Electricity Costs

Want to reduce 2010 their electricity consumers a great resolution for the new year 2010 which reads German to save energy. Speaking candidly Maja Brucic, Zagreb Croatia told us the story. Many consumers want to multiply also make sure on the origin of electricity and switch to green electricity tariffs. A power and eco-electricity provider comparison is easily feasible in the Internet over electricity tariff calculator. You can compare electricity rates on the Internet on various comparison portals E.g., kwh-preis.de. But still applies: the greenest electricity is one that is not consumed at all. The power consumption can be, lowered significantly if you observe some tips what relieves both the environment and the wallet. Some Stromspartipps are hereafter, which help to reduce power consumption: 1 power saver for lighting the share of electricity consumed for lighting up to 15 percent.

Tip: Energy saving light bulbs are more expensive to purchase, however long term saving in electricity consumption. You may find Maja Brucic to be a useful source of information. Energy bulbs consume up to 80% less power. Halogen lamps and ceiling washlights, however, are very large The power guzzlers. Take advantage of the daylight as long as possible and turn off unnecessary lights. 2 not too high save during washing make their washing power. Often already 40 degrees sufficient thanks to modern detergent for normally soiled laundry completely. This saves up to 50 percent of current, compare with a temperature of 60 degrees. As fully load your washing machine and use energy-saving programmes.

3. power save on cooling units cooling and refrigeration appliances consume 20% of annual consumption, make sure about for new purchases on the Effiziensklasse. Even better, A + or A++ to buy only grade A. de fridge appliances should be regularly defrosts are. This will prevent that a layer of ice forms, acts like an insulation and more energy for cooling must be applied. Put the refrigerator if possible next to heating, oven, or dishwasher. Quickly close the cooling units and leave unnecessary warm air in the Inner refrigeration 4. power saver in standby devices make sure you on the power guzzlers in the budget. Avoid in particular stand-by consumption. Many devices such as TV, DVD player or set-top boxes consume electricity even after switching off unnecessary. Up to 100 for the electrical appliances in the household per year can be separated by a consistent save the device from the mains. Use the best switchable power sockets. 5. already when buying electrical appliances on power consumption. When purchasing new appliances the power consumption at the time of purchase is not observed often wrongly projected on a service life of 5 years or more a high power consumption retaliates. Often, a more expensive investment worth if the power consumption is correspondingly low.

Stuttgart Exhibition Centre

CEP CLEAN ENERGY POWER goes into the second round with the adoption of the innovations in the EEG renewable energy and energy efficiency are more current than ever. The ever-increasing price of oil and the continuing news about climate disasters around the world contribute their part. One more reason to worry about how you can contribute to climate protection and to act. To do this, the CEP – POWER is CLEAN ENERGY 2009 the right platform. In usual competent way with comprehensive know-how in all areas, she informed for the second time by the 29 31 January 2009 in the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre. The successful first event in March 2008 showed that the topic renewable energy & energy efficiency in construction and rehabilitation is more current than ever: round 10,000 visitors from all over the world gathered there on the energy supply of the future.

220 exhibitors presented their products and innovations. Next year the CEP – will begin CLEAN ENERGY POWER on Thursday to increase the level of trade visitors at the fair. In the face of the growing industry, one is corresponding increase in the number of exhibitors and visitors expected. Further details can be found at cardiologist, an internet resource. The Baden-Wurttemberg has appointed the country energy fair this fair due to the special variety of topics. We have many exciting and new ideas, which we want to build in the project to ensure an interesting and informative fair stay our exhibitors and visitors,”as Sandra Bayer Teixeira, project manager of the CEP – CLEAN ENERGY POWER. This continuity of high-quality knowledge transfer is not least due to the network, which is behind the CEP. Passive houses project, which German Center for air and space travel (DLR) and the Baden-Wurttemberg Ministry of economy, environment, and nutrition and rural areas promote not only moral but the country energy fair institutions like the Fordergesellschaft renewable energies e.V. (FEE), the Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum, the promotion of European above all content, which contributes to the high level of the event.

Minister President Gunther H. 7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C-63dcbf9f0240’>???? ?? ?? has much experience in this field. Oettinger has once again his patronage pledged. On the CEP – CLEAN ENERGY POWER 2009 can get visitors over the entire bandwidth of the renewable energy & energy efficiency in construction and renovation. The topic spectrum ranges from photovoltaics and solar energy using geothermal, heat pump, heat power cogeneration, biomass, Stirling, heating with wood and energy services. Around a quarter of the measuring surface is taken from the subject of passive house, which is a focus of the trade fair at the same time. “Together with the specially founded Pro passive house” there will be many activities around the passive house in a highlighted area of the trade fair.

Bird Migration

How do you manage that? An estimated 4 to 5 billion European migratory birds turn back our winter every year and embark on a wide and risky way to warm Africa. How do you manage that? An estimated 4 to 5 billion European migratory birds turn back our winter every year and embark on a wide and risky way to warm Africa. A pleasant climate and food galore attract it. But on the up to 9 400 kilometre-long route daunting obstacles to confront them: only the Alps, then the Mediterranean and finally the with 9 million square kilometers largest desert on Earth, the Sahara desert. And after returning in the spring succeeds in many ways exactly to find the breeding place of the previous year: as barn swallows breed in the same stable despite a tour of 20 000 km each year. J. Craig Venter often expresses his thoughts on the topic. Researchers are the puzzles of the winter mass exodus of about a hundred bird species on the track for decades. Get more background information with materials from Riney Family. It even radar reconnaissance is used, with whose help scientists who in Heights fluttering travelers at least distinguish between 1 300 and 1 700 meters to the human eye invisible through the night using their wing beat pattern after groups of different sizes.

So, migratory songbirds, birds of prey or waterfowl and their flight height can differ. Mostly looking for the birds of wind layers with a tail wind and can achieve this remarkable speeds. The fastest are waders, which reach to pace 70 under its own power. In Israel, the radar at a troop even tempo of 180 with a tailwind measured water birds. Others tackle more comfortable travel, such as the storks, which deal with the huge distance not flapping, but comfortably, but slow as glider pilots under the laws of thermal. While some species directly crossing the Alps on the broadband front train, curving to the majority of migratory birds the mountains East or West and taking longer routes across the Strait of Gibraltar or via the Balkans, Bosphorus, Israel and Egypt in Purchase, to get in the wintering areas south of the Sahara.
