DISTRICT COOLING FOR BETTER SAVINGS

Experts in Qatar are already gunning for district cooling as against traditional air conditioning systems. This would save at least as much as forty percent of energy consumption, these experts claim. Mr. Kamal Taj who is the Head of Mechanical Engineering for KEO Consultants is making these claims which are simply not baseless.

According to him, the industrial equipment as used in district cooling like chillers, cooling towers and pumps operate more efficiently and very potently at the same time. They are just a much better option when compared with the traditional ACs. This, in the mean while, adds up to as much as energy savings of anywhere between 40%-60%.

District cooling is simply a centralized cooling system which has the cooling energy being produced and distributed through an underground insulated pipe line using chilled water. This would thus be directly supplied to offices, industrial and residential buildings and resulting in greater cooling of the indoor environment of these buildings.

Looking for AV cables? Clearly-AV offers you a huge range of AV cables along with other audio visual accessories.

Add to this, using thermal storage to the district cooling plants, will further reduce the energy consumption by about fifteen percent. The thermal storage sees storage of additional energy in the chilled water tanks when the energy demand is lower, say at night’s time.

None the less, apart from unmatched energy efficiency that it gives, one may also enjoy many other benefits of going for district cooling systems. These include, much reduced noise, lesser co2 emission, reduced maintenance, this would in the end be simply beneficial for one and all, the user, the building owners as well as the environment.

Looking for industrial cooling equipment experts? Then Cool Energy is the solution for all your industrial cooling needs. Cool Energy are experts in the rental, supply, design and servicing of industrial cooling systems and equipments & chiller systems.

PROPER INSULATION FOR AN ENERGY SAVING WARM HOUSE

The cases of house fires simply increase tenfold during the winter seasons of December, January and February. If this much isn’t just enough, than to add more to the woes, there is also a lot of power wasted in the due course of keeping the house warm during this season.

The attic of the house is not much frequented by people except for when the seasons change. They reach their attics and remove the cold weather equipment and place the warm weather stuff inside. But then attics can actually prove to be greatly money saving. Surprising as it sounds, the truth it is, none the less.

Potentially speaking, the greatest of electricity loss in the house is through the attic. Attic insulation doesn’t let the heat go out and thus helping keep the house warm on the inside. But the sad fact here is that a good sixty percent of the homes in the United States are actually un-insulated.

This means great amount of electricity lost in the due course of keeping the house warm. Even the normal household needs about 19 inches of fiberglass attic insulation to keep the house adequately warm, all the while, giving superior energy efficiency.

Both heating and cooling costs can thus be sufficiently cut down by people who can save as much as twenty percent on their bills monthly or yearly for that matter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency itself states this fact and approves of the efficiency as granted by a proper insulation being done.

HOUSES ON FIRE LITERALLY…….COURTESY HEATERS

There are an increasing number of house fires that have affected people and then again there has also been no shortage of deaths in this case. In fact most of the house fires are reported in the months of December, January and February
The little portable heaters seem to be turning out as the culprit number one here.

The National Fire Protection Association itself stated that most of the house fires occur because of the heating equipments. For not using their simple common sense and a little bit of alertness people end up burning their whole house down. 66,100 U.S. home fires, 480 civilian deaths, 1,660 civilian injuries, $1.1 billion in property damage reads an estimate account for the year 2008 itself and yes this was with the heating fires being the major cause.

About seventeen percent of the house fires are caused due to this, it is noted. Giving an Average between the year 2004 and 2008, space heaters, portable and stationary, have been behind thirty two percent of home heating fires and eighty two percent of home heating fire deaths. Simple and basic failure to clean their chimneys has also been one of the reasons as such.

Tulsa Fire Department officials stated that even Tulsa fire fatalities increased ten folds in the year 2009 itself. None the less most of the times, this could have been majorly avoided by taking simple precautions. Not placing inflammables near the heater to cite an example.

Before installing stationary space heating equipment, one would also do well to assign a thorough professional with the same task. One may also install smoke alarms in his house, regularly check their working condition and at the end of the day, even simple but life and money saving measures like turning off the heaters while leaving home could do wonders.

BRITISH GAS NOW ACQUIRES HEAT PUMP MANUFACTURER

British gas has recently acquired a manufacturer of Cool Planet Technologies for pound 500,000. The company has purchased assets in Cool planet and may thus have a number of energy customer looking forward to further cut down on their carbon footprints by going fro BG.

Cool Planet specializes in designing, selling and installing ground and air source heat pumps. These may be opted for by consumers on a commercial and direct-to-consumer basis.

The green revolution has already begun in the United Kingdom as companies are looking at cutting down on their carbons footprints as much as possible. Coal powered and nuclear powered energy plants are shutting down making way for cleaner wind powered plants and related technologies that are eco friendly as well as renewable.

In fact United Kingdom itself is looking at cutting down on its green house gas emissions by up to as much as eighty percent by the end of 2050.

They are actually planning for a shot term goal to be achieved by 2020. This would be of cutting down on their emissions by thirty four percent. The acquisition on part of BG is simply an ingenious one as they look at getting clean energy which would not just do savings as far as the bill is concerned but also save the environment in the long run.

Add to this the fact that it would be among the things to rely on in order to meet with the UK requirement to cut down on their carbon footprints drastically by 2050 as under the Climate Change Act 2008.

Looking for ground source and air source heat pumps UK? Look no further as Therma Rise brings to you these renewable energy options at a reasonable price. They have a wealth of knowledge in the pumping and renewable energy sectors.
