Code For Sustainable Homes
GSHE 300% Efficiency = 3kWh of Heat for 1kWh of electricity Gas (oil) burned to turn water into steam Steam drives a turbine Turbine drives a generator Generator makes electricity Electricity transformed up to 475,000v Electricity transmitted through the grid Electricity transformed back to 415v Mike Hillard
Micro Turbines 8.4% Efficiency Commercial wind farms are min. 25% Efficiency Capital cost is double that of a commercial one per kW capacity Little useful wind at roof top level Payback time approx. 52 years Life expectancy approx. 10 years. Mike Hillard

Business Intelligence Organizations are gathering and storing more and more data. Every year the amount of data in the world is approximately doubling. This data is of little benefit unless it can, 1. be turned into useful information, and 2. automatically delivered to the appropriate people when they need it.
