ASTOUNDING SOLAR ENERGY FACTS What is solar energy? People often think of solar energy as solar panels mounted on roofs in sunny neighborhoods. This is only part of solar energy (“Solar energy facts‚”2012). Solar energy is the oldest energy source. Plants‚ animal and the microbial life have been using it as a principle energy source since the times of creation. It is in the form of heat and light. In the past years‚ people have tapped solar energy enabling it to be used at all times; including

as the 1890s. Today‚ wind energy is very popular in the U.S.‚ Spain‚ Denmark‚ and India but is mostly used in Germany. Thanks to technological advances‚ wind energy is the fastest growing energy source in the world. Wind power is safe for the environment and does not produce any atmospheric emission or greenhouse gases. Since wind depends on the sun‚ it is a form of solar energy. As long as the

debate whether using renewable energy is beneficial to our environment or not. The biggest source of our energy has been sourced by coal‚ oil and natural gasses. Some researchers believe that there are many benefits of using renewable energy and that we should be concerned with seeking environmentally friendly alternatives instead. Not only are these sources harmful‚ they will eventually deplete our natural resources. The goal is to find pollution-free renewable energy that can offer a better future

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety

Garcia PTAC-1308 Energy Conservation It would be hard to imagine a life without the use of energy. So many of the products that we use on a daily basis are powered because of electricity‚ which in turn is generated because of energy. American’s use a mixture of different energy sources to cool and heat our homes‚ offices‚ and means of transportation. We also use energy sources to illuminate and power these same places. Oil has provided the United States with less than 50% of energy needs and supplies
