Filming a Japanese Movie In New Orleans

Houston AIA Green Expo

From the “Green Expo” over the weekend, I have some info on the following:

Thin film PV exterior rain screen panel. This panel can also act as a translucent wall panel between the PV film pattern. Custom patterns are possible. Actually this was one of the most interesting material I saw, though much more research would be needed. The site also has info on ventilated facades, which is a rainscreen that also provides a thermal break between cladding and envelope materials.

NASA had a booth and had some handouts on what they are doing that is green. They also had some nice posters of their rockets!

All in all I was hoping to see more eye opening products coming on the market than there were.
