Bauer family overhaul
Download as pptx, pdf0 likes277 views
The Bauer family uses too much energy and has high electricity bills. They use 5,500 kWh per year, resulting in a carbon footprint of 1.1 metric tons. This negatively impacts the environment through pollution and increased greenhouse gases. To address this problem, the document considers making the Bauer home more energy efficient through options like installing power strips, using CFL bulbs, sealing air leaks, and adding insulation. It evaluates the costs, energy savings, return on investment, maintenance requirements, and aesthetics of upgrading appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, and dishwashers to Energy Star models. All the appliance alternatives were found to meet the research criteria.

Bamboo biomass an overlooked energy resourceInternational Bamboo and Rattan Organisation
油
Bamboo is a promising source of biomass energy that is often overlooked. It grows rapidly, is renewable, and can be used to produce charcoal, briquettes, and electricity through gasification. Models show that managed bamboo forests can sequester carbon faster than other fast-growing species. Technologies exist for small-scale and commercial charcoal production from bamboo, as well as briquetting enterprises. Life cycle analyses indicate bamboo gasification systems have higher energy output and carbon closure than ethanol production. While initial costs are higher for biomass systems than diesel or solar, the production costs of electricity are lower, making biomass more economical. Promoting bamboo energy can provide income, energy access, land benefitsAsd20 Energy Education Nexus

Bauer family overhaul
- 1. Bauer Family Overhaul Whitney Bauer Energy and the Environment
- 2. Preliminary Problem Bauer family uses too much energy Expensive electricity bills Uses 5,500 kWh per year Carbon Footprint of 1.1 metric tons This affects the environment negatively: Pollution, Increased Greenhouse Gases, Global Warming, Acid Rain, Glacial Melting etc.
- 3. Background Who? . The Reypa family When? Summer 08 Technologies used: Power strips for all Phantom Loads and Computers CFLs Sealing and Insulation
- 4. Background Continued 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 Power Strip CFL Sealing Insulation Save d per year ($) Green house gases saved (lbs) Power saved (kWh)
- 5. Alternative to Problem Alternative Energy - an option, not plausible More Efficient Appliances Increased Insulation Alternative Light- CFL Power strips Behavioral Changes
- 6. Research Plan Criteria Cost- under $10,000 Efficiency- dollars saved per life cycle Return on Investment- by 5 years Reliability Maintenance Aesthetics
- 7. Present Results Current appliance vs. Energy Star Cost ($) Initial cost difference Efficiency($) Life cycle savings Return on Investment (yrs) Maintenance Aesthetics Washer $258 $223 4.7 unforeseeable pretty Dryer $231 $198 4.5 unforeseeable pretty Refrigerator $30 $101 2.8 low alright Dishwasher $12 $83 1.2 low alright CFL $3 $69 .03 none ok -Information remains unfound and irregular for power strips and insulation alternatives.
