Energy Management and Audit Report 1) Introduction For over the past few years‚ the planet Earth is being damaged by human activities. Buildings play a major role in that. They contribute to approximately 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions globally. Over the past 30 years‚ 10% of the ice burgs have been melted due to the rising temperature of Earth. The rise in temperature is caused by greenhouse gas. Therefore‚ green building is important today. Green building has both positive and negative

Energy Conservation SCI/275 Energy conservation is so important. Why you ask? Because of the limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on Earth‚ it is important to conserve our current supply or to use renewable sources so that our natural resources will be available for future generations. Energy conservation is also important because consumption of nonrenewable sources impacts the environment. Specifically‚ our use of fossil fuels contributes to

Introduction The energy consumed in Spain every day‚ both for the industrial sector‚ as for domestic consumers comes from multiple forms of primary energy sources‚ from which we get electricity. It is important to consider where these primary energy sources come from‚ and the value year after year the degree of self-sufficiency that primary energy resources have in Spain. The energy sector accounts for about 2.5% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. However‚ this sector has a greater importance

Fuel and energy-Why are fuel and energy important? I chose this topic because I think; it plays an important role in our life. Without fuel and energy‚ I wouldn’t be able to arrive to school on time‚ because I need to come to school by car‚ which would not work if there is no fuel. I wouldn’t be able to use Air Conditioner‚ because it need electricity to works….and many more example. The point is without fuel and energy‚ most part of our life would be meaningless. So it is important for us‚ that

How can water generate Electricity? There are two primary methods for generating electricity from water. One method uses the energy potential of trapped water in dams in a more sophisticated version of the water wheel‚ and the other method of generating electricity is to capture energy from ocean waves. Electricity generated from water is entirely renewable‚ sinccete water is an abundant natural resource First method:When a dam is used to generate energy‚ tunnels are installed in the dam when

Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

Renewable Energy Renewable resources consist of any natural resource that can be replenished naturally. Meanwhile‚ petroleum takes millions of years to form and it difficult and expensive to extract. In 2012 the U.S. released 5‚290 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into our environment‚ hurting animals and the environment. And yet our country cannot see that petroleum is not the answer to how our country should run. America should run on renewable resources instead of petroleum. More money should

Energy is the ability to do work. It is important because every object we produce requires energy; for example transport‚ growth‚ and development. Humans and all other things get energy from the sun. Some forms of energy are kinetic‚ potential‚ thermal‚ chemical‚ electrical‚ and mechanical. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is the energy which results from a position or configuration. Thermal‚ or heat‚ energy is the energy a substance or system has related to its temperature

Alternative vs. Traditional Energy Sources The use of alternative energy sources versus the use of traditional energy sources has become one of the country’s‚ if not the world’s‚ most heated debate in recent years. For the purposes of this paper‚ the term “alternative energy” refers to any form of energy that is not derived from fossil fuels. Alternative energy sources like wind farms‚ solar cells‚ hydroelectric dams‚ biomass fuels‚ and nuclear power have been considered to be attainable sources
