BY MOVING A HORIZONTAL PANEL INSIDE,IT CAN REFLECT SUNLIGHT AND PROVIDE SUNLIGHT , AT THE SAME TIME A BLOCK TOO MUCH SUNLIGHT FROM INSIDE

SOLAR. A SOLAR PANEL IS A PACKAGED, CONNECTED ASSEMBLY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS. THE SOLAR PANEL CAN BE USED AS A COMPONENT OF A LARGER PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM TO GENERATE AND SUPPLY ELECTRICITY IN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDEN-

WIND

TIAL APPLICATIONS. EACH PANEL IS RATED BY ITS DC OUTPUT POWER UNDER STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS, AND TYPICALLY RANGES FROM 100 TO 320 WATTS. THE EFFICIENCY OF A PANEL DETERMINES THE AREA OF A PANEL GIVEN THE SAME RATED

SUNLIGHT

OUTPUT AN 8% EFFICIENT 230 WATT PANEL WILL HAVE TWICE THE AREA OF A 16% EFFICIENT 230 WATT PANEL. BECAUSE A SINGLE SOLAR PANEL CAN PRODUCE ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF POWER, MOST INSTALLATIONS CONTAIN MULTIPLE PANELS.

WATER THE WIND, SUN AND WATER ARE THREE SOURCES THAT MAKE ELECTRICITY FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY

WIND POWER. IS THE CONVERSION OF WIND ENERGY INTO A USEFUL FORM OF ENERGY, SUCH AS USING WIND TURBINES TO MAKE ELECTRICAL POWER, WINDMILLS FOR MECHANICAL POWER, WIND PUMPS FOR WATER PUMPING OR DRAINAGE, OR SAILS TO PROPEL SHIPS. KALAMAZOO GAZETTEA WIND TURBINE IS ULTRA-MODERN-LOOKING THING THAT COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR ARTWORK. ELECTRICITY THAT IS GENERATED IS BEING USED TO POWER LIGHTS AND SYSTEMS IN THE HOUSE AND COMMON AREAS.

BIOGAS TYPICALLY REFERS TO A GAS PRODUCED BY THE BREAKDOWN OF ORGANIC MATTER IN THE ABSENCE OF OXYGEN. IT IS A RENEWABLE ENERGY

SOURCE, LIKE SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY. FURTHERMORE, BIOGAS CAN BE

PRODUCED FROM REGIONALLY AVAILABLE RAW MATERIALS AND RECYCLED WASTE AND IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. BIOGAS IS PRODUCED BY THE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OR FERMENTATION OF BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS SUCH AS MANURE, SEWAGE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, GREEN WASTE, PLANT MATERI-

75% FREE ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY + 25% ELECREICAL ENERGY =100% HEATING ENERGY

(H2S), MOISTURE AND SILOXANES. GEOTHERMAL GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IS THERMAL ENERGY GENERATED AND

STORED IN THE EARTH. THERMAL ENERGY IS THE ENERGY THAT DETERMINES THE

VEGITATION

TEMPERATURE OF MATTER. THE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY OF THE EARTH'S CRUST

SPRAY PAINT

ORIGINATES FROM THE ORIGINAL FORMATION OF THE PLANET (20%) AND FROM RADIOACTIVE DECAY OF MINERALS (80%). THE GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT, WHICH IS THE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURE BETWEEN THE CORE OF THE PLANET AND ITS SURFACE, DRIVES A CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION OF THERMAL ENERGY IN THE

MECH

COOLING SYSTEMS AND THE ENERGY THEY REQUIRE. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN

1" PLASTIC

THAT THE SURFACE OF AN EXTERIOR GREEN WALL IS UP TO 20째F COOLER THAN

PLYWOOD

AN EXPOSED WALL, THEREFORE CONSIDERABLY LESS HEAT IS RADIATED INWARD.

NOT ONLY DO GREEN WALLS REDUCE COOLING REQUIREMENTS BUT THEY ALSO
