QOTD How can we use energy more efficiently in our daily lives?
2
Technology and Energy Efficiency MR. DUNNUM
3
What is energy efficiency? Energy efficiency is the measure of the useful energy produced compared to the energy converted to low quality--- usually heat.
4
Technology and energy conservation Implementing new technology to do same work using less energy. Heating homes more efficiently Driving more efficient cars Lightning spaces more efficiently SAVES $$$, produces less pollution, reduces CO 2
5
Numbers Don’t Lie 84% of commercial electricity is wasted in U.S. 41% of energy is automatically wasted due to 2nd Law Of Thermodynamics 43% is wasted unnecessarily
6
Benefits
7
Real World examples Initial Cost plus the lifetime cost. Some energy efficient models may cost more up front, but save money in the long run
8
Net Energy Efficiency Measure of how much useful energy we get from energy resource after subtracting the energy wasted. How much energy you get out given ALL the wasted energy.
9
Comparing Efficiency
10
Energy Lost
