Research Project on ways that people can capture energy from the sun from the use of solar panels or solar windows.

Welcome to my blog about ways people can make their homes environmentally friendly. Please feel free to leave a comment on anything that you think could help me in my research.
You need to be more specific about what you are looking at. Are you talking about renovations? If so, then you and Meghan have a similar topic. She is looking at energy efficiency, so perhaps you could look at another aspect like interior finishes and determine which are best in terms of indoor air quality, use of recycled/ reused materials, durability and embodied energy. The book, Green From the Ground up is very good. I have a copy if you want to take a look.
