We live in a world where energy has never been so cheap and easy to use. This led us to him for solid waste, with results that are almost always clearer month by month. not as the true environmental costs are included in the price we pay, we sell this energy with a huge discount. The costs of global warming, resource depletion and acid rain are impossible to calculate how we simply do not know what will be the final impact.
General consensus,Global warming is one of the most dangerous instability into our ecosystem. So what is the relationship between global warming and how we use energy in our homes?
Global Warming
There are four major greenhouse gases that cause global warming): carbon dioxide (C02, methane (CH4), CFCs) and nitrous oxide, N20 (). Contribution dioxide warming (CFCs is about 50%, while contributions of methane, nitrous oxide and CFCsare about 18%, 14% and 6%. The surprisingly large percentage of gas which is based on the fact that methane is 25 times times more potent than C02 as a greenhouse gas up to 10,000 times and 150 nitrous oxide, CFCs, however, carbon dioxide is the most important especially for us because it is fully bonded with the carbon cycle and our use of fossil fuels. The amount of solar energy falls on Earth increases by about 25%, since theBeginning of life, carbon dioxide plays an important role in moderating the increase play thanks to its gradual absorption of plant forms, especially at sea. We are now in danger of destroying this delicate natural balance using the amount increasing in the atmosphere. The results could be disastrous.
During the energy crisis in 1970 was the occupation with our natural gas reserves in decline, oil and coal, the concern is now to reach the amount of C02 that the reductionAtmosphere, we may never be able to use our reserves of fossil fuels in its entirety!
What can we do to stop this trend? Our daily consumption in the Balkans "civilization" position of the response. The decisions we make for a kettle to boil a cup of tea, a bath, turn on the heating unit all contribute to the supermarket. We spend most of our time in our homes and much of the rest we spend our cars and transport systems or working in factories andOffices, often in order to acquire more goods and consume more energy.
Estimated emissions of C02 by end use (UK)
The families of 28%
Industry 26%
Services sector, 14%
Road transport 24%
Other transport equipment 7%
Agriculture 1%
This is interesting because it produces much more than a quarter of C02, which directly or indirectly caused by the use (and abuse) of energy in our homes. It 'clear that the way we consume energy is extremely inefficient. If allMeasures were implemented, the amount of C02 produced was reduced by 75%. If we change our lifestyle and use of renewable energy, we could reduce this even more, perhaps as low as 5% of our emissions of C02 original.
The house as energy
And 'useful to think of home as a total system when it comes to energy, as is behaving. First, we can complete the level and form of energy that will be home. Then you can see, the possibilities of this energyused, and finally see how the heat is lost out: The important point to note is that savings can be made of CO, Emissions in every phase of the system. This can be done by:
o The choice of energy sources that emit the lowest C02
or identify the most efficient way, or use of energy in our heating, lighting and appliances
or maintain the warmth of our homes by a draft-proofing, ventilation control, and above allIsolation
Improving the energy efficiency of our homes is more controversial. It 's just a question of resources for the task can be addressed and how far you go with each measure. This is a case in which the investment pays for all!
