heat pumps) and the other is the reduction of all types of energy we use in construction and materials as well as operations of buildings through weatherization and reducing the size of our living spaces. We need to pursue both to achieve our goals, but the road less travel is the energy reduction. Conservation of energy or products is not incentivized in our economic system. This means mass transit, weatherization, denser settlement patterns and more multi-family housing are not getting the attention that they need. There are very few good affordable options when it comes to weatherizing existing windows. The energy panel system is one of the best ones and it is available on a limited basis today, It also has many other social benefits, like supporting local economies. It is affordable enough to make a significant improvement to the underperforming windows and storm windows in the majority of the existing houses throughout New England and the Northeast. Weatherization in general and windows in particular lack the attention and federal subsidies of more traditional capitalistic solutions that are based on building and consuming something new.
