The use of energy-saving building

This is crazy, but we know more about the car than the efficiency of our House. Think you know what kind of mileage of your car, but the call unless you are very geek, possibly did not know how to use their power at home compared to other homes in your community. You might ask, why should I care?

At the top of my head, there are three reasons for caution:

1. energy efficient home that will cost less.

2 it is really good for the planet.

3 energy efficiency more comfortable.

According to the latest statistics from the residential energy consumption survey (CER) is $ 1.03 per square foot average annual energy consumption for all residential structures in the United States. This is a 2,000 square foot costs an average of $ 2,060. per year or $ 170 per month. It is much bigger that necessary and possible energy consumption by 50% and reduce it further. 50% discount is only the energy saving potential of $ 1.030 per year. Instead of paying for the company, it is money you can use parking lot in savings or to other things. In any case, it is interesting that it saved a lot of money just by improving the energy efficiency of your home to be.

Architecture 2030, buildings are responsible for at the 2010 KBS CO2 emissions in the United States. The other two parts are the transportation industry by 33.4% and 19.9%. The building is the biggest cause, and that all must fight the three sectors, the CO2 emissions of the building will have a direct and significant impact. This is the grim facts. It is also one of the last on the fact the pants, because we can build better buildings and clear we need!

If buildings are built to improve energy efficiency advantage that is often overlooked is comfort. Not the comforts of a luxurious spa experience, but the comfort of thermal comfort, without long Johns kind of experience. Factors, improving the comfort and energy efficiency of better insulation, the losses are fewer and fewer thermal bridges. Additional attention in planning and development page, but certainly not rocket science is in a general sense how to and love, more than anything else, is to detail.

MPG rating is for the home, it will be a home energy rating systems, generally recognized rating system for energy use in homes in the United States. RESNET is the residential energy services network. A building with a score of 100 is the standard new home, the lower the better performance of HERS. The purpose of energy efficiency is a result of zero, which is the nullenergie home, which uses a lot of energy as a one-year program.

There are two ways to get to zero. both legitimate and have their place. For existing buildings, it is often more practical method of getting zero corresponding to energy consumption in one year with an equivalent value of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics or wind energy.

Another form of 0 (zero) is the energy consumption of the building before adding renewable energy sources to the limit. This is most easily done with new construction and building with the Score HIS 50 and under the building's energy is zero.

Low energy use buildings to help limit the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, comfortable living and saving money! We built in a way to take a little extra effort, but once you know how to build it right, again!
