What is an energy star appliance? an international standard for energy efficient consumer products. Devices carrying the Energy Star logo, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, buildings and other products, generally use 20%–30% less energy than required by federal standards. electric bill estimation-$350 Task 1- roof is made of shingles. exterior is made out of steel. [|Picture_3.png] [|Picture_4.png] Task 2- real gas and a electric bill-It varies anywhere from $250-$450. Refrigerator-kenmore washer-whirlpool dryer-whirpool stove-kenmore

Task 3- 1.)Washers-dont use the hot setting. 2.)Dryers-put in big loads so it doesn't waist as much energy 3.)Stoves-turn it off when your not using it. 4.)microwaves 5.)lightbulbs/electricity-use energy efficient light bulbs and turn lights off when your not in the room. 6.)showers-turn the water pressure down. 7.)insulate your house heavily so it doesn't waist as much heat. 8.)wind turbines-you can buy a wind turbine to power some of your house. 9.)carpool when possible to get to work or school. 10.)turn your car off when your not driving it.

Are all of the appliances energy star appliances? no For tax rebate you could receive $50-500 for every appliance. A cost for a wind turbine is anywhere from $6,000-15,000 installed. The wind turbine pays back for itself within 15 years giving back free electricity. There is more wind turbines in the northwest because it is so flat so there is more wind. Students can study Wind turbine technology at Iowa Lakes Community college. The program is a two-year Associate in Applied Science, Wind Energy and Turbine Technology program at Iowa Lakes. jobs- energy reduction specialist- is a project engineering company specialising in energy reduction projects, primarily involving utility plant. They identify and deliver energy saving s from conception through to completion and benefits realisation for blue chip clients in a number of sectors. Energy efficiency engineer-As an energy efficiency engineer you will play a leading role in the delivery of energy efficient services across a plethora of clients ranging from major corporates to public sector and smaller SME's.  Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. project manager- is a project engineering company specialising in energy reduction projects, primarily involving utility plant. They identify and deliver energy saving s from conception through to completion and benefits realisation for blue chip clients in a number of sectors. They are now recruiting for a Project Manager with a Mechanical bias. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more above ground, they can take advantage of faster and less turbulent wind. Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, or they can be connected to an electricity grid (shown here) for more widespread electricity distribution.
