New developments have been made in the study of transparent wood, which first made waves in March 2016 when Swedish researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology discovered that they were able to remove the lignin in wood, the molecule that makes it rigid and dark in color, and replace it with epoxy. Engineers at the University of Maryland demonstrated later that year that windows made of transparent wood could provide more even and consistent natural lighting and better energy efficiency than glass. This study was published in the Journal of Advanced Materials.

Customer service is one thing that all window film businesses should keep in mind before starting any project. Many in the industry would agree that poor customer service could impact your bottom line, and the team at New York Window Film Co., located in Farmingdale, New York, agrees. "We treat every customer the same no matter what the project size is because the customer is the most important," says Steve Pesce, New York Window Film Co., president.

Hygiene regulations require food and beverage manufacturers to operate at buildings that meet specific standards in their layout, design and construction. In particular, production spaces should permit good hygiene practices, be easy to clean and disinfect and should protect food against external sources of contamination, such as pests and bacteria. Door systems play an essential role in preventing cross-contamination as well as maintaining correct room temperatures and ensuring optimum operating efficiency. Let's look at some of the key considerations in more detail.

Many people think of sales and marketing as one effort, but they are not. Unfortunately, most people who only focus on one and not the other, typically do so because they don’t know, or understand the difference or the value of either. So, let’s set the record straight. Marketing is everything you say, and everything you do, to create, support and facilitate the buying process. Selling is the buying process; it’s the transfer the goods or services for the perceived value they’re paying (closing the deal).

Tameeka Gwyn is used to schlepping concrete weighing as much as 60 pounds around a construction site. For Janna Rojas, it's a cinch to carry metal pipes as heavy as 100 pounds going into new plumbing. "When you first do it, it's quite a shock, but it's reality," says Gwyn, who with Rojas is helping build a high-rise for Manhattan's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. They are some of the new faces of the 21st-century American construction worker — with women slowly making inroads in an industry still dominated by men.

To stay relevant, repositioned assets have to keep up with a new generation of sleek, efficient green buildings. One way for owners and developers to quickly add value during repositioning efforts is by improving window quality. Energy-efficient windows can help keep buildings from falling behind a greener market. "Sometimes building owners’ budgets won’t allow for the expense of full glass replacement," Campbell Window Film CEO Brad Campbell said. "Using window film to convert existing, single-paned windows into high-performance glass can be a more cost-effective solution."

The rise of energy consumption in recent decades has led to an increasing demand for renewable energy and energy-saving systems. A team of environmentally-aware, plasma surface engineering experts at the University of Sydney is focused on responding to the rise in energy consumption by developing a more efficient and effective smart window. According to a recent press release, the smart window uses thin plasma fabricated coating to efficiently conserve energy by responding to light, heat and other environmental factors; blocking off the flow of light and heat as required.
