Energy is needed by the body to stay alive‚ grow‚ keep warm and move around. Energy is provided by food and drink. It comes from the fat‚ carbohydrate‚ protein and alcohol the diet contains. Energy requirements vary from one individual to the next‚ depending on factors such as age‚ sex‚ body composition and physical activity level. Energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at complete rest)‚ the thermic effect of food (TEF‚ the energy required

Renewable energy has been all the rage since the dangers of climate change were brought to light. However‚ one form of renewable energy‚ wind‚ comes with drawbacks. While turbines come with loud noise and impact on the landscape‚ the unprecedented efficiency and environmental benefits of wind energy outweigh the potential downsides. Wind energy has many advantages‚ the most substantial of these upsides is the efficiency of wind energy in converting fuel to electricity and the clean and renewable

Renewable Energy: Yes or No? Joanna Fain Eng. 122 English Composition II April 15th‚ 2013 Although fossil fuels provide an inexpensive form of energy‚ they have been shown to pollute ecosystems‚ endanger animals and humans‚ are not sustainable‚ and cannot provide nearly the amount of energy that can be obtained from renewable sources. Fossil fuels do provide an inexpensive form of energy‚ but in contrast‚ they also pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse gases‚ thus contributing

Solar Energy Topics Solar technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat‚ light‚ hot water‚ electricity‚ and even cooling‚ for homes‚ businesses‚ and industry. More basic information about solar is also available. Solar Technologies Photovoltaics (PV) Photovoltaic solar cells‚ which directly convert sunlight into electricity‚ are made of semiconducting materials. The simplest cells power watches and calculators and the like‚ while more complex systems can light houses and

Nour Aljafari @55471 WRI 102‚ 11 am Nuclear energy: the future power supplier Ever since humanity has existed‚ there has been an increasing demand for energy as a means of survival‚ from its usage for cooking and warmth‚ all the way to electricity generation for production and agricultural activities. Today‚ over 80% of energy consumption comes from fossil fuels‚ which include coal‚ oil and natural gas (Irvine‚ 2011). However‚ those fuels are not renewable and won’t last for more than a

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety
