Insulated Fabric Pocket Panels were designed to provide safe, economical, portable energy saving insulation for the interior living spaces of un-insulated or under insulated structures. The embodiments inserted into the fabric pocket panel include the following but not limited to either one layer of double bubble reflective foil insulation (15), an insulation bundle (25) or foil radiant barrier (28) inserted inside the pocket.

The insulated fabric pocket panels insulate against heat and cold transfer through perimeter interior surfaces from outside weather. Heat and cold are reflected out of the interior of the structure to the outside environment. The reflective foil on the interior side of the panel reflects heated furnace air or cooled air conditioning air away from interior surfaces back into the interior or center of the rooms. Furnaces or air conditioners do have to heat or cool the interior finished wall surfaces. Only the air is heated or cooled. This process uses less energy, saves money, and protects the environment.

Due to climate change, rising oil prices, stagnated wages and an increase in low-wage earners, environmental experts have said that within the next ten to fifteen years 30% of all Americans will not be able to heat or cool their residences.

These panels are essential to middle class families, the elderly and disabled on fixed incomes, and poverty stricken families because they reduce energy use, save money and help protect the environment.

Terpenes are valuable commercial products used in a diverse number of industries. Terpenes may be produced from petrochemical sources and from terpene feed-stocks, such as turpentine. However, these production methods are expensive, unsustainable and often cause environmental problems including contributing to climate change. Microbial fermentation provides an alternative option for the production of terpenes. One or more terpenes and/or precursors can be produced by microbial fermentation of a substrate comprising CO. Recombinant microorganisms may be used in such methods. Carboxydotrophic, acetogenic, recombinant microorganisms can be used in such methods.
