SAVING THE WORLD

WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING TAKEN TOWARD

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RENEWABLE ENERGY AND GREEN TECHNOLOGY ? ? ?

• THE ONE FACTOR AND LENDER OF LEGAL TENDER THAT PUTS THE UPGRADE OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY TO A HALT IS THE GOVERNMENT

• WITH THE EARTHS HEALTH SLOWLY FADING, WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING TO SUSTAIN THE ENVIRONMENT

GREEN GOVERNMENT

Joseph Bianchi

• The Department of energy has kept their eye on the upcoming technological advances in the production of energy. Their main focus is energy efficiency and renewable energy.

• They have actually promoted two programs that are working to spread the wealth and investment of green technology throughout the nation.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Joseph Bianchi

• There are two mutual programs that work together to provide the nation funds to invest into renewable energy projects. They are “State Energy Program”, and the “The Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management program.”

• The Federal Energy Management program is actually the main foundation of the “State Energy Program”, through this, the left over government funds are held and granted to each state through the Department of Energy.

STATE FUNDING

Joseph Bianchi

• California has been taking the environmental sustainability act quite seriously.

• They are the leading state that is pushing to be one hundred percent environmental friendly.

• Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has posed several grants toward the maximum investment in solar panels and windmills throughout the state.

ALL OR NOTHING

Joseph Bianchi

• Green building are buildings that are• Designed to better workers working

space. • They consist of bigger windows to let

in more light to lower electrical emissions.

• Better ventilation , and the elimination of all chemicals from indoor and outdoors.

• They also try to eliminate SBS which is sick building syndrome.

• A Study of 154 green buildings with 2,000 tenants, were 534 participated in the test.

• 54.5 percent of the workers were more productive, 42 percent agreed, and 12 percent said no of change.

WORKERS PRODUCTIVITY IN GREEN BUILDINGS

WORKERS PRODUCTIVITY CONT’D

The study also examined the effects that telecommuting, health care maintenance,

temperature, indoor air quality, indoor pollution, innovative workspace, and other factors the play a

roll in workers productivity Green buildings help the environment : improving air

and water quality, reducing solid waste, and conserving natural resources.

They reduce operating costs, enhanced profits, improve employee production and satisfaction,

optimized life cycle performance.

FACTS ABOUT BUILDINGS

In the us alone buildings account for

72% of electricity

39% of energy use

38%of all carbon dioxide emissions

40% of raw materials

30% of waste output(136 million tons annually)

14% of potable water consumption

• Wind Turbine Technology

• Needs Steady 9 MPH of Wind

• Small Unit’s Are Capable of Powering Five City Blocks

• Owner’s Are Allowed To Sell Unused Power

WIND POWER

• Conventional Electricity Prices Are On The Rise

• Solar Panel Costs Are Way Down

• Federal Tax Credits And Grants, Cut Costs By 30%

• Payback Time For Most Solar Projects Are Cut In Half

Ron Duggan

SOLAR POWER

• Developed by Toyota Corporation

• Cuts Fuel Consumption

• Uses Regenerative Braking

• Cuts Down On Pollution

Ron Duggan

HYBRID DRIVABILITY

• New classes for electricians to learn about installing solar panels and other green technology.

• With more workers learning about how to install these panels it will lower costs for the customer to afford to have them installed.

WORKERS STEPS TO GO GREEN

Eli Fischer

• New ideas that are being made by workers to make their buildings more Eco Green such as using rain water collectors used for watering the lawn, and used for the houses toilets.

Eli Fischer

WORKERS STEPS CONT’D

• Thanks to the recent improvements on educating electricians on green technology it has helped reduce the costs for the home owner.

• After being newly educated on green technology it has opened many doors for new jobs in the electrical field for those out of work
