This system is fueled by both renewable (electric) and nonrenewable (natural gas) energy. Without some energy saving protocols in place, it can be rather costly to operate this system. For example, the price charged per natural gas Therm is…

    We live in an old apartment that has base board heaters and single pane windows. The fall and winter heating bills were getting pretty high. So we decided to find ways to help us conserve on our heating bills and make it warm in our house without an extremely high bill. The first thing we did was ask friends if they have any ideas, and then we searched on the internet for other ways to conserve. We found consumerenergy.org and care2.com that helped us with some ideas. Next we looked on the Puget Sound Energy website to see if they had any energy tips that would help as well. After looking at all the tips we decided to put them in action. We sealed the windows so that there were no drafts and we put insulated curtains on the window too. The front door had a draft so the Consumer Energy website said to put a new seal on the door to control the draft. Then we set our thermostat at sixty eight degrees during the day and sixty three degrees at night. The next month our bill was down by six percent of the month before and the weather said it was colder outside.…

    The air around us is unhealthy. Over 90% of the populations breathe unhealthy air. The air is so toxic that it is most likely the cause of many health problems. The World Health Organization says there are about three million deaths per year. Most of these deaths were due to noncommunicable diseases were linked to outdoor air pollution. According to Rajasekhar Balasurbramanian, most people believe the air is clean due to the fact that we can not see the tiny particles in the air. The World History Organization say that more than eight in ten people in urban areas are breathing unhealthy air. The air quality will continue to decline. The unhealthy air did not have ozone in it. Natural, nonhuman such as dust storms also play a major roll in…

    Begin with an efficient water cooled variable speed chiller, add high efficiency air handlers, low-pressure drop components, and finish with an integrated control system that minimizes unnecessary dehumidification and simultaneous heating and cooling. • Benchmark existing facilities Use temperature resets to allow use of medium-temperature chilled water (55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher). Warmer chilled water improves chiller plant efficiency and eliminates the need for the chiller during many hours of operation (tower cooling). • Continuously monitor energy and environmental conditions • Document design intent…
