ETFE is effectively the high-strength version of the other three in this group. ETFE film is self-cleaning (due to its nonstick properties) and recyclable. [2] As a film for roofing it can be stretched and still be taut if some variation in size, such as that caused by thermal expansion, were to occur.
Vector Foiltec is a business using transparent plastic cushions filled with air as an architectural cladding technology. This solution can be better than glass panels in applications such as roofs over aggressive environments where chemicals would attack a metal window frame, or where the transparent panels have to accommodate deformation due to changing thermal conditions.
Green roofs may not reflect as much as a cool roof but do have other benefits such as evapotranspiration which cools the plants and the immediate area around the plants, aiding in lowering rooftop temperatures but increasing humidity, naturally. Moreover, some Green roofs need maintenance such as regular watering.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), in many ways, can be thought of as belonging to a different group, as it is essentially a high strength engineering version of the others featuring what are likely to be considered slightly diminished properties in the other fields when compared with PTFE, FEP and PFA.
Low emissivity (low e or low thermal emissivity) refers to a surface condition that emits low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy. All materials absorb, reflect, and emit radiant energy according to Planck's law but here, the primary concern is a special wavelength interval of radiant energy, namely thermal radiation of materials.

An Instagram video — shared by user @heyitsgingerandpepper — captures Ginger as she sits poised at a miniature table adorned with red roses, flickering candles, and even a bottle of Champagne.
Movable roof of the Bengt Sjostrom Theatre in Rockford, Illinois able to modulate the indoor environmental conditions to maximize the occupants' experience. In building engineering, a climate-adaptive building shell (CABS) is a façade or roof that interacts with the variability of its environment in a dynamic way. Conventional structures have ...
