GREEN BUILDING 101: Appliances, Electronics and Energy Use. Here at Green Building 101, we’ve looked at many ways that you can design, build, and renovate your home with more attention to your health and the environment. This is the tenth installment in the series, and now that you’ve been thoroughly educated, we’re going to dig into the nitty gritty details. Get ready for glamour; we’re talking today about plug loads. Ah, plug loads! Very exciting, you say…but what are they?! Let’s simplify. We’re talking about everything and anything that you plug in—major appliances, task lights, consumer electronics, home office products and a variety of miscellaneous tools and devices. Pay up-front for quality appliances. Some call these white goods, but they come in all colors and buying the right models can save you lots in energy costs over time.
But manufacturers are bringing more efficient models to the market all the time, so choose wisely. The easiest way to identify the most energy-efficient products is to look for the ENERGY STAR label. Electronics 101 - Fundamentals of Electricity - Lesson 1 - MATTER. Throughout mankind, we have tried to explain the things we see around us. This is probably what sets us apart from the apes more than anything else. While other animals are simply content with the fact that a rock is a rock and a tree is a tree, we as humans must investigate and find out WHY a tree grows, and HOW was this rock formed?
At first, man broke things down into various groups. Along the way someone found they could be broken down into 3 groups: Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. This worked fine for monkeys, which were animal, and trees which were vegetable. Another way of classifying things was found: Solids, Liquids and Gases. Benjamin Franklin concluded from his many experiments, that electricity had certain properties, such as pressure, current. So again we pose the question, "What is MATTER? " Scientifically we define matter as all the "material" things about us. All matter then takes up space.
