Home Energy Audits Why Eco-Conscious Homeowners Should Have Home Energy Audit
What is a Home Energy Audit?
Essentially, an energy audit on your home means going over it in detail, noting any areas of energy inefficiency. For example, you would look at your home’s insulation, windows, doors, lighting, and appliances. You’d also check your water heater, pipes, and heating and cooling system for signs of inefficiency and energy waste.

Would the orit of planets be a good example of the law of conservation of energy?
Law: Energy can not be created or destroyed, but only change from one form to another.
Example: When satellites are in orbit, and the perihelion (closest point to the sun), they have the most kenetic energy. This is because the satellite must have enough intertia so its motion is not dominanted by the gravitational pull of the sun, which would pull the object in if its inertia was not great enough. As the object moves away from the perihelion and towards the aphelion (furthest point from the sun), it slows down. The kenetic energy is not lost, though. Instead, this energy is changed into potential energy. The orbital velocity of a satellite is cyclic, so therefore, the satellite has the most potential energy at the aphelion because it will increase in speed, and therefore in kenetic energy, as it gets closer to the perihelion.
Thank you for reading this. I am trying to study for a test and I wanted to see if my thoughts were correct. Any additional details I missed or is it good?

What’s the color of an energy saving light bulb?
When you use one of those spiral energy-saving light bulbs (such as the GE Energy Smart CFL Light Bulb: 13 Watt ) what color is it when you turn it on? A more normal yellowish color or more whitish like fluorescent?

Energy Efficient Green Baking Tips
Energy Efficient Green baking tips Keep the door closed!
1. Don’t preheat too far ahead
It’s not a good idea to preheat your oven too far in advance. The oven is keeping itself hot for a long period of time without baking anything. So, if you preheat, turn the oven to the correct temperature no more than 10 minutes in advance. This is usually ample time for an oven to come to the right temperature. In fact, you don’t necessarily have to preheat at all. If you are baking bread, you can raise the dough in a cold oven and simply turn the oven to the right temperature when the dough has risen high enough.

Power Purchase Agreement PPA And Solar Rent Lease Strategies An Explanation
A Power Purchase Agreement or PPA can help you too move to alternative green energy sources too!
Solar Rent Leases
A solar rent lease involves renting solar equipment from a power/electricity provider. The provider actually owns the solar panels and overall solar power system, and is responsible for its maintenance. You pay a fee, or rent, for the use of the equipment. Generally, the solar power system is intended to augment, not replace, the electricity you purchase from your utility company. Hopefully, you will save so much on your power bill that it will offset the rent amount. Continue Reading Power Purchase Agreement PPA And Solar Rent Lease Strategies An Explanation Here
