Annie Said:Gas-Fired Boiler Efficiency? Which would you choose?We Answered:www.titanheater.com
less than $300Brett Said:I have a gas boiler from 1967. The energy assessment last year said that it had 77% efficiency.?We Answered:Insulation materials used in 1927 are next to zero in efficiency compared to present state of the art materials. If you spend the money to get 90% efficiency from a new unit, just think how much more efficiency you would realize if you had the insulation of the structure up-graded as well.
Would be an economic fact finding plus to see if up-grading the present structure's insulation would be cost...
Enrique Said:Need some advice about brick wall construction and energy efficiency re: a 1910 home...?We Answered:With a house as old as the one you are saying, I doubt there is any wood framing in the walls. You should actually look at that as a good thing if you did buy, as it would take away one aspect of potential decay in the structure. It is possible that the exterior brick is only a veneer. This is the term used if a wall system is used to cover the structure and made to look like the actual wall....

You can also install a ridgevent to release the heat and moisture that builds up. A ridgevent should cost between $7 and $8 a foot installed. And it will save you around 20% on heating and cooling costs.Helen Said:Is California on its way to becoming the first Environmental Dictatorship?We Answered:Its already illegal to...
Jesse Said:What are some ideas on cost effectiveness and reducing energy consumption in large establishments? ?We Answered:The biggest costs for large buildings is usually climate control. Many large buildings have windows that don't open. Remodleing to allow use of natural heat and cooling can save a lot of money. Not all windows should be the same. Awnings on south facing windows stops the summer heat but allows the lower winter sun to warm the rooms. Many offices leave computers and other machines on all night. All unneccessary equipment should be shut down and battery back ups should be shut off,...
Lawrence Said:Energy efficiency question for mobile home?We Answered:First place to insulate is always the roof, in any kind of building. Heat rises, so the ceiling and roof loses the most heat in heating season. Same for keeping it cooler in summer, when insulation in the roof will let less heat transfer through from sun on the roof. Whatever you do, use a decent amount of insulation if you use any at all. Check your local building codes for recommended R values for a ceiling but with insulation, it's hard to have too much in a roof.Dianne Said:What are the best...
Alvin Said:Is it possible to use standard window air conditioners in casement windows?We Answered:No. They have special air conditioners for sliding or casement windows. Hope this helps.Ivan Said:How can I make my old windows more energy efficient?We Answered:I too have some good old windows and didn't want to mess them up, here's what has worked very well for me for four seasons now.
The solution involves covering your window with a sheet of clear vinyl which can be gotten at most harware, fabric or even (gulp) Walmart in the fabric section, it comes in 57 inch wide and is...
Neil Said:What is the power consumption of a PC?We Answered:well generally speaking, about 350 watts
however, this can e controlled by the manufacuring tech- like 65 nanometers- the lower, the better energy efficent
intel new core cpu are based on 65 nm and they are planing on 45
AMD are offerimg both 65nm and 90 nm and says they well produce 45nm in2008
if you are running om pentium its probably 130 nm
from that propective new chips consume half the energy
of older ones for example, i have a pentium4 pc with 320watt
and a dedicated graphics card
while my macmini with integrated graphics is 110watt
graphics card...

Heidi Said:Can anyone explain what makes windows energy efficient?We Answered:Glass is a great transmitter of energy. That is why triple pain windows are better than single or double pain. Add an inert gas and they are even better. Still you need to cover them at night or in the hottest part of the day.Melanie Said:Which affordable TV technology has the highest Energy Efficient rating?We Answered:LED TV use about 40 % less Energy than LCD TV.
