On-line resources that have been developed by the United States Energy Department, home energy savers aim to help both consumers as well as the professionals in analyzing different aspects of use of home energies. Lawrence Berkeley National Library provided necessary platform for the development of the devices.

Do It Yourself Audit of Home Energy Uses 
Basic advantage of the resources developed is that it allows the consumers to conduct auditing of their home energy uses all by themselves. Best part of it is that the device also offers useful recommendations for the users that would help them reduce energy consumption in the house providing the cost benefit analysis and balance sheets of consumption and cost incurred thereby.

Estimates for Efficient Home 
Just by putting their Zip code, users of the device can get effective estimates for setting up best and energy efficient homes in their area. Factors that are taken into consideration in the estimate includes –

•  Heating and cooling of home;

•  Water heating in bathroom and elsewhere;

•  Most major and minor appliances using electricity; and

•  Lighting of the house.

More Detail Entails Better Results 
Best results are derived when the user enters more comprehensive data in the device. Some of them are as follows –

•  Insulation level at home;

•  Roofing and other parts effecting energy efficiency;

•  Age of all the major equipments in the house; and

•  Type and manner of different systems used.

Basing on such information, customized energy efficient methods and procedures are advised for the home owners.

Tailored Reports 
Tailored reports are developed in the process that would allow the consumers to include all types of costs relating to improvements as well as anticipated time of playback. They are able to project their savings on utility bills, and economize the energy uses. At the same time they are also able to assess just how much green house gas emission could be reduced making the home more energy efficient.

With all these facilities available it becomes easier for the consumer not only save energy but also use unique green products making their home eco-friendly and energy efficient. On the other hand replacement of default values using real time estimates and recalculating the play back times will help them save huge amount of money.

Home Energy Savers Helps Consumers and Professionals Alike

A study conducted by Ann Edminster used energy models of a single-family home to analyze how she could achieve the greatest impact on home energy efficiency at the most competitive cost. Ms. Edminster is a an architect and LEED Accredited Professional (AP). To determine how she could get the biggest bang for her buck, Ms. Edminster compared three possible energy efficiency improvements she could make to a home: the installation of high R-value replacement windows, improving overall insulation and installing a solar photovoltaic array. Based on this analysis she concluded that high R-value replacement windows generate the most cost-effective energy savings.

The Model

Ms. Edminster developed models for a suburban, detached, single-family home. She posed the question, "if I have a budget of ,000 to spend on retrofitting a home to improve energy performance, what gives the biggest bang for the buck?" To answer this question she studied the outcomes attached investments of ,000 into each of the following areas:

1. Increase overall efficiency: improve attic and under-floor insulation, carefully air-seal the enclosure, and exchange lighting and appliances to models that meet the ENERGY STAR requirements.

2. Replacement windows: replace all existing windows with R-5 windows.

3. Onsite solar power generation: install a 2-kW photovoltaic array on the roof

A 1,900 square-foot home located in the San Francisco Bay Area was used as the baseline home. In order to ensure conservative results, she chose this mild climate where the benefits of energy efficiency improvements may be less drastic. For example solar panels would produce less energy in a location with fewer hours of sun. Edminster included two baseline scenarios for window replacement, one with single-pane, R-a windows and the second with double-pane, R-2 windows.

Results

In both baseline scenarios one and two, the R-5 replacement windows yield the highest return on investment in terms of energy savings. In the baseline scenario with R-1 windows, the window replacement yields a 38.4% energy savings, and in the baseline scenario with R-2 windows, the window replacement yields 17.3% energy savings. Improving overall energy efficiency yielded between 12.4% and 15.8% savings, and solar panel installation generated between 12.1% and 16.2% savings.

Conclusion

Edminster summarizes her key findings saying that, "R-5-and-above windows represent a game-changing entry into the residential replacement window market and into the broader realm of energy efficiency retrofit options. While in the past, window replacement was not typically viewed as offering a good return on investment from an energy perspective (though often attractive for reasons of improved comfort), it should now be considered routinely for home energy retrofit projects."

Top 10 Tips For Making A Home Energy Efficient

As a homeowner you obviously want to prevent skyrocketing utility bills. Good news; you can invest in ways to improve your home's energy efficiency. But, before you go about making drastic changes to your home, you might consider an Energy Audit. Such an audit will provide an assessment of how much energy your homes uses and evaluate how you can make your home most efficient. From here, you can begin a plan of attack for making your home more energy wise.

A professional energy audit involves hiring a pro, who will complete an audit that could set you back 0-0. But, fear not. The investment that you make in the short-term, could mean slashing your heating bill by 40%! Likewise you won't need another audit for another 15-20 years.

Most likely the auditor will perform various tests that include: a thermographic scan which detects air leaks and moisture problems, a combustion safety test for your heating system, a blower door test to determine how airtight your home is, and also an insulation, appliance and lighting survey. Professional energy audits go into great detail. The energy auditor should do a thorough examination of past utility bills and a room-by-room examination of the residence.

In terms of finding an auditor for the job, you can check with your utility company. Some companies may even provide free audits. Your state energy office might also be able to help you find a local company that performs audits. Another place to look for a list of home energy raters in your area is to check out the web site, energystar.gov

There is also the option of a do-it-yourself energy audit. Start with is a list of places in your home where you feel a draft. Simply taking measures to cut these drafts, whether by door replacement or alternative methods, can save up to 30% a year.

Next, assess your home for indoor air leaks. These will typically be found at junctures of the walls and ceilings, near electrical outlets, near the edge of your flooring, by baseboards and around window and door frames. Simple caulking or weather stripping can help deal these leaks.

Inspect areas, on the outside of your house where different building materials meet. Look for cracks in the foundation or the siding. Caulk any holes in faucets, pipes or around electric outlets.

Lastly, check your furnace and replace the filter as needed.

If not just to reduce your utility costs, tax credits are another reason to make your home energy efficient. If you add insulation or replace windows you could be eligible for tax credits up to 0.

Whether you go with a professional energy audit, or a do-it-yourself project, the information you gather on your home's energy efficiency will be invaluable.

The Home Energy Audit: the First Step for an Energy Efficient Home

Doing a home energy audit is a smart way of keeping your energy use in check. This way you can keep track of the different appliances you use at home and how much energy these appliances use. A home energy audit, if done properly, can help you cut your monthly utility bills since doing so will make you conscious of your energy use at home.

Many people do not know that even if their appliances are turned off, these still consume energy when they are left plugged to an outlet because they create phantom loads. Also, remote controlled appliances that are placed on ready mode also consume a considerable amount of energy. There are also parts of the house that can contribute to high energy consumption such as attics and fireplaces.

Why Do You Need a Home Energy Audit?
Experts generally recommend a home energy audit because it maximizes the use of energy at home. Energy that is used efficiently can contribute to the reduction of utility bills and that would mean a lot of savings for most people. In many places the electrical company will perfomr an energy audit at no charge.
Homeowners who have large electric bills can benefit the most from a home energy audit because this way, you maximize the use of energy in your house. One way is to focus on areas like the attic, the ceilings and the fireplace.

What do you use your attic for? Most attics are used to store the things that we no longer use but still find important, thus we keep them. But did you know that if your attic does not have proper insulation and air circulation, the things that you have stored there will eventually turn to junk? Plus, attics that do not have proper air circulation will also destroy the roofing in the long run.

You also have to consider your home's ceiling, which must have proper insulation so that it can contain home energy. You must also make sure to check your fireplace. It is very difficult to regulate and control the temperature of a house that has a fireplace because of its design. A fireplace moves smoke out of the house, a process that is called propulsion of heat. The problem, however, is that even when the fireplace is not in use, propulsion still takes place. The best way to deal with this is to make sure that you keep the flue closed when the fireplace is not in use.

MrTrueBestFriend.com Home Energy Consumption 5 Ways to Cut Down Your Home Energy Consumption. 1. The thermostat control When you want your room to be super cool because you are sweating from the inside, you simple don't turn the thermostat super low. Remember this: the thermostat will not run as quickly as you want. It will run on the same level all throughout until it reaches the temperature you set. 2. Several small consumptions add up Your iPod charger, cellphone charger, and other chargers that are plugged 24/7 can cost you additional digits on your electric bill. This also goes to your night-lights that are switched on all day, all night. Also, your digital clocks and pots that are plugged since brought to the house consume high home energy. The computer monitor that is left on the whole day adds up to your electric bill. 3. The cool way You don't need a warm water to wash your clothes. Oh, you think that warm water kills germs on your clothes. Well, you don't need them. Settle for cold water. 4. Sealing the leaks Leaks can come from doors, sills, windows, cracks on the walls, and joints. Make sure that your doors are closed properly. If there are spaces, seal them. 5. Keep them small If you are dinning alone and would want to warm up left over straight from your fridge, do not use large pots or ovens. Small pots require less heat while microware has use lesser power than oven. Small burner instead of large burner is more ideal in preparing meals for two reason: one ...

Check Your Energy Usage: The Home Energy Audit

There are ways that you can keep your home more energy efficient. One way is to seal up any air leaks that you find around your home. Air leaks can make chilly drafts throughout your home and have you paying more on your energy bill each month. It is important to find these air leaks and seal them up to prevent cold drafts in your home. Your windows and doors are a great place to check for air leaks in your home. Another thing you can do is to keep your heating and cooling system operating well. Have your heating and cooling system checked and maintained properly each year in your home by a professional. During the year you should check and clean the filters in your system on a regular basis.

Installing a new thermostat in your home could help keep your home more energy efficient. If you have a programmable energy efficient thermostat installed in your home this could help to save money each year. You can adjust the thermostat to a temperature that will be energy efficient in your home. Some thermostats have an energy star label just for helping you choose the right thermostat that could help you to save the most money. Change the light bulbs in your home with light bulbs that are more energy efficient. These energy saving light bulbs have the same output as regular light bulbs but use a lot less energy. They can last up to ten times longer then regular light bulbs and are a smart choice when buying light bulbs for your home.

If you have old appliances, you should replace them with the more energy efficient models to save on your energy bill. Most appliances now days are more updated and energy efficient and will use less energy in your home. When looking for new appliances try and find them with the energy star label on them. These items have been tested to save you money and are energy efficient in your home. These are just a few of the ways that you can save on your energy bill and make your home more energy efficient.

Ways To Keep Your Home Energy Efficient

Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) currently operates two home energy conservation programs where the participant house owners may be reimbursed the total cost they incur while carrying out certain home energy improvements. One such improvement is the cavity wall insulation. Cavity walls provide a convenient structural design to support wall insulation material.

Cavity Walls

Cavity walls are external building walls which incorporate an air gap which may be within the wall structure itself (for e.g. Hollow block walls) or between two solid walls (or between two partitions having a narrow air gap separating them).The latter technique was widely used in houses constructed between 1932 to 1982.

Almost all houses constructed after 1982 adopted the cavity wall technique with or without the use of insulation.

Why do you need insulation in cavity wall?

The wall cavity maintains an air gap which is a good insulation. (In fact it is about the best available conveniently and almost all other manufactured insulation material incorporates air bubbles or spaces in order to gain this advantage).When the cavity width between the two walls exceed a certain critical dimension the air within the gap start moving about due to convection (convection currents) which start assisting heat transfer from the warmer to the colder side rather than blocking it.

Porous insulation fill will restrict the air movement within the cavity providing optimized insulation quality.

How to find out whether your house has cavity walls

All houses built during the last 25 years are almost certain to have cavity walls. It is possible these may be insulated too. Houses built during the 50 years prior to that are also likely to have cavity walls but may not have any insulation.

A sure giveaway sign is the brick pattern of the exterior wall. In general wall bricks are laid in 3 patterns. viz;

Stretcher bond Flemish bond

And,

English bond

Of these only the stretcher bond patterned brick walls will have a wall cavity. A stretcher bond patterned brick wall will have the bricks laid flat on side and in a linear manner i.e. bricks laid end to end.

Another tell tale sign is the width of the total wall. Due to the incorporated cavity the width is in excess of the normal 300 mm width you would expect it to have.

It is always better to get a skilled person with proper tools to give advice on these matters. Normally they drill holes in the wall and collect data to find out the details of the air gap, insulation material (if any), and the present condition of it.

Types of insulation for cavity walls

The commonly used materials are;

Fibreglass or mineral wool with short strands Cellulose loose fill or stabilized cellulose Phenolic and other Synthetic foam cavity board –(Used in new constructions only).

Cavity wall insulation if it is a retrofit in an existing house will not take more than 3 or 4 hours. Of course it has to be handled by a skilled person with specialized tools. They would drill holes in the existing external wall at regular intervals, insert a special nozzle and blow short strands of insulation material in to the wall cavity. If the house is being constructed anew phenolic foam rigid board or expanded polystyrene foam boards too may be used.

Cavity Wall Insulation and Home Energy Saving

Saving money is what every homeowner hopes to do when something goes wrong in their home. Educating yourself on ways to prevent problems is a great way to stop them before they happen. Instead of hiring a professional company, follow these do-it-yourself home assessments to help you and your home. These tips are also great ways to save energy.

When assessing your home, be sure to have your checklist on hand when you inspect and find problems. Creating a list will help you prioritize your energy efficiency upgrades.

Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Assessment

Insulation

Heat loss through the ceiling and walls in due largely to less than enough insulation levels. Older homes   normally do not have adequate enough insulation because of the time they were built.

Check to see if:

• The attic hatch is as heavily insulated as the attic
• The attic hatch is weather stripped and closes tightly
• Pipes, ductwork, and chimneys are sealed
• There is a vapor barrier under the attic insulation
• Attic vents are not blocked by insulation

Heating and Cooling Equipment

Recommendations:

• Filters and replace them as needed
• Change filters about once every month or two, especially during periods of high usage
• Hire a professional to check and clean your equipment once a year
• If your unit is more than 15 years old, consider replacing it with a newer, energy-efficient unit.

Air Leaks

Check to see if air is capable of flowing through these areas:

• Baseboards
• Weather stripping around doors
• Electrical outlets
• Attic hatches
• Window frames
• Switch plates
• Wall and window mounted air conditioners

Be sure to also look for gaps around pipes and wires, electrical outlets, foundation seals, and mail slots.  All caulking and weather stripping should be applied correctly, leaving no gaps or cracks, and in good condition.

Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Assessment

Though there are numerous things that can be done to make the house more energy efficient, it is important to know about the best solution among the available options.

First step in making your home energy efficient is to get a home audit done which helps you assess the energy needs of your home. This helps you find out how much energy your home uses and what steps should be taken to optimally use energy and improve the efficiency of your home. Care must be taken to implement the recommendations because audits alone cannot save energy; you also need to take energy saving measures.

Some may recommend that you do the home energy audit on your own as hiring a professional may be an expensive affair, especially for those with already tight budgets. However, you need to realize that an audit done by you cannot be as precise as the one done by a pro. Hence, it is advisable that you hire a professional who has substantial experience in performing home energy audits. Once you have made the decision to seek help, contact a professional home energy auditor. The auditor will check your utility bills, examine your property and energy usage as well as perform certain tests.

The standardized tests employed by most of the professionals comprise blower door test and thermographic scan. In the blower door test, professional installs a large fan into the frame of an exterior door of your home and turns it on. As a result, air blows from inside to outside that creates a lower air pressure within the house as compared to outside. Owing to the lower air pressure, the outside air is drawn into the house through the gaps and vents in the structure of your house. In the thermographic scan, the professional makes use a camera or other scanning devices to take pictures of your home on an infrared spectrum. These pictures make it easy for the auditor to identify areas that have gaps or vents from where your home is losing heat or letting in cold.

With all the requisite data in hand, auditor will be able to recommend a detailed plan to improve the energy efficiency of your home. This plan will vary from one home to another as the energy requirements and use of your home will be differ from that of your neighbor's house. However, most of the auditors recommend measures like improving insulation, upgrading appliances, as well as installing a programmable thermostat and weather stripping, among other steps.

Home energy audit along with the implementation of the recommended steps not only helps in making your home energy efficient but also saves money. On an average, 30% utility savings can be achieved on your pre-audit energy bills if adequate measures are taken to enhance the energy efficiency of your home. Hence, it is advisable to get a home energy audit done at the earliest and save energy as well as money.

Home Energy Audits

Having your own portable power generator fueled by fossils fuels such as oil is pretty expensive to maintain. Furthermore, you also have to deal with the mess as well as the smoke emitted when operating it. One way to solve this dilemma is by having portable solar panels.

Click Here For Home Energy Kit Best Deal Now!

Whether it is for your boat, camper or RV’s, these mounted solar panels could easily answer the electricity needs of your TV, laptop, and other electronic gadgetry. You would also not be bothered by the noise and pollution usually associated with fossil fuel-based power generators. The best feature with this system is its portability. With this technological innovation, you could do business while on the run. You won’t be hampered by lack of electricity which enables you to run things through your laptop and PDA.

You could have portable solar panels in two ways. One is by buying one that is already ready to be mounted or you could also opt to buy a kit which will teach how to build your own portable solar power system.

Looking for and getting one is also relatively easy. With just a few clicks of a mouse, you could already get quotes from several suppliers. It wouldn’t matter if you wanted something that you would have to install or one that you have to build for your self. The World Wide Web has many businesses offering both options.

Finally, the added bonus of acquiring portable solar panels for your electricity needs is that you are not contributing to the carbon emissions produce by fossil consumption. You are helping revive Mother Nature.

Home Energy Kit – Portable Solar Panels

The world prices of oil, coal, gas and other fossil fuels are rising fast. This would also mean higher electric bills since our local utilities use these fuels to power their power generators. With today’s failing economy, this gives us more reasons to switch to natural power sources such as wind and the sun. Contrary to popular belief, these sources could be affordable such as using discount solar panels.

Click Here For Home Energy Kit Best Deal Now!

The sun is a source of virtually limitless energy which you could convert to electricity. You only need to know how to harness this power. Unlike fossil fuels, you won’t have to worry with emissions which could further degrade the environment.

One way to be able to minimize costs when purchasing discount solar panels is to take an exhaustive search for possible suppliers. The internet would be a very good help on this as you could already look into many suppliers with just a click of a mouse.

You could also make the time of recouping your investment in a home solar power system faster by taking advantage of tax breaks, incentives and rebates. The government, both in the federal and state levels, offers these things to promote the use of renewable energy.

Finally, there are also financing companies who could offer you affordable financing plans to make purchasing discount solar panels easy in your budget. Investing in a home solar power system is a continuing undertaking. You have to add additional panels as your energy consumption increases. In the long run, you would not be able to save money on electric bills but also help Mother Nature.

Home energy generators are one of the rising stars in the power industry. This is because it is able to generate electricity for individual homes. Although solar panels and wind turbines could also do this, only these energy generators could do it at a minimal cost. This is because you don’t have to buy expensive equipments to make it work. You could easily build one using locally sourced materials from your local hardware store. You even don’t need an engineering degree to be able to follow the DIY guides written about it.

Home energy generators are also called magnetic generators. This is because it is powered by magnets. Using the magnetic force fields generated by magnets to produce electricity, you are able to produce power for your home no matter what the weather is. This is usually the problem being encountered when using solar panels or wind turbines.

This idea is actually not new. It was already discovered by scientists since the 1980s. However, it is only recently that they were able to build a device that could make it work for domestic use efficiently and inexpensively.

In these economic times, information such as these should be widely disseminated and practiced. All areas should not be spared when looking things where you could cut down your cost. Your electricity bills are one of them but you could only realize savings from it if you know how to build home energy generators for your own home.

Magni Work – How To Build Home Energy Generators

Many people are now trying to get on top of volatile energy prices by generating their own electricity. By doing so, they not only save money but are also safeguarded against power outages and dependence on the traditional grid system supply of electricity. Just how much money can be saved generating your own power? Many people have reported savings of up to 80% on their electricity bills each month. If you want to save more, just construct more wind generators.

Some also switch to non-traditional means of electricity supply to bring about a cleaner environment. Generating power through renewable energy sources like the sun and the wind is cleaner and cannot be depleted unlike generating electricity from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

But so far, the cost of generating electricity through solar and wind power has been too high for the average consumer. A basic installation of a solar panel or wind generator can set you back by about ,000.

However, these days there has been an increase in many DIY guides on how to build solar and wind generators that have hit the market. You can build your own wind generator for as low as 0. This has brought about an increase in the number of people turning to alternative energy generating methods.

Domestic wind generators are particularly popular. This is because a wind generator is not a very complex machine. All it takes is a little guidance and anyone with time and patience can do it.

If you choose to utilize the wind to generate your electricity, you first need to find out if your area is windy enough to work a wind generator. An average wind speed of 10 mph is generally taken as the minimum to make the effort of constructing a wind generator worth your while. You can find out about the average wind speed in your area by referring to a wind map. Try this one if you're living in the US:

Alternatively, you could just google the term, "average wind speed" and you will get some helpful charts.

Assuming you live in a conducive area for wind power generation, you should consider building your own wind generator. The basic components are:

1. Wind generator blades (you need 3)
2. A motor that can be used as a generator to generate electricity.
3. A body or frame to hold the motor and turn the blades into the direction of the wind.
4. A tower to mount the generator on to catch the highest wind speeds.
5. A battery (or batteries) to store the electricity generated.
6. An inverter to convert the DC to AC electricity and power your home appliances.

It is possible to buy these components or make some of them yourself and then assemble them. Using the DIY guides, you can make your own wind generator. Start by making a small unit with a blade size of not more than 3 feet in diameter and an appropriate sized battery. This can power one or two of your home appliances like your cooker, toaster or juice blender. When you have saved enough money off your electricity bill, you can upgrade your generator or build a new and more powerful one.
