Definition of a Net-Zero Energy Home A Net-Zero Energy Home (NZEH) is “capable of producing‚ at minimum‚ an annual output of renewable energy that is equal to the total amount of its annual consumed/purchased energy from energy utilities” and emits zero net carbon (1). This concept is becoming increasingly popular as people are becoming more aware of the effects of buildings on the environment. However‚ to build a net-zero home‚ in-depth design considerations to minimize “the energy requirements for

From Fossil Fuels to Renewable Energy The gas pump. As of late‚ it has been the bane of drivers everywhere. With the prices of crude oil skyrocketing combined with the prices at the pump and nearly everywhere else‚ many people are looking toward renewable energy sources to supplement or replace the use of fossil fuels. This interest in renewable resources has generated new energy policies around the world‚ has spawned new energy technology and has produced ideas on a different way of

Despite availability of multiple orthogonal communication channels on common sensor network platforms‚ such as MicaZ motes‚ and despite multiple simulation-supported designs of multi-channel MAC protocols‚ most existing sensor networks use only one channel for communication‚ which is a source of bandwidth inefficiency. In this work‚ we design‚ implement‚ and experimentally evaluate a practical MAC protocol which utilizes multiple channels efficiently for WSNs. A control theory approach is used to dynamically

present‚ fossil fuels are readily accessible. These fuels are easy to use‚ and a simple combustion procedure turns them into energy for running a vehicle‚ generating electricity and/or heat. Fossil fuels are currently a cheap source of energy and so are the methods of producing energy from them. With our present distribution networks‚ we can get fossil fuels of all kinds around the world. That makes it easy to employ them‚ no matter where you are. Thus‚ there is a huge dependence of fossil fuels. That

Gas which is used for burning is produced from the fossil fuels‚ which at the moment are decreasing at a much faster rate than they are being produced. Cow Dung is a place below earth surface where all waste of animals and rubbish from city is stored. Together the waste of animals and rubbish produces a gas called bio-gas which can be used for burning. In this way‚ rubbish which is burnt & makes pollution can be made into a useful gas and our fossil fuels can be saved‚ making a better future for our
