Sustainable use of energy- A case study on Energy Audit for Centre for Environmental Studies‚ Anna University (V. Vandhana Devi*) Abstract Climate Change & Global warming‚ ever increasing energy prices‚ acute energy shortage‚ forever widening and supply gap‚ hence energy efficiency and conservation measures have gained importance in the recent years. This paper involved an energy auditing with a view to enhance the existing energy efficiency level in the Centre for Environmental Studies

deeper and deeper and dig out some new ways of transforming energy‚ biological‚ chemical‚ solar‚ or even Hydraulic. Energy “the ability to do work” is a phenomenon which in different areas people have their own definitions of it‚ but generally in Physics‚ it’s described as “an Indirectly observed quantity that is often understood as the ability of a physical system to do work on other physical systems”‚ or we can say in our own words that “Energy is an indirect force which results a certain change

Which is the more viable energy source for Australia’s energy and needs‚ Wind or Solar? This is a common debatable topic within the Federal Government of Australia. Debating which specific form of energy should be invested heavily in‚ in hope that carbon emissions and the use of coal will be reduced in the future (Clean Line‚ 2013). It is believed that the dominance of coal will be challenged by renewable energy e.g. Wind and Solar. Renewable energy is fast‚ clean‚ affordable‚ efficient‚ reliable

Soil Erosion And Conservation SOIL EROSION AND CONSERVATION Erosion Erosion is the removal of soil particles by the motion of wind or water. Soil erosion is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture throughout the world. The fallowing contributes to soil erosion: Misuse of land‚ Mismanagement of arable land‚ Indiscriminate felling of trees‚ Overgrazing‚ Poor soil and water management Erosion causes or Results in a: Decline in soil fertility‚ Water supply‚

ENERGY EFFICIENCY: MISSIONS AND MEASURES INTRODUCTION Talking about the importance of energy efficiency measures in India‚ the first thing that comes to the mind is JNNURM mission‚ a joint initiative by the Ministry Of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation and the Ministry of Urban Development on behalf of the Government of India. But before going to the details of JNNURM mission it is important to first understand the importance and need of Energy Efficiency in the Indian context. The need

Energy conservation helps ensure available resources for future generations and also helps prevent pollution. Most of our current energy sources today are not renewable‚ which means that they will eventually deplete. As a member of the Home Owner’s Association I believe that it is extremely important for us to educate our community about the importance of energy conservation. Teaching the community that energy is not a right but a privilege will educate‚ empower‚ and make us aware of the importance

Conservation is the practice of protecting plants or animals‚ and their habitats. These plants and animals may be very close to extinction. North America experienced a big loss of megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene era (about 13 000 years ago). This started a program known as “Pleistocene re-wilding”. Re-wilding involves the reintroduction of extant species into areas where they became extinct in the past. This program aims to restore the evolutionary and ecological potential that North America

ROLE OF A TEACHER IN BUILDING CHARACTER OF A STUDENT IT IS NOT EVERYTHING THAT EXPERIENCE CAN TEACH US WE CANNOT LEARN ETIQUETTE AND MANNERS FROM EXPERIENCE BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE LIKE CLAY IN A POTTER’S HAND JUST AS A POTTER’S GIVES A DESIRED SHAPE TO THE CLAY IN HIS HANDS‚SO DO CHILDREN BECOME WHAT THEIR TEACHERS MAKE THEM. THEREFORE THERE IS NO DENYING IN THE FACT THAT THE ROLE OF A TEACHER IN A STUDENT’S LIFE IS VERY CRUCIAL RIGHT FROM THE TIME WHEN CHILD JOINS A DAY CARE CENTER TO THE STAGE

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential
