Energy Audit 2Prepare a summary report of the energy usage of your building extracted from the ITRON web site. This should include data from different periods of the year to cover times with heating and air conditioning, and varying building occupancy; an analysis of daytime vs. night time usage (which may be very useful in helping to identify energy savings), and weekday vs. weekend. Length: ~two pages of text plus figures. Upload to ELMS. Due Date: Tonight

Production vs. Conservation
ANWR - total reserves estimated at 5-10 billion barrels of oil
US annual oil consumption: 7 billion barrels per year
- If we increase mileage from 27(current) to 30 mpg, this saves an ANWR every 6-12 yrs…
What could go wrong?

McKinsey Study:
By 2020:
• invest $520 Billion
• save $1200 Billion
• reduce US energy by 9 quads
Energy Conservation vs. Conservation of Energy First Law of Thermodynamics- Energy is conserved
Energy Conservation- Reduce usage of energy- More efficient production- More efficient distribution- More efficient products- Changing our usage patterns- Personal choices
“The cleanest power plant is the one never built.”
Global Energy Usage - Selected Countries Australia 5700 Bangladesh 161 Brazil 1067 China 1138 France 4518 Germany 4203 Ghana 400 India 512 Japan 4040 Kenya 481 Mexico 1533 Russia 4423 South Africa 2596 US 7794
2003 Energy per capita in kg oil equivalent
Why are we such energy hogs?
1. The US is a large country2. Our standard of living is
much higher3. Oil companies have too
much political influence4. We don’t care about
conservation5. We are not hogs - the rest
of the world is just catching up.

Energy Star
- Joint program of EPA and DoE- Started in 1992- certifies products as energy efficient- now expanded to buildings- > 95% of computer monitors are ES rated- 20% heating systems- 20% washers/dryers
- Program has saved ~5% of total US electricity demand in 2006
Energy Saved

Standby power
1 W on for a year is ~3.15x107 W sec- ~3.15x107 W sec / 3600 sec/hr = 8750Wh = 8.750kWh- At $0.15/kWh -> $1.31 per year/kWh

Lighting - Incandescent vs. Compact Fluorescent

Incandescent Spectrum
HalogenSpectrum
Lighting
Light output measured in lumens- Amount of visible light per solid angle- Lights with equal lumens have equal brightness
Maximum possible efficiency = 684 lm/W(all energy converted to visible light)
Incandescent bulb : ~ 1700 lm for 100 W Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) ~1700 lm for 23W- Sold as 100 W equivalent , i.e. same lumen output as 100
W incandescent bulb- Typically 4X more efficient!
Say goodbye to incandescent bulbs…
Do they save me money? 100 W CFL ~ $3.00 100 W Incandescent ~ $0.75
Calculate payback time
- Assume I use light ~ 3 hrs. per day- In one year incandescent consumes 3h X 0.1 kW X 365 = 110
kWh- I pay $ 0.15 /kWh to PEPCO- My cost per year = $16.50- The CFL only uses 24 W, so cost is (24/100) $16.50 = $3.96- I save a difference of $12.50/year- I invested $2.25, so it pays back in 2.25/12.5 = .18 years = 2
months!!
Should I replace a working incandescent bulb?
What happens to the heat incandescent bulbs produce?
In the summer they add to your air-conditioning bill - it takes ~3 times less energy to remove the heat – - still that adds 30%
In the winter – it adds heat so your electric bill is reduced- normal heating costs about half as much as electric
resistance heat so you save about 50% in the winter

A bathroom decision
My wife wanted to renovate our bathroom
The designer said “what about a heated floor?
I wanted to know what it was going to cost to operate
Page 27
How much was a heated floor going to cost to use? The floor heater uses 400W (when on)- Using the calculation from above:- At $0.15/kWh -> $1.31 per year/kWh
- So this would be about $520/year But the heater only runs at most 5 hours/day so about 1/5th
of the time- So $520-> $100/yr
But I only use it in the winter (say 1/2 of the year) - So now it’s $50/yr
But I only use it when we would be using heat so it adds heat to the house- This is about a factor of 2 less efficient than my heat
pump - So now it’s $25/yr
Page 28
So what did we do?
Page 29
Fluorescent Lamps
Low pressure mercury discharge gives off UV UV hits a fluorescent coating that emits a white light
Page 30
What about mercury? CFLs typically have 3-5 mg of Hg (as do all fluorescents)
About 1/3 of all Hg emissions come from coal power plants
According to EPA about 50 tons Hg are emitted each year by coal plants
They generate 2 X 1012 kWh of electricity per year- Coal produces 50 X 109 mg/2X1012 kWh = 2.5 X 10-2 mg/kWh
- A 100 W incandescent bulb lasts about 2000 hrs., using a total of 200 kWh of electricity.
- If all from coal this would be lead to 5 mg of Hg
- Bottom line: mercury is about the same (assuming we do NOT recycle CFLs)

LEDs - Light emitting diodes
Even more efficient than CFLs Different colors Now used in traffic lights, car tail lights Still too expensive for straight replacement

Insulation
Heat transfer:-Radiation-Convection-Conduction
Eliminating radiation losses - use layers(Note: infrared doesn’t go through glass)
Stefan-Boltzmann Law: Power radiated = A T4

A T24 P1 = A T1

P1 = A T14 - Ti

= A T14 - (1/2)(T1
4 + T24))
= A (1/2) (T14 - T2

-> 2X less power lost!

Balance: T14 + T2

Ti4 =(1/2)(T1
4 + T24)
Add intermediate layer:
Double pane window

(warm)
Convection loss
Easy: seal up any cracks, block drafts
Problem:- If your house is too tightly sealed, may have problems
with indoor air quality
- Average US house - changes air 1 - 1.5X per hour- Can be reduced to ~ 0.2X per hour safely- But depends on building materials- Formaldehyde in FEMA trailers!
Conduction loss
Use insulation
- Measured with R value- Rate of heat transfer = A T/R- R-1 about 1 inch of still air
- R-values add
- In MD we should have R-30 in our attics
Windows
Can be responsible for up to 40% of heat loss Single pane -> double pane ->triple pane
As good as R-10

Home heating - First Law vs. Second Law First Law Efficiency:
- Energy out/energy in Example: resistive electric heat ~ 100% efficient (1st
Law) Heating requires relatively low temperatures
(don’t want 500 deg air blowing out of ducts)- Need to go from Toutside
~ 273 K to Tinside ~ 300 K- Wouldn’t we be better off moving heat around, especially since the indoor and outdoor temperatures are not too different?
- Second Law Efficiency:- Energy of absolute best process (Carnot)/(energy in)- Tinside
/(Tinside-Toutside)=300 K/27k= 11
- Now electric heat is 9% efficient (2nd law) : We have lots of room for improvements!
My (parents) home is heated with…
1. Natural gas2. Propane3. Oil4. Electric (resistive) heat5. Heat Pump6. Solar7. I have no clue.
FurnacesOil -popular in New EnglandNatural gasPropane
Very efficient (1st Law)>90%
Not a lot of room for improvements
Home heating
Heat Pumps
Move heat from outside to inside ( a refrigerator run backwards - cooling the outdoors)
Heat Pumps
Rated with SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency rating)
SEER = ratio of seasonally averaged cooling power in BTU/h compared to Watts of electricity used (measured when used as air conditioner)
e.g. SEER of 16 produces almost 5X more cooling power than it uses in electricity
-remember - we are moving heat so we can have a 1st Law efficiency > 1!
-Why don’t we all have heat pumps?
A Cool Idea
Dig down 20 ft. and the ground temperature is about 55 F- Why not use this as a source of heat in the winter, and as a
place to dispose of heat in the summer?
