With a $99,000 base, the 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is a powerful green luxury machine that’s gotten a sexy makeover with tighter lines, more defined contours, newly shaped body elements including a new trunk lid, an automatically deploying spoiler and the option of having striking-looking full LED headlights.
these top-of-the line homes are more durable and energy efficient as well as luxurious, not just because of lower utility and maintenance costs but because they can control their energy destiny and, for many, it’s the right thing to do. Marc Spector, an architect and owner of the Spector Group, said his design build firm, “always likes to propose geothermal to the client.” Despite upfront costs that are two to three times as expensive as a conventional heating and cooling system, geothermal pays off in about five years. The Spector group has successfully installed geothermal systems in homes from 5500 to 15,000 square feet in Old Westbury, Kings Point, the Hamptons and the South Shore, as well as in schools and office buildings.

While the outdoor temperature fluctuates with the changing seasons, underground temperatures remain relatively constant year-round. Geothermal systems capitalize on those steady subterranean temperatures and use a buried system of pipes known as an earth loop and an indoor handling unit to provide “free energy” and savings “up to 70 percent on utility bills over using oil,” Marc explained. Going geothermal also eliminates issues with fumes or carbon monoxide associated with burning natural gas or other polluting fossil fuels. “There are so many secondary and tertiary benefits especially when dealing with a really large home,” Marc added. Geothermal is well suited for use with radiant floors, heating swimming pools and hot water, and for powering heat pads that de-ice driveways, eliminating the need to shovel and salt. “If you have geothermal, you have unlimited capacity to tap into,” Marc said. “It is happening more, and more.” According to a Green Home Builders and Remodelers by McGraw-Hill Construction and the National Association of Home Builders, green homes are expected to comprise between 29 and 38 percent of the market by 2016, up from 17 percent in 2011. Spending on eco-friendly home technologies such as energy efficient windows, solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling and foam insulation will zoom from $17 billion three years ago to $87 billion to $114 billion by 2016. Green home remodeling will show even greater gains. Smart home technology is also part of the efficiency equation, for convenience as well as energy savings. Remotely controlled by iPhones and iPads, home automation systems can turn off the lights, turn up the pool temperature, close the shades, text you if there’s a break- in and remotely run entertainment systems. Smartphones can check on what’s in the fridge while you’re at the supermarket, run a robot vacuum cleaner and remotely unlock doors. Home monitoring videos let you know what your puppy is up to while you’re at the office, and mobile alerts detect loud noise as well as motion. New refrigerators are smartwired to dispense hot water and tell you when it’s time to buy milk. Even the toilet seat can be set to warm up 10 minutes before your wake-up alarm goes off. One of the simplest way to run your home more efficiently is by using certified Energy Star-rated appliances. These energy efficient products lower utility costs, makes your home more comfortable and helps stem climate change.
Another trick is to use motorized screens by phantomscreens.com that appear at the touch of a button and retract when not needed. Depending on the selected mesh type, the retractable screens -- which come in a variety of colors to match exterior or interior finishes -- also help reduce air conditioning costs. The screens come in a variety of colors to match exterior or interior finishes. Energy efficient light bulbs, dimmers, motion sensors and automatic daylight shut off sensors also help reduce a home’s carbon footprint. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs use far less energy than the old incandescent bulbs. In older homes, sealing air leaks and adding insulation improves energy efficiency and can make it feel more comfortable. Install insulation in the attic and basement, put weather stripping on doors and caulk around windows to save more than 10 percent on annual heating and cooling costs. According to air conditioning manufacturer rheem.com, the best air conditioning systems use minimal electricity. While an air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home cool enough, a system that’s too large will turn on and off, cycling too often and wasting energy. Air conditioning equipment is rated for efficiency using a SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit. Rooftop solar panels that provide electrical power for a home are an even bigger energy saver. Eventually, the panels pay for themselves, generating excess electricity that a homeowner can sell back to the electric company. An easy first step is to solarize the hot water heater, which can reduce hot water costs significantly. Solar pool heating systems raise water temperature 10 to 20 degrees and extend the swimming season without incurring additional energy costs. They use the pool’s existing pump and filter, circulating the pool water through solar panels, raising water temperature According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group, pool heating accounts for the largest number of solar installations in the nation , outpacing domestic hot water and solar electric systems. Fresh air and ventilation to a home are essential for health and well being. The “Fresh Air” skylight by veluxusa.com requires no wiring and opens and closes using a solar-powered battery. In case of rain, an integrated rain sensor closes the skylight. SE

Mercedes Benz B-Class Electric Drive
SUSTAINABLE DRIVING GOES LUXURY
Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Gas guzzlers begone. Urban mobility is being redefined and hybrid electric vehicles are raising the bar. Sustainable, emission free driving is in vogue and setting new standards for future mobility. To meet the demand for environmentally friendly high end automobiles, auto makers like Porsche, BMW and Mercedes have luxury hybrid and electric plug in cars. Among techies and others on the cutting edge, the all-electric Tesla Model S is a status symbol. At $135,925, the new futuristic-looking 2015 electric BMW i8 is a turbocharged, high performance modern and sustainable sports coupe with wide opening scissor doors, hi-tech exterior lighting and a radiator exhaust in the middle of the hood. It oozes sex appeal yet has the consumption and emissions footprint of a compact car. The attractive plug-in hybrid combines BMW eDrive technology and a BMW TwinPower Turbo 1.5 litre, 3-cylinder gas engine, resulting in an A+ driving experience. With 360 horsepower and 420 pounds per foot of torque, it can zip from zero to 60 in 4.3 seconds. Its electric motor and combustion engines are perfectly synchronized and its aerodynamic design boosts its efficiency. The result is a topnotch driving experience and with a BMW iWallbox wall-mounted home charging station a “full tank” every morning. It’s also getting easier to charge on the move at increasing numbers of public charging stations in urban areas to top off the battery.

And, unlike internal combustion engines with scores of moving parts that spark, pump, sputter and backfire, the Tesla motor’s only moving piece is the rotor. Even the climate control system is forward thinking.

The first luxury battery electric car from Mercedes-Benz, it has a range of more than 100 miles on a full charge. It can be easily charged at any standard outlet or from a heavy duty, 240 volt source. A full charge takes four hours while a 60-mile charge can take less than two. Using a smartphone and connective vehicle technology, the driver can check the current charge status of the lithium-ion battery or verify its current range on a map and find out where it can be recharged along the way.
