The Warming World

• http://climate.nasa.gov/warmingworld/

• If you don’t consider global warming, and continue to waste energy, the effects will be disastrous…go green!

Eco-Friendly Design

• The low surface area to volume ratio makes heat/cold have less space to transmit through, giving you natural insulation.

• State-of-the-art windows with argon gas in them helps reflect most light.

• Cedar floors help to keep the house cool• Concrete walls keep the house a constant

temp.• PVC roofing reflects most light and keeps our

house cool

Eco Friendly tools

• Solar Panel utilizes suns energy

• Geothermal unit (It harnesses the earths energy)

• Window efficiency (Insulates and reflects light)

• Water based paint (High heat capacity, which makes home cooler)

Geothermal PumpGeothermal Pump•Geothermal Pump saves $581 on heating and cooling a month and cuts off 80% of heating/cooling bill• Geothermal cost $3000 and will pay for itself after 6 months

Circuit

Parallel Circuit-Energy is spread more abundantly throughout the home

The same voltage is more applicable to all circuit components connected in the parallel.

Conservation

• Recycling and conserving energy usage are ways to preserve the world we live in today. If we all are aware of the earth and its needs, it will stay beautiful for many years to come.
