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.
Documentaries are non-fiction films that are made to inform audiences about real people, places, events, and topics. They come in many subgenres, such as nature, history, science, and urban documentaries. Popular documentary creators like the BBC and Discovery Channel focus on specific types of documentaries - the BBC is known for nature documentaries while Discovery focuses on science. Iconic documentary filmmakers like David Attenborough and programs they've created, like Planet Earth, are considered some of the best examples of the genre.

The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and some of the opportunities and challenges with IoT. It notes that with IoT, any "thing" can be connected to the internet, enabling possibilities like smart cities and citizen health monitoring. However, issues around connectivity, data handling, new business models, sensor development and evolving technology still need to be addressed. The document also raises questions about who will have access to personal data collected through IoT devices and how privacy and security will be managed. It promotes Ireland's national IoT testbed and Enterprise Ireland's Innovation Voucher program to help companies address challenges and leverage IoT opportunities.
