Applying the 1996 estimate by Arthur D. Little Inc. of 34%, Residential-GFX could save 1.23 quads per year. Although no estimate was given for Commercial-GFX, another 0.47 quads (60%) could be saved, for a grand total of 1.7 quads. That's 12 billion equivalent gallons of oil. [Note: A recent DOE Report to Congress, which failed to included graywater heat recycling, estimated potential residential savings of 2.38 quads (65%) and commercial savings of 0.

The latest estimate of 34% is contained in a 1996 report submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy by Arthur D. Little Inc. This estimate is similar to those by other DOE consultants; none of which account for tremendous variations in true cost. [Note: A 1990 report of the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicated 38% of America's households heat water by electricity.

That depends upon many factors. For example, if GFX does the job of a new, or secondary water heater, the payback is day one! When GFX permits the installation of a 40 or 50-gallon water heater and provides the shower-capacity of an 80 to 120 gallon unit, payback could be year-one! If you're tired of fighting for the only shower in the house, GFX may pay for itself the first time it's used.

One way GFX saves water is by shortening shower warm-up times when preheated water feeds the cold side of the shower. Another way is by installing the Model G3-60 in applications where tampering with low-flow showerheads is likely; taking advantage of its relatively high pressure drop to limit flow to about 4.5 gpm. In some industrial applications, enormous quantities of cold water are added to hot wastewater to avoid Btu-taxes.

Met-Tile has earned the ENERGY STAR® for its cool roof attributes! Cool roofs reflect sunlight away from your home, so they use less energy, are cooler and more pleasant for occupants. Met-Tile cool roof coatings have reflectivity values that meet or greatly exceed ENERGY STAR requirements. Also, Met-Tile’s design provides an insulating layer of moving air between the roof and substructure, making your home even more energy-efficient.

Metal roofing reflects the majority of the sun's rays, so it doesn't retain as much heat as wood, asphalt shingles, tiles, or cement. This means a metal roof could help your attic stay cooler longer - leading to a significant reduction in your energy bills. Many of our metal roofing products are Energy Star® rated.

When the light is off, no energy is being used. The longer the triac is off, the lower the light output, and the greater the energy savings.

Yes. Because ION Scalebuster will remove existing scale build up on heating services, such as hot water heaters, hot water pipes and tanks, less energy is required to heat the water. A thickness of scale of only an eighth of one inch can add 25% to energy costs.

Yes. Compare a 15 watt compact fluorescent light with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. A compact florescent bulb cost $17.00 and lasts for 10,000 hrs. A regular incandescent bulb costs $2.50 and last for about 1,000 hrs. You would have to replace the regular incandescent bulb 10 times at a cost of 25.00 to equal a compact florescent light. The savings here would be $8. The energy savings between the two is about $1.50 a month. A compact florescent light costs .

You can tell them also your username if you tell them by word of mouth.

Yes, there are a variety of books and web sites devoted to helping consumers save energy and money around the home. A good start is the American Council for Energy Efficient Economy, Guide to Home Energy Savings.

Yes, According to the U.S. Department of Energy if you have an electric water heater, you can save an additional 5%–12% of energy by installing a timer that turns it off at night when you don't use hot water and/or during your utility's peak demand times. By programming the ShabbHOT™ Water Heater Controller correctly you could save as much as 15% or more on your water heating costs by controlling the temperature and decreasing it during the night and the hours you are not at home.

Like Panasonic's Super-Quiet series, the WhisperLite series fan has been factory tested at more than 30,000 hours of continuos operation. And Panasonic's fluorescent lamp (included with WhisperLite) is rated at 10,000 hours. Panasonic WhisperLite have taken several measures to reduce the noise level such as a totally enclosed condenser motor, large size fan casing with low RPM, and totally sealed body casing. These measures help to eliminate noise.

Start by focusing on your largest energy users in the home ? anything that heats or cools including your heating system, hot water heater, refrigerator ? these are the largest energy users and having them cleaned and operating at their best can save the most. Next, eliminate the extra users for the winter and summer seasons, especially anything that heats or cools such as the spare refrigerator in the garage, the dehumidifier in the basement, and the filled hot tub and tropical fish tank.

The color of the window film you select is largely a matter of personal preference and makes little or no difference in energy use or savings. The amount of solar energy that passes through window film depends largely upon the density of the film color. Bear in mind, however, that the more dense or reflective the film, the darker your home's interior will be.

You can always turn off the lights when you're not in the dorm. Of course, you can also turn off the computer while you're sleeping. Conserve energy as you see fit.

In most cases you can significantly lower or completely eliminate your energy bills. Your actual savings will be specific to your individual circumstances and will vary according to your current power usage and the size and type of your new system.

Once installed window film helps reduce the amount of solar heat energy coming through a pane of glass. This makes it easier to cool a room or the interior of a car, resulting in lower energy consumption. The extent of savings will depend on the type of film selected and the geographic location where the film is used.
