Where to find a home energy auditor?

Trying to get a comprehensive home energy audit on my house. Google brings up a lot of home inspectors, are they the same thing or are they qualified to do that?

Any information would be great, thanks. I’m in Atlanta also.

I’ve got one coming to our house one of these upcoming days.
I found one close to me on www.energygroup123.com, maybe you can too, or at least get a referral.
Their audit is free too!

Should we believe conservatives when they say green energy is not feasible?

People around the world are using it, I’ve ridden the clean quiet green public transit systems,
I’ve seen the windmills, ridden the bike lanes, etc. I’ve showered with the solar shower, turned on the lights and watched TV on the web with it too. And it wasn’t expensive.
Conservatives are against it, and they say it’s just too expensive.
Should I believe them? Is it wrong to believe my own eyes and ears?

I live in a country where we have a lot of green solar and wind energy.

people don’t support it because they don’t make as much money from it as eventually you can have your own solar and wind turbine so you don’t have to buy it from electrico grids.

Explain, whether diffraction of light obeys principle of conservation of energy ? How ?

In Physics, Interference of light is in accordance with the principle of conservation of energy. But, in some text i found that diffraction doesn’t obey, even though both are wave phenomenon. If it is so, what is the reason behind it.

In general, a lot of care must be taken when working with the energy of wave phenomena. It is very difficult to localize energy within distances less than one wavelength.

In diffraction, light is interacting with matter, so some will be absorbed by that matter and be converted into heat. Furthermore, the matter will re-radiate, so it is actaully a subtle thing to determine where the energy goes. In fact, technically speaking, it is the re-radiation by the matter that creates the diffraction pattern by cancelling the portion of the wave that would have gone through the matter.

In any case, the energy discrepancy will show up as heat in the matter.

The Real Reason For Buying A Hot Tub Cover

A lot of people think that the only reason to buy a hot tube cover is to keep the water clean. However, you should realize that the cover actually does more than keep fallen dirt out of the water. Of course, it is an effective gadget in making sure that people soak in clean hot tub water, however, hygiene is not the only reason for buying a hot tub cover.

Here are some of the reasons why a cover is important:

Safety

One of the most underestimated functions is safety. A lot of people know how dangerous an open hot tub can be when you have children around the house. You can make sure that even if your toddler or child ventures near the tub, he or she will not fall into the water. You should make sure though that you actually secure the cover, not merely place it on top of the hot tub.

energy conservation

Another reason for buying is energy conservation. You should know that heating the water of the tub to the right temperature can consume a lot of electricity. Because of this, you need to make sure that the tub loses as little heat as possible. A quality cover will ensure that the next time you use the tub it won’t take a lot of electricity to get the water back to its right temperature.

There are also solar covers that can actually ease your electricity load. This is because these they actually utilize the energy of the sun to heat up and maintain the temperature of the water. Buying these solar covers can help you save up to 10 percent on your electricity bill. By today’s standards, that’s quite a lot.

There are some things you need to consider before buying. The first is the material of the cover. You should know that what the cover is made of greatly affects how effective it is in maintaining the temperature of the water. Although getting a canvas cover can cost you less, you really ought to think about buying one that’s made of Styrofoam. This material has better insulating properties than others and will help you save more on your electric bill.

You should also make sure that what you buy completely covers the hot tub so as not to let any heat escape. Of course, this could be easier with a canvas or plastic sheet cover, but you should really opt to having your hot tub fitted with better cover material.

As always, take the cost into consideration. You need to make sure that you are getting the most out of your money. Check if the quality of the product is well worth paying for.

When you think about it, having hot tub cover can really give you a lot of advantages. Just make sure that you choose the right one for your needs.
