Lighting Compact Fluorescents or Long Fluorescents using plasma discharges use only 1/4 of the energy and heat of incandescent lights‚ which derive their light from heating filaments hot enough to emit visible light. If every home changed their five most used lights‚ they would save $60 per year in costs. This would also be equal to 21 power plants. The fluorescents also last up to 10 times as long. Replacing one bulb means 1‚000 pounds less CO2 emitted over the compact fluorescent’s

Energy Efficient Building Windows Energy efficient windows have multiple layers of glass. The reason for this is because the more layers of glass you have the better it insulates the house. Three or four layers of glass are one of the best because you have more airspace in between layers. A smaller airspace doesn’t insulate the building as well as a thicker airspace would. The thickest an airspace should be is 1 inch because any thicker than that will cause the glass of the window
