Gas, Electric of burning wood!

What is the energy conservation Mission statements?
Be more like BRITE, the Navy's Energy mascot. BRITE brings awareness to another level. BRITE gets people involved in the everyday message on how to conserve energy at home and at work.
How are log homes energy efficient?
During cold temperatures, the wall (wood) of a log home will warm up when a house is heated and will radiate heat back into the home so the heat system doesn't have to work as hard. The same thing happens in the summer when cooling a log home. The logs absorb the cool temperature and radiate it back into the home, creating a very energy efficient structure.
Why use double glazing?
Double glazing helps improve energy efficiency in the home as it is has superior heat insulator properties to a single pane window. Double glazed windows usually carry the beenfit of being fitted with excellent anti-burglar locks which are recognised by insurance companies in the UK. The standard for double glazed windows is Pilkington K Glass which is manufactured in Italy. The benefits of double glazing are simple; double glazing saves you money, reduces your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint. Save money on energy bills by replacing all the single glazed windows in your home with energy efficient glazing. This could save you around £135 per year on your energy bills. Reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on the energy used to heat your home because less heat is escaping through your windows. You will generate less carbon dioxide (CO2) which is what leads to global warming. Be more comfortable in your home as energy efficient double glazing reduces heat loss through windows and means fewer draughts and cold spots. More peace and quiet because as well as keeping the heat in, energy efficient double glazed windows can insulate your home against unwanted outside noise. Reduce condensation beccause energy efficient double glazing reduces condensation build-up on the inside of windows. The costs and savings of double glazing will be different for each home and each window, depending on the size, material and installer. But on average fitting double glazing to your home can save around £135 a year on your heating bills, in addition to saving around 720kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide).
What are the advantages of adding heat-conservation features to a buliding?
The advantage of adding heat conservation features to a home is that it saves a lot of energy and money. The cost is reduced since the heat is conserved; this means that it lowers the energy bills in the building.
What are three types of energy that could be used to heat a home?
Gas, Electric of burning wood!
Why Is conservation necessary for solar energy?
Yes, Solar energy does need to be conserved and you can conserve it with little that you can use at home e.g. fill a clear container up with water then dig it up to heat under ground.

What is an example of energy conservation driving a car alone into the city at rush hour leaving lights on whenever you leave a room leaving your home uninsulated?
None are examples of energy conservation. Examples of energy conservation are: carpooling or taking public transportation to work, turning lights off when you leave a room, and insulating your home.
A sentence for heat?
I heat my home with a wood burning stove so my heating bill is minimal.
What is a chemical reaction that happens in home and gives heat?
For example burning of gas.
How do you heat your home using oil?
You typically heat your home using oil by burning it in a furnace. Like natural gas, it emits a large amount of heat which is then distributed throughout the home to provide warmth.
How does biomass energy form can be used in your home?
Wood burning in a fireplace would be an example of energy from a biomass.
How is energy transformed in your home?
Electrical energy is transformed into heat, microwaves, light
