What are some characteristics of eco friendly homes?

Eco friendly homes are generally designed to be environmentally friendly. Accordingly, they usually have energy efficient lighting, double glazed windows and other features which require reduced maintenance.


How does the energy of a power plant get to your home?

The energy from a power plant gets to your home by going on transmission lines and going through different substations and transformers so the voltage is reduced low enough so it is safe to go into your homes.


Why is insulation used to prevent conduction?

For houses, insulation is needed to keep the house warm in winter.


Which absorbs more energy light or dark?

Dark. Light colored material reflect sunlight. Some tropical cities require white roofs on homes and business and they have reduced cooling costs by 20%.


What features of a building that helps in energy conservation is related to heat transfer?

The first and foremost in all homes are windows. With the new Low E windows the amount of heat transfer is reduced. The windows keep the warm air inside with minimum transferance during cold months and refract the uv waves during the hot months. Newer items many people do not yet have in their homes are heat pumps and geothermal heating. Using water from below ground in a closed loop or open loop system the stored potential energy of the geothermal gradient is released through conduction and therfore transfers heat to the ambient air of ones home. The closed look system returns the resource to the ground to be either heated or cooled. The open loop system either dischrges the resource(water) or allocates the resource for other beneficial uses, i.e. drinking water or reservoir supply.


What is the form of energy that is used in homes and is produced by the movements of electron?

It is electricity, produced by the movement of electrons, that is a form of energy we use in homes.


Can the loadsheeding be reduced if each one of us acts on the number of ways you have counted to reduce energy loss?

Yes, you could possibly reduce load sheeding if you take time to cut back on energy loss. You can encourage your customers to cut back during peak demand times.


What do you use geothermal energy for?
