What is the potential energy savings for each degree you lower an indoor pools water temperature?

"Every 1 degree reduction can cut your energy usage by between 5 and 10 percent. Once you have lowered the thermostat, keep the remaining heat from escaping by using a pool
cover when the pool is not in use." This is according to a NREL publication: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy00osti/28038.pdf. Note: It doesn't specify between an indoor and an outdoor pool, but it does have lots of other good energy saving tips.

What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
Is temperature potential energy?
No.No.No.No.
Is heat energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
To maintain your body temperature your converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy true or false?
It is true that to maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
True or false To maintain your body temperature your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy?
It is true that to maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
Is temperature a measure of the average potential energy of each particle within an object?
It would not be the potential energy because potential is the measure of energy that is not in motion yet. When you measure the temperature and it reads 200 degrees YOU WILL FEEL IT because the objects molecules are in motion. If you measured its potential energy at this point of 200 degrees it would probably be close to zero if not zero. When you measure the temperature you are measuring the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the measure of how much energy the molecules have that are in motion.
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
Does potential energy increase when temperature increase?
It would depend. Within a system there can be isolated factors influencing different kinetic and potential energies. If the kinetic energy was increased (Let's say gravity), and a random object is pushed off of a table (Now potential energy), the potential energy would in fact be increased. This increase in energy is proportional in the potential and kinetic stages. If the temperature were increased and a "reaction" occurred the potential energy would go up.
How does temperature determine potential energy?
It doesn't. It just effects it.
Is temperature the total gravitational potential energy of an element?
yes
What is a similarity between heat and temperature?
Potential energy and height: Energy=weight x height. Heat energy=thermal capacity x temperature.
What is the temperature that no more energy can be moving?
This is called the absolute zero degree of temperature Kelvin.
