The plan can be used by other universities or businesses as well as private residences. The plan may discuss policies already implemented, but will hopefully provide ways to increase overall efficiency. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6d57b20ee503bcd604b3f/t/5ee2bf5216addd387d8ca8e9/1591918951680/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Scholastic Projects - Small Steps for Big Changes - Introduction This report is designed to help universities, businesses and private citizens conserve energy, manage costs and other resources. The report will discuss old, archaic methods still in use today. It will discuss why these methods ought to be changed. Current available options will be presented as ways to change old habits. The merits of all available options will be presented. Many of these changes have an initial, upfront cost to them, but savings can be had with small changes in the long run. No matter which side of the political spectrum you belong to, all sides can agree saving money is a good thing. Regardless of your views on climate change, positives and/or negatives of renewable energy sources, these methods will save money over time. All sides can surely agree that is a good thing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6d57b20ee503bcd604b3f/t/5ee2c20c1d93734b67707dce/1591919164513/Bulb+info.jpg Scholastic Projects - Small Steps for Big Changes Here is a quick reference picture comparing the types of bulbs and their overall cost. The graphic is meant for residential users, but the saving would obviously scale up for users of larger facilities such as universities and businesses. The graphic was available in multiple sources, notably the City of Pasadena’s website suggesting they are already implementing LED bulbs in their energy saving policies. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6d57b20ee503bcd604b3f/t/5ee2c2d9073d816ef7dc6c06/1591919409525/Windmills.jpg Scholastic Projects - Small Steps for Big Changes - Wind Turbines Wind turbines use the natural motion of the air all around us to spin a large bladed “fan”. This motion is then converted into usable energy. The energy is then either used immediately or stored in a high capacity battery for later use. The bladed “fan” itself is adjustable, that is it can rotate to face any direction in order to utilize wind from all four corners of the compass. Mankind has used the power of the wind for millennia. Sailors use the stream of air to propel their ships and boats. Farmers used to use giant windmills to help grind grain and other materials. The modern wind turbine is slightly different but is based on the same basic principle as ancient mills and sails. Even though man has used wind for such a long time, the system does have its downfalls. Wind turbines are derided for their noise and conservationists have complained their blades are a predator for birds and other wildlife. But more birds are killed by cars and power lines than wind turbines (nationalgeographic.com). Still, a system could be devised to help steer birds away from dangerous turbines. Obviously the system could be powered by the turbine itself. Installing turbines on the roofs of buildings would help alleviate the noise they produce. A major problem with turbines is the lack of predictable weather patterns provided by a fickle Mother Nature. Wind power obviously needs wind to work. A system using both solar power and wind power is therefore best. https://www.johnmemer.com/scholastic-projects/character-creator monthly 0.5 2020-06-12 https://www.johnmemer.com/scholastic-projects/we-need-a-hero monthly 0.5 2020-06-12
