WIND
• Wind turbines work by the wind spinning the windmill which turns a turbine which creates electricity
• Advantages – It’s cleaner, renewable, free and energy increases
exponentially
Disadvantages
higher initial cost, doesn’t work with out wind,
And there is a higher initial cost
Green Roof
• Green Roof’s are used to insolate a house from the heat and cold. It is a bunch of plants or grasses that you put on the roof to absorb the sunlight. It dramatically reduces the amount of energy used to moderate the temperature of the house.
• Advantages
Lower Electricity Bills, Less energy used
• Disadvantages
Aesthetically unpleasing, Higher initial cost
Passive Solar Heating
• Passive Solar Heating works by using the design of the house so that, in the summer, when the sun is higher in the sky, the roof blocks all sunlight coming through the giant windows in the house, however, in the winter, when the sun is low in the sky, the sunlight comes through the windows and is absorbed by a special material on the inside walls, in this case, stone.
• Advantages: Low heating cost, All heat is natural, less environmental
damageDisadvantages
Unreliable, Doesn’t work in some weather conditions, house has to be made special
Evaporative Cooler
• is a device that cools air through the simple evaporation of water.
• Evaporative cooling differs from air conditioning by refrigeration and absorptive refrigeration, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles.
• Advantages:Less expensive to install and operate, easy
maintenance Disadvantages: does not remove humidity from air isnt
removed needs a lot of water
