Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred

assess personal energy use and speak about the forms of energy that I currently rely on and the sources they originate from. It also talks about renewable energy sources that would be most and least appropriate to use in a certain location. Then it refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the energy source that I currently use‚ also about renewable ones that have been identified. The last part of the paper addresses energy conservation and its impacts on the environment. Energy is embodied in

Energy crisis is a major challenge that should be overcome in modern times when people have embraced the use of electric devices in performing various activities. Consequently‚ the use of these electric devices leads to heavy consumption of electric power that calls for the adoption of energy efficient appliances. Energy efficiency refers to reduced use of energy in a given service (Dorsi & Krigger‚ 2008). The reduced consumption of energy is as a result of technological advancement as well as from

Solar Panels- They make electricity so you don’t have to buy it. You don’t have to use coal/oil/something else to create electricity‚ so it saves fossil fuels also. Tankless Hot Water Heater- Heating water is the 2nd highest energy use in the home. This device saves energy by eliminating the storage tank for hot water that has to be constantly heated. You only heat the water you use. Florescent Light Bulbs- These use less electricity than an incandescent bulb for the same amount of light

Energy Efficient Building Windows Energy efficient windows have multiple layers of glass. The reason for this is because the more layers of glass you have the better it insulates the house. Three or four layers of glass are one of the best because you have more airspace in between layers. A smaller airspace doesn’t insulate the building as well as a thicker airspace would. The thickest an airspace should be is 1 inch because any thicker than that will cause the glass of the window

Negative and Positive Ecological Impacts of Technology Introduction In today ’s society more people are working longer hours and utilizing more technology in their everyday life. As a result of these longer hours and increased use of technology‚ more energy is being consumed. (Hayden and Shandra 575) The impact that this is having on the environment is substantial in both negative and positive ways. It is hard to deny the benefits modern technology has produced for the world‚ in industry and in everyday

Shading: Shadow Angles When attempting to shade a window‚ the absolute azimuth and altitude of the Sun are not as important as the horizontal and vertical shadow angles relative to the window plane. These can be calculated for any time if the azimuth and altitude of the Sun are known. Horizontal Shadow Angle (HSA) This is the horizontal angle between the normal of the window pane or the wall surface and the current Sun azimuth. The normal to a surface is basically the direction that surface
