The Science is Clear
CO2 is being released into the atmosphere faster than at any time in the last 66 million years
Greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels are warming our planet and throwing natural systems out of balance. Hotter temperatures, stronger storms, and rising seas are threatening the health of our families and future generations.
Buildings, Energy & CO2
Buildings consume 40% of the nation’s total energy use
Buildings also account for nearly 75% of U.S. electricity use, resulting in annual national energy bills totaling more than $400 billion.
62%
of electricity used in buildings is generated from natural gas and coal-fired power plants
Decarbonizing the world economy "could become the greatest commercial opportunity of our time."
- Mark Carney, UN special envoy on climate action
Fourth Wave Energy accelerates the commercialization of zero energy technologies that deliver healthy, affordable, and carbon-free living.
Technology
Fourth Wave Energy delivers integrated energy-efficient design, high-performance components, and rigorous construction standards
Fossil fuel-free, healthy living is achieved by ensuring that buildings have a tight building envelope, dynamically monitor and control air flow and filtration, and harness all their power from the earth, air, and sun.
We deliver net zero energy results in retrofits and new construction.
Markets
Dirty fossil fuels have become so entrenched in powering our lives that the opportunity to transition society to clean renewable energy solutions is nearly endless
Residential: Only 0.01% of housing units in the U.S. are zero energy, but demand is growing. All new homes should be built to high energy efficiency energy standards, but the real opportunity to make a huge impact is to decarbonize existing homes.
Commercial & Industrial: While 62% of office buildings could achieve net-zero, only 1% of buildings are retrofit annually.
We are rolling out new and retrofit geo-solar powered homes and communities to address market potential
Enough solar energy reaches earth every hour to fill all the world’s energy needs for a full year...
Objective
Fourth Wave Energy has developed design and construction standards that will fundamentally change the way people live and work in harmony with the environment
