The Money-Saving Survival Guide: Becoming Energy Efficient
Tips, tricks, and tools for the average homeowner who wants to be energy efficient, save money, and live in a healthy home.
Home energy information
Consumers in North America are preparing for higher energy bills this winter season due to recent spikes in costs for heating oil, electricity, natural gas, and gasoline. Energy conservation starts with home design and construction and requires making energy-efficient habits part of everyday life. Homeowners can reduce their heating bills by 50% or more through proper insulation, windows, doors, and following energy-saving techniques on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. Taking a systems approach to managing energy use ensures maximizing savings through balancing energy intake, losses, and using solar heating effectively depending on climate.

An energy auditor can identify areas for improvement and provide cost-effective retrofits. Simple habits like unplugging devices and using cold water for laundry can also improve efficiency without costs. The document emphasizes the environmental and financial benefits of properly disposing an old refrigerator.
Inquiry-Time For a change
This document discusses ecological buildings and materials. It poses questions about sustainable building materials, environmentally friendly power sources, and the best and cheapest eco-friendly materials. Some examples of sustainable materials mentioned are double glazing, polystyrene, skylights, earthwalls, concrete and bamboo. Environmentally friendly power sources include wind power, hydropower and solar power. Double glazing, polystyrene and heat pumps are identified as some of the best materials for insulation and heating. The main question is how buildings can be changed to be better for the environment.
Utility Cost Savings Presentation
This document discusses ways to reduce utility costs in the home by making climate control, water heating and power systems more efficient through insulation, windows, and conservation. It also explores using renewable resources like solar and wind to provide energy and save on costs. The conclusion recommends investing in newer appliances, technologies, and renewable sources to further cut utility bills.
Sustainability in building design and construction
Sustainability is a very subjective term and very vast that can be related to many dimensions, like physical, social, economical, welfare and many more dimensions. We generally use it very small to very large contexts. However, when it comes to the development of the building , it is not a very small term and simple consideration as a small deviation from the perfection could impact the environment potentially. Statistics say, over 45% of the carbon emissions in UK are caused from built environments. Not only that, 73% of the domestic emissions in UK are because of the space heating along with the hot water provision. Building construction and demolition cause over 32% of the carbon emission, in the form of landfill waste.

This document discusses the development of a new building component that meets certain criteria. It began by identifying keywords for the component including resistance, energy saving, modularity, fast building, recovery, adaptability, insulation, flexibility and low cost. Various needs were then explored as potential focuses for the component, such as energy needs, recovering old buildings, lighting, housing needs. Existing technologies were considered for integration, such as piezoelectric floors and mini hydropower. Existing research, patents and optimized designs were also reviewed, such as bifacial photovoltaic panels integrated into a modular, affordable and flexible curtain wall or ventilated facade.
What goes around, comes around
Individual and companies are not totally aware of the meaning of energy conservation. The energy consumption reaches alarming levels in some states, and billions of devices sitting idle in “standby” mode waste vast amounts of energy. Measures need to be made around the world to reduce this unnecessary power consumption, and unplugging these devices can be a start. But a more efficient method for reducing power consumption is installing software programs to monitor and totally control the energy use.
Residential Energy Audits
Applied Energy Saving Solutions conducts residential energy audits to assess the efficiency of home appliances and educate homeowners. The audits identify appliances that are not energy efficient and recommend modifications, upgrades, or replacements. The company performs calculations to show homeowners how much money and carbon emissions they will save through the recommended changes and how long it will take to recoup costs from savings.
Prioritizing Home Energy Efficiency Improvements
This presentation discusses prioritizing home energy efficiency improvements from the most cost-effective to more expensive measures with longer payback periods. It begins by listing free measures homeowners can take, such as turning off lights and adjusting thermostats. Next, it outlines simple and inexpensive solutions like installing efficient showerheads and lightbulbs. The presentation then covers more serious measures with 1-3 year paybacks, such as weatherization and duct sealing. The final sections discuss expensive upgrades with 3-15 year paybacks like attic insulation and whole home retrofits.
The Future of Air Conditioning & its Impact on the Planet
Air conditioning places a significant burden on energy systems and greenhouse gas emissions from air conditioners are projected to accelerate dramatically by 2050 as the number increases from 900 million to over 2.5 billion units worldwide. Improving the average efficiency of air conditioners globally by 30% by 2030 could reduce emissions by 25 billion metric tons of CO2 and reduce peak electricity demand significantly. While air conditioning provides health and productivity benefits, it is also a major contributor to global warming through greenhouse gas emissions. Regulations and development of more environmentally friendly cooling technologies must continue to address this challenge.

The Lenawee County Human Services Building underwent an energy efficiency retrofitting project in 2010 to reduce operation costs. Honeywell International was the contractor. The $3.7 million project involved replacing lighting and HVAC systems, installing an energy management system, and improving the building envelope. It is expected to save over 35% in energy consumption and over 30% in costs annually.
Out of Hours: The Easiest Way to Improve Building Energy Efficiency
This document discusses how reducing energy use in buildings during the 72% of time they are typically unoccupied can be one of the easiest and most impactful ways to improve energy efficiency. It notes that on average, 55% of total electricity usage in commercial buildings occurs when they are empty. The document examines the costs of this wasted energy use and identifies common energy vampires like electronics and appliances that are left on. It provides recommendations for analyzing usage data, engaging occupants, and implementing simple solutions to curb out-of-hours consumption.

Module 1 Introduction To Flight
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in flight, including:
- Definitions of important aerospace terms like aerodynamics, aeronautics, airfoil, and thrust.
- A brief history of human flight attempts from Daedalus and Icarus in Greek myth to the first hot air balloon flight by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783.
- Explanations of principles like Bernoulli's principle of fluid dynamics and Newton's three laws of motion as they apply to the forces that allow for flight.
- Descriptions of key flight concepts such as the relative wind, the four forces of flight, and the three axes of an airplane.
ABC's
This document contains short summaries of various topics ranging from music bands like AC/DC, foods like barbecue ribs and corn, hobbies like flying and playing video games, TV shows like The Simpsons and The X-Files, and activities like water boarding. Each summary briefly describes the topic and may include the author's personal opinions or experiences related to that topic.
Pesticides
Pesticides provide several benefits such as controlling pests that damage food crops and structures, preventing disease outbreaks, and enhancing human health. They must be registered and regulated by the EPA to prevent unreasonable environmental and health impacts. Certain pesticides are restricted for use only by certified applicators due to their risks. The solubility and half-life of pesticides determine their likelihood of contaminating water or soil - lower solubility and shorter half-life are preferable. Pesticide formulations also impact drift, effects on wildlife, and costs.
Battles
The Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775 saw the first shots fired between British and colonial forces, marking the unofficial start of the American Revolutionary War. British troops confronted Minutemen led by Captain John Parker and after being ordered to disperse, shots were fired, including the famous "shot heard round the world". Key figures included Paul Revere, who warned of the British advance, as well as General Thomas Gage and Captain Parker. The battle resulted in casualties of over 200 British soldiers and 273 colonial forces.
Water Technology Slideshow
Water scarcity is a major global issue that is often underestimated. As the world's population has tripled over the last century, so too has the demand for water. Without access to clean water, many people will become dehydrated and ill, and civilization itself will be impacted by a lack of drinking water. Potential water conflicts are likely to increase in parts of Africa where water resources are shared between countries. Conservation methods like rainwater collection and reducing lawn watering can help alleviate water scarcity issues.
