87% off electric heat bill: REALLY saving energy

ej — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:50:24 +0000

www.permies.com http I made this video to augment my article "REALLY Saving Energy with The Heat Bubble: how I cut 87% off of my electric heat by heating the person instead of the whole house". This is a DIY alternative form of energy conservation Camille Pearl comes over to my house and tests my energy saving theories for herself. We start off stripping off her clothes that are more than just a single, normal layer people might wear in a fully heated area. Then we have her stand in the cool area until she feels too cold, then move her to the desk with the micro personal heaters. It was in this video where Camille first refers to this as a "bubble." And now, that's what we call this technique: "a heat bubble". She starts off too cold, and then spends 30 minutes at the heated desk area. At the end of the 30 minutes she is fully warmed up and feels like she could work there indefinitely. We then turn off the micro heat and see how long she can hold out until she feels too cold to keep working. About three minutes and ten seconds. Quick summary of micro heaters: 40 watts: incandescent light bulb in a chick brooder configuration 25 watts: heated keyboard 15 watts: dog bed heater / heating pad 2.5 watts: heated mouse 82.5 watts total. A homemade approach to save the environment. Alternatives are sources for home production. This may be a big boost to renewable energy efforts.

AO Smith is taking energy efficiency to new heights with four new families of residential water heaters. Designed to provide homeowners with significant energy savings, these new products represent the latest advances in gas, gas hybrid, electric hybrid and solar thermal technology. The Voltex™ hybrid electric water heater features a new heat pump technology that makes it more than twice as efficient as a standard electric water heater. Voltex operates like an air conditioner in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the tank. The result is potentially a significant reduction in energy costs: 3 annually for a Voltex, compared to up to 5 for a conventional electric model. The Voltex is also eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of its total installed cost, up to a maximum of 00. Many state and local utilities also have significant rebates for this technology. As a result, depending upon the application, this water heater can pay for itself in less than three years. Voltex is the only type of electric water heater that is ENERGY STAR® rated.

Responding to President’s B.P. Spill Speech, Group Says “Pass the Open Fuel Standard Bill”

Responding to President's B.P. Spill Speech, Group Says "Pass the Open Fuel Standard Bill"

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 18, 2010

"Despite committing more than $ 50 billion for the development of alternative energy technology, America is no closer today to ending our dependence on oil than when President Obama came to office," charged Jack Halpern, President of Energy Alternatives for the 21st Century (EA-21). "We are disappointed that the President's latest approach is more talk on energy without a clear focus on the actions we really need to take to get off of oil. From his silence on the one measure in Congress that would make an immediate impact - S 835, the Open Fuel Standard bill -- it appears that the President has no intention of asserting the leadership we need on this issue. Talk on energy is cheap; but instead of just talk it's time for action and for focus on real solutions that will get results. Mr. President, it's time to pass the Open Fuel Standard bill, the one quick, cheap and reliable way to reduce our dependence on oil."

The full text of Mr. Halpern's remarks follows:

Many Congressional leaders have complained that the President's speech Tuesday night should have focused on immediate action to stop the Gulf oil spill, rather than on suggestions that we rely more on alternatives and less on oil. But even if you think that such a change in our energy use and in our national energy policy should be a priority, more Presidential rhetoric on the subject without clear focus on solutions that will work is the last thing we need.

Despite committing more than $ 50 billion in the last year for the development of alternative energy technology, America today is no closer to ending our dependence on oil than when President Obama came to office. The President's approach for getting us off of oil has failed for the same reason he has failed to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf: lack of clear focus and coordinated executive action. We are disappointed that the President's latest approach is more talk on energy without a clear focus on the specific actions we need to take to get off of oil.

Put simply, there is only one way to reduce U.S. oil consumption: reduce its use for gasoline and other transportation fuels. The reason that is the case is that practically none of the oil we use in the U.S. is consumed producing electricity, and, therefore, using renewables to generate electric power won't save more than a drop of oil. So, while the billions of dollars that the Obama Administration has set aside for solar, wind and geothermal power can produce electricity cleanly and address climate change, that approach can do virtually nothing to reduce our dependence on oil.

And, while other alternatives that address transportation directly such as electric cars, hydrogen fuel cells or compressed natural gas may have promise for the future, it will be decades before enough cars using these radical new automotive technologies are sold to make a significant difference in the amount of oil our nation consumes.

The bottom line is that there is only one quick, cheap and sure way to get us off of oil right now: using alternative liquid fuels to fuel millions of so-called "flexible fuel" cars - cars whose internal combustion engines are nearly identical to those powered by gasoline, but which incorporate a number of very small changes that enable them to run on both gasoline and on these alternative fuels.

There is ample proof that such an approach could be put in place quickly and that it could be effective. First of all, there already are an estimated 9 million of these flexible-fuel cars on the road in the U.S. today - each built at a cost of only $ 100 more than an ordinary car, and each capable of running on a mix of gasoline and alternative liquid fuels. U.S. auto manufacturers have admitted that they can produce millions more of these cars right now.

Second, every car sold in Brazil is manufactured with this capability -many of them built by American manufacturers - because the Brazilian government requires this feature. The result is that since February 2008 the volume of alternative fuels sold for cars in Brazil has surpassed that of gasoline. If Brazil can get results like these so can we. All that seems to be missing for the U.S. to do it is to put in place a law requiring the manufacture of flexible fuel cars.

To match what Brazil is doing and make an immediate impact on our nation's oil consumption we need Presidential leadership to put that policy in place. But, from his silence on S 835, the Open Fuel Standard bill - legislation that is now before Congress to put this measure in place - it appears that the President has no intention of asserting the leadership we need.

Presidential talk on energy is cheap; but instead of just talk it's time for action and for focus on real solutions that will get results. . Mr. President, it's time to pass the Open Fuel Standard bill, the one quick, cheap and reliable way to reduce our dependence on oil.

how to save on electric bill in an apartment?

Question by akanesan31: how to save on electric bill in an apartment?
I am moving into a 2 bedroom apartment where i have to pay water and electricity what are some ways to save on my electric or water bill.

Best answer:

Answer by Felly(:
If you aren't using something, let's say a lamp or a charger, take it out from the plug. Even though the object isn't using any power when it's off, the plug is still sucking electricity and $ $ $ .
&&&
As for water, don't use hot water for cleaning or showering, esp. for long periods of time. Use it only when you need to, and shut off the water when you aren't using it at the moment.

Good luck with your apartment and have a nice day!(:

Why would anyone say Solar PV isn’t cost effective when in CA you can lease for the current cost of your bill?

ej — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 03:43:21 +0000

Question by Peace Sustainability: Why would anyone say Solar PV isn't cost effective when in CA you can lease for the current cost of your bill?
Are people seriously misinformed about Solar PV and small residential wind turbines? Have you ever gotten any estimates? In 21 States the power company buys your power, and supplies you power at night. As your bill goes up you save. How is that not cost effective. Why do people cling to misinformation and refuse to accept renewable energy and toss off the yolk of Oil, step by step?

Question by Future Dietitian: How to save on electric bill?
My husband and I moved into a house that is all electric. Our old house had gas heat. So far, we HATE electric heat! It doesn't heat the house very well at all. The temp at night has been in the 40's and the heat seems to always run!

We have shut off the vents in the upstairs, because no one is ever up there. The heat is set on 65. What else can we do to save on our electric bill?

Best answer:

Answer by Julie
Have you had your heating system checked by a qualified technician?
Make sure all of your air ducts are sealed and no leaks, check the insulation in your attic.

Check around your house for air leaks, around windows, doors, etc. if there are leaks, caulk them. If there are leaks around or under doors, get the appropriate insulation tapes and put them on according to directions. Also the electrical outlets on outside walls leak air, you can get those insulation things at a home builders to put behind the plate on the wall switch.

Every little bit helps when living in such a cold climate, so turn off all lights when not in use, unplug appliances . This should help a little.

what are some energy efficient space heaters and do they save you alot on your electric bill?

Question by Mindfreak885: what are some energy efficient space heaters and do they save you alot on your electric bill?
im moving into a studio and someone told me i should get a space heater for it to save money. what are some energy efficient ones and do they really save that much? if you have experience, about how much did it save you a month

Best answer:

Answer by Light Knight
The cheapest way to save money on heating is to put on a sweater.
Sounds easy enough but many people wear shorts and drink iced tea with the heater on.
Keep an eye on your electrical bill. If using a space heater puts the electricity use up into a higher rate, then use the gas furnace if you have one, or get a kerosene heater. BTU per buck they tend to be cheaper to operate.

Some options I look for are: Instant off if tilted (safety feature especially handy if you have kids or pets), Thermostat (no need to get too hot), Automatic Timer (set it to warm the room just before you get up), and Humidifier (sometimes a little moisture makes the room feel warmer)
