APES - 3rd Energy Source The sun-powered option, which includes photovoltaic solar panels, an inverter and batteries, can provide lots of electric power (especially if you get a lot of solar exposure where you live) for a long time, without any moving parts and a little maintenance. Gnerating electricity from residential-sized wind turbines is another option for off-grid energy. Knowing the average and wind speed ranges, you can estimate how much electricity a given system will produce. Whatever energy isn’t generated from the sun is produced by the wind turbine. WORK CITED Declassified Dish Washers A dishwasher that has earned the ENERGY STAR must be at least 41% more energy efficient than the current 2007 Federal standard. Choosing a new GE® ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher instead of a non-ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher saves an average of $120 over the life of the product. The GE Profile™ Series dishwasher holds up to 16 place settings at once, so it's possible to wash every dish in a single load. Energy source House Design Building green isn't just about efficiency and recycled materials. It's also walk ability. If you're close to stores and public transportation, you can drive less. If you put your bedrooms toward the East, they will get the morning sun and be cooler in the afternoon. So, we would think living rooms would be better if they were set towards the East. The house will be located in Colorado because it's availability of winds. The winds will be able to power our wind turbines. mad cute.. Sketches Appliances Today, GE manufactures hundreds of appliance models that carry the ENERGY STAR, making it easy for you to take advantage of any rebates, tax credits or sales tax exemptions on energy-efficient products that your state and local utilities may offer 5.

Insulation Perhaps no home insulation seals your house as completely and as thoroughly as the spray-on foam insulation known asIcynene, which is made from castor oil. When contractors spray the substance onto a wall or ceiling it has the thickness of paint. Once it hits the surface, Icynene expands nearly 100 times it volume. The puffy sponge cake-like substance creates a thick blanket of insulation that tightly seals air leaks. Not only does Icynene stop drafts, it also muffles noise. Lcynene has an R-value of R-3.6 per inch of thickness, which can reduce a home's energy bill by 30 to 50 percent PLANS / IDEAS Lighting The simplest fix you can make right now to your existing incandescent lights is to switch them to CFLs. However, there are plenty of other lighting technologies out there as well, the most promising of which for the future seems to be LEDs (Light-emitting Diodes). LEDs don’t heat up like incandescents, and they last longer and are more energy efficient than both traditional bulbs and CFLs. for the house Blueprints Front load washers The 2011 ENERGY STAR® qualified GE Front Load Clothes Washer will use 64% less water and 75% less energy than a 2004 standard GE Top Load Washer. Under typical operating conditions, this can yield a water savings of approximately 110,000 gallons and an energy savings of 4,900 kWh over the lifetime

Green House

Transcript: These complex buildings require naturalpower sources. Nowadays the nature provide us its energy from the sun, water, wind and fire.For each source exist one specific system, for the wind a windmill that transform the wind into electricity, for the sun there are solar panels that catch the light and transform it into energy, for the water a mill and for the fire exist an entire process that use the warm as energy but it can be used only with some devices. Botanic Garden THAKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!! ....HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE EXPOSITION! :D ADVANTAGES:The advantages of a sustainable house is that prevent the pollution of the environment. DISADVANTAGES: This complex houses are very expensive because of the materials that form their structures. Advantages & disadvantages What is a solar panel? What is a sustainable house? A sustainable house is a modern building that leverages the natural power sources and prevent the pollution and damages to our atmosphere. It is made up of natural materials such as PET,rocks between others. Our final conclussion is that a sustainable house is the best choice for you, if you want to help the environment. Without mentioning that when you promote his type of life style you are creating conscience in the people to protect the planet and all the living things. Irrigation system Power sources Some green houses are located near a river or lake, so you can take advantage of the water and create an irrigation system to feed your plants or garden. An irrigation system consist on a underground tunnelthat carry the water until the ground under your crops or green house. As the most common ecologic system to produce electricity it is essential to explain what is a solar panel. Well, a solar panel is a device that convert light into electricity. They are called "solar panels" because most of the time the most powerful source of light available is the sun. they are also known as "photovoltaics" which means light electricity. Conclussion Sustainable house A botanical garden is a well-tended area displaying a wide range of plants labelled with their botanical names. It main contain specific plats collections such as cacti and succulent plants. Ecologic house

Transcript: General House Info Why log homes are better? Wood has an R- value (resistance to heat) of about R-14. Logs act like "thermal batteries" store heat during day, release at night. Bathroom HEF toilets (high efficiency)- reduce water consumption by 20% and save up to 22,000 gallons of water a year Water-Conserving Showerheads- save 30% on water usage compared to fixtures with a flow rate of 2.5 gpm. Faucets with Low-Flow Aerators- save hundreds of gallons of water each month. reducing the rate of flow from you faucets without reducing their efficiency. Bedroom: bought from a company certified and constructed from plantation grown imported hardware ensured conatly renewed Alternative Energy Sources Why solar panels? The federal government offers substantial incentives for those looking to purchase an alternative energy system like a 30% credit off the total cost of any qualifying system for photovoltaic or water heating. , Why Solar? The first reason to go with solar power is that you take control of your utility bills. You pay upfront for the installation, but after that you have virtually free power from the sun for the life of the installation, at least 20 years. If you decide to install a conventional system with battery storage, you establish independence from power interruptions, Why Geothermal? Geothermal heat pump systems save money. Annual energy savings for homeowners can be reduced from 30 to 70% in heating mode and 20 to 50% in the cooling mode compared to conventional systems. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it provides three to four units of heating energy - an efficiency of 300% to 400%. Also... Energy in Oklahoma cost $.07 per kwh. They will buy it back for $.07!!! Ways were were energy efficient Solar Water Heater It uses the heat from the sun to warm the water inside the house, which reduces the amount of electricity you typically use with a traditional electric heater. The SolPak® Series by Rheem® is the company's first all-inclusive active solar water heating system. Nicknamed "solar in a box" it comes complete with a heat exchanger tank, collector panels, a controller, multi-speed pump, thermal expansion tank and other essential items. The 80-gallon unit retails for $3250 and is eligible for the 30% tax credit. For example, over the cost a 30-year mortgage you will be paying an average of $13 to $20 a month for a solar water heater. Think of the long-term benefits of having free hot water and the comfort of knowing that you and your family won't be as effected by fuel shortages and price increases Painting expensive but well worth the cost! -reduces indoor air pollution -non-allergenic -non-toxic -100% VOC free - odorless -organic Recycled glass: bathroom floor & walls 100% recycled clear glass, pebble like Paperstone: for countertop in bathroom & kitchen ($30 sq.ft.) made out of recycled paper Has steel-like strength in span, stone-like beauty and it can be worked like fine hardwoods Flooring Plyboo: Bamboo flooring is an alternative to hardwood flooring because it is strong and resilient, moisture and stain resistant and environmentally friendly. It typically cost 25% to 50% less than hardwood and many come with 10 to 25-year warranties. Tax credit for Energy Star Windows and Doors Homeowners may receive a tax credit equal to 10% of the product cost (installation may NOT be included) up to * $200 for eligible windows and skylights * $500 for eligible doors Green Windows Insulated glass (two panes of glass sandwich an airspace, which serves as an insulator) and Low E window glass (treated with a layer of invisible, microscopic silver coating to provide greater energy efficiency and increased comfort) are becoming more common in new construction. Windows: Gaulhofer: .77W/m2k means low energy loss, allows lots of light to transmimt through. Cabinets: TerraCabinets: Made out of bamboo. No PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). Low- or no- VOC finishes. Price could not be determined! Roofing: Eco-Shake shingles Cost undetermined but well worth any cost because made of 100% recycled materials, UV protected, no maintance, 50 year warranty. Solatubes: have mirrors inside of them that allow lighting to reflect into house/ closed space such as a closet. Green Lighting Use energy efficient lighting like compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL's) because they last approximately 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Did you know that simply replacing three frequently used incandescent bulbs with CFL's will save 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year and save $60 on electricity. Green Building Products Use products that are rapidly renewable and made from plants that grow to maturity quickly, like cork, bamboo, cotton, etc. Use natural products like stone, wood and marble that require little processing, which can create harmful toxins and chemicals. All our appliances are Energy Star Home appliances that earn the ENERGY STAR® exceed the efficiency of the federal appliance standards by 10 to 40 percent. The
