If you've seen the Energy Star labels on appliances and other objects, you may be wondering what it's all about. Energy Star is a joint project between the EPA and the Department of Energy. The purpose behind this project is to make everyday items more ecologically sound while also making it easier for you to save money through improved energy efficiency.
The appliances in your home add a substantial amount to your energy usage and costs. If you are using older appliances, you could be adding more than 20 percent to your utility expenses. The good news is that you can lower those expenses by choosing the best energy efficient appliances for your home.
The federal income tax credit for energy efficient window replacements has been raised recently. Purchases on windows could be reimbursed for 30% of their total expense up to $1,500 for every household, if you qualify. This latter figure represents a 50% increase over the same tax credit of two years ago.
In the battle to reduce energy poverty, the opportunities that satellite imaging data offers could be key to shining a light on wasteful inefficiencies. Andy Tunnicliffe speaks to E.ON to find out more about a project to use space-based technology to improve energy efficiency.
Nicknamed Cash for Caulkers, a program designed to jump-start home efficiency retrofits is backed by a coalition of companies, contractors, and advocacy groups. Read this blog post by Martin LaMonica on Green Tech.
The solar panels are nowadays used for the residential purpose as the electricity bills are emerging a lot to bring the affordable power for the remote areas where there is no electricity...
Concentrated solar power (CSP) with energy storage is an upcoming renewable technology that promises to provide cost-effective power generation with improved efficiency.
While the use of solar cells is become increasingly widespread, the silicon technology used in many types is becoming obsolete. JP Casey looks at concentrated solar power, micro-trackers and perovskite compounds as innovations that could potentially improve solar efficiency.
We studies dozens of companies during our four years of research. A few have not evolved in their thinking since the 1970s. They are still grousing about legislation and complying with it grudgingly. Others have begun to see the business opportunities in going "beyond compliance." A few have embarked on bold new initiatives to provide solutions to the world's environmental ills-like GE's plan to sell renewable energy, efficient power generation, water purification, and much more.
By making solar panels that are lighter, more flexible, partially transparent and organic, a team of researchers hope to make solar more energy efficient, and crucially more economical in production terms.
