Requirements for Small Renewable Energy Systems
Local Codes and Requirements for Small Renewable Energy SystemsEach state and community has its own set of codes and regulations that you will need to follow in order to add a small renewable energy system to your home or small business. These regulations can affect the type of renewable energy system you are allowed to install and who installs it. They can also affect whether you decide to connect your system to the electricity grid or use it in place of grid-supplied electricity as a stand-alone system.
A local renewable energy company or organization, your state energy office, or your local officials should be able to tell you about the requirements that apply in your community. If you want to connect your system to the electricity grid, these groups may also be able to help you navigate your power provider's grid-connection requirements. Here are some of the state and community requirements you may encounter:

Hard copies of the 1990 document are available from the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service at 202-554-1404, or from the Asbestos Ombudsman at 1-800-368-5888.

Benefits: Energy & Cost Savings Windows
In climates with a significant heating season, windows have represented a major source of unwanted heat loss, discomfort, and condensation problems. In recent decades, windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to have lower heat loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and minimize condensation. The graphs below illustrate the simulated savings in heating season costs associated with energy efficient windows for a typical house in a heating-dominated climate. The savings shown do not include possible savings from reduced air leakage. Depending on the condition of the old windows in an existing home, the savings can be higher if window replacement leads to long-term air leakage reduction.
|
Recommended Levels of Insulation
Insulation level are specified by R-Value. R-Value is a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it. The higher the R-Value the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The table below shows what levels of insulation are cost-effective for different climates and locations in the home. |

There’s a move afoot in the cleaning industry to adopt green practices for the sake of protecting human health and the environment.

These research studies have caught the attention of the press, governmental groups, even celebrities. The green cleaning movement has been solely concentrated in the commercial and institutional sectors. |

What is an Energy Efficient Mortgage?
Do you know about the Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM)? Although EEMs have been available in some states since 1980, EEMs have been little understood or marketed. With EEMs, borrowers do not need to get a separate, costly loan for energy improvements when buying an existing home or new home that is already energy efficient such as an ENERGY STAR qualified home. This program helps achieve national energy-efficiency goals (reduce pollution) and provide better housing for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Ask your mortgage banker if he/she offers this program?
