ANALYSIS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY 2Executive SummaryThis project is an analysis of energy efficiency and its impacts to the environment.Through the analysis the project is going to highlight different sources of energy those that areenvironmental friendly and those that are not environmental friendly. It is further going to pointout the difference energy sources and the level of their consumption through use of homeappliances and commercial businesses, indicating those that consume a higher level of energyand vice versa. Through this analysis we are also going to look at different sources of energy thisincluding gas, coal, electricity and solar energy and identify their cost and environmentalimpacts. We are also going to analyze different organizations that advocate for renewable energysource as opposed to the other energy sources and see the measures that they have put in place toimplement as alternative. This project generally helps us to identify the best energy sourcessolutions that are eco-friendly and use less energy consumption. at the end of this project it willbe possible to understand different sources of energy and their impact and you will be able tochoose the best source of energy that is conducive both for human nature and environment.
ANALYSIS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY 3Analysis of Energy EfficiencyIntroductionPeople use energy every day for either cooking, transportation, heating and cooling,manufacturers, entertainment and many others. Almost every household in Australia uses energy,energy consumption vary from house hold to household. Energy is not only consumed in thehousehold but also in the industries, organizations, government institutions, schools and manyother places. It is through energy we are able to cook, use refrigerator, heaters, coolers, lightingamong other things. Energy use has really helped in for example in the households, in operatingdifferent machineries like the vacuum cleaners, iron box, laundry among others. It is because ofthe energy system that the machinery operates hence saving time. It is notably that differentinstitutions uses different amount of energy in their daily operations. The big institutions likecompanies or industries use the most amount of energy compared to household energyconsumption. The more energy consumed the more capital is paid and vice versa. There areseveral ways in which energy consumption can be reduced and also alternative remedies havebeen put in place for the purpose of reducing energy consumption (Tiwari, Mishra & RoyalSociety of Chemistry, 2012). Reduced energy consumption reduces the amount of carbondioxide gas emitted in the atmosphere hence reducing environmental pollution.For the purpose of writing a better analysis of energy efficiency, I am going to useobservation method for data collection in my home to carry out a survey on the level of energyconsumption. I am using my home as the point of data collection because of the highconsumption of energy and this after the data collection I will be able to identify whichappliances leads to high energy consumption and find a remedy or a solution to reduce the levelof energy consumption in my home.
ANALYSIS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY 4Energy use at homeThere are various uses of energy in or daily life at home, some of the common uses ofenergy include watching television, which is the most common thing especially when we arehome or the children are home, the television is always on. Laundry or washing clothes is alsoone of the daily activities that involve energy use on a daily basis, another daily energy use islighting and heating, at any point the lights must be on and the room must be kept at goodtemperatures. Others also include cooking, fridge and freezer, taking a shower, and flushing thetoilet. These are appliances in the home that consume energy on a daily basis; they are thehighest contributors of high energy consumptions in our homes and represents a basic need thatwe cannot do without at any point at home. Appliances and energy consumption After the survey and data collection it is identified that the most energy consumingappliances at home are room coolers and heaters and also water heaters. These two appliancesuses 47% and 14% energy use respectively. According to the data collected however much thereare other home appliances that come close like the washer and drier and lighting, the two stilltakes the lead in most energy consumption (Taylor, 2017). There are ways in which these twohome appliances can efficiently be used to reduce or cut the cost of energy they consume, thereare also alternative ways that can be used to replace these two home appliances for the purposeof reducing the consumption of energy and cost (Martín, 2016).Heating and cooling system efficient use Room coolers and heaters are rated the most energy consumer yet they are very importantthroughout all the four seasons. They help in heating the room during the cold seasons andcooling the room during the hot seasons therefore it is a necessity. However there are identified
