Many of the renewable energy technologies have been around for years, and as time go by, are increasing in efficiency.
SOURCES OF ENERGY:
Energy is broadly classifies into two main groups: renewable and Non-renewable.
NUMBER OF WAYS TO REDUCE ENERGY WASTE: 1. Replace old light bulbs with new florescent bulbs. 2. Turn off the lights when not in use. Never leave electrical appliances on a standby. 3. Avoid using dryers in the washing machine since they consume huge amount of electricity when switched on. 4.

Put a layer of insulation around the water heater. 10. There are some powers saving equipment’s available which can be installed near the main point, which controls the excess supply being sent to the machine.

    The United States leaves a huge carbon footprint through energy use, this can be reduced by: building energy efficient homes, reducing motor vehicle use, and recycling more. Some energy related activities were the lowering energy costs in the home. People sometimes think this to be hard but here are some good steps to follow to make it seem it easier. Reset the water heater thermostat, people do not always realize that most water heaters heat water to a set temperature and then hold it there, meaning that throughout the day and night the water heater cycles on and off, just maintaining that already set temperature. If we were to go the water heater and lower the setting a few degrees it can often save half as much energy and the chances are turning down the temperature won’t even be noticeable to most members of the family. Another way to lower energy costs in the home is with a programmable thermostat for heating the home. Just like the water heater maintains a set temperature even when it is not being used a thermostat does the exact same thing for your entire home. When we are just letting it cool off (or warm up) when there is no one awake can save energy and money as well. By letting the house cool on its own and not turning up the thermostat this can save you money. This change will usually pay for itself in around three years. We also have attic and wall insulation where there is a difference between the indoor and outdoor temperate, the more energy this will take to maintain a temperature of comfort in our homes. By adding insulation between the indoors and the outdoors we are reducing the energy demand. This of course depends on where you live, because the savings from insulating your walls and attic could almost double the savings. This will pay back in 3 ½ years to 12 years…

    The third category is renewable energy. Renewable energy includes solar energy, wind power, hydroelectric power, geothermal, biomass, and biofuels. Solar energy comes from sun; wind power obviously comes from wind; hydroelectric power comes from water; geothermal energy comes from heat; biomass fuels come from wood, straw, waste created by animals and humans, and numerous byproducts. As it is, renewable energy can be replenished naturally, and therefore it seems better than fossil fuels and nuclear energy in this perspective. In 2014, all forms of renewable energy together accounted for 13 percent of U.S. primary energy consumption. It is estimated that the use of renewable energy will increase to 25 percent by 2025, 30 percent by 2035, and…

    4. Turn down your water heater thermostat. Thermostats are often set to 140 degrees F when 120 is usually fine. Each 10 degree reduction saves 600 pounds of CO2 per year for an electric water heater, or 440 pounds for a gas heater. If every household turned its water heater thermostat down 20 degrees, we could prevent more than 45 million tons of annual CO2 emissions - the same amount emitted by the entire nations of Kuwait or Libya.…

There are many more examples or ways that can cost you energy.By 2025, buildings are predicted to be the largest consumer of energy, more than transportation and the industrial sector combined. As much as 50% of the energy and water that flow into buildings today is wasted. In large urban areas like New York City, approximately 80% of the carbon footprint comes from buildings. The opportunities for savings are very real and go right to the bottom line by reducing energy and water usage as much as 40%.
