is about effective ways to conserve energy‚ how it effects the world and how it effects our lives. Wasting less energy is the quickest‚ least expensive way to stem carbon emissions. Energy conservation is the important part of energy policies. Energy conservation is an important part of energy policies. To some people‚ “energy efficiency” means less comfort. The concept of efficiency means that people get the same service using less energy. The fastest way to reduce carbon emissions

A green industry is build on efficiency as it may work on the basis of efficient use of energy‚ reducing pollution and use of renewable sources of energy . This is aimed at reducing the emission of dangerous gases and in the long run ensuring a clean environment. This way‚ it would be beneficial for both ways as green industry would help to fight global warming and it

Law of Conservation of Energy said that Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another‚ but the total amount of energy never changes. By winding the spring on your mousetrap car‚ you store energy in the spring as potential energy. This stored potential energy will convert energy into kinetic energy as the mouse-trap car begins to move. But there is friction and in order to overcome friction you have to do more work. Friction converts energy into heat and sound

global climate warming‚ more and more people focus on building energy efficiency. There is more awareness that CO2 produced by building energy use is the main source of climate warming. Energy-saving buildings become inevitable trend of development‚ the green building also arises in time. Green building can be define as to the construction of the whole life cycle‚ for maximize resource conservation (epa.gov‚ 19/12/2012). It includes energy saving‚ land saving‚ water saving‚ and materials saving‚ to

Conserve Energy to Save Water – Newsha Ajami This article explores the facts surrounding water consumption tied to everyday activities and how by reducing the energy footprint can help to reach sustainable water-energy equilibrium for future demands. The argument uses statistic and facts that can be easily understood by the average water and energy consumer. Ajami uses relatable examples coupled with facts to present a convincing argument for water and energy conservation. Abigail

Thermodynamics Energy is encountered in many forms‚ such as mechanical‚ chemical (food and fuel)‚ electrical‚ nuclear‚ heat‚ and radiant (light). Energy has the ability to bring about change or to do work. Thermodynamics is the study of energy. The field of thermodynamics studies the behavior of energy flow in natural systems. These studies have rendered two laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the law of conservation of energy. This law suggests that energy can be transferred
