Eight Easy energy saving Ideas

1 Use an electric blanket to warm the bed and switch it off as you enter, rather than run a heater all night.
2 Take shorter showers. Try cold showers in summer, certainly would make for shorter showers.
3 Only use the Dishwasher and clothes-washer when its full. It is actually cheaper than washing, in a sink, each day. The dish washer, an clothes washer may have ECO settings.
4 Dress appropriately for the weather thus woollen long johns in winter, a jumper or wool ponchos in the evening. I have installed blankets on the living room couch.
5 Maintain modern appliances, with the highest energy star ratings, for example, the TV as a new 7 star rated appliance.The refrigerator can be a high energy user. New products like refrigerators from Europe are yet to be imported to Australia.
6 Windows should be made in low emissivity glass or even better as double glazed units. Cheaper Chinese imported Double glazing is now available from Bunnings and Masters.
7 Weather seal all your external doors and windows, sliding windows are particularly drafty. Use easy to apply stick on foam, floor seals and doors snakes.
8 Turn off all electrical appliances at the wall plug, to save ten percent off your bill.

Bathroom refinishing makeover,for Easy Home Renovating

The Bathroom Resurfacing Advantage, for easy home renovating

Renovating the bath or bathroom no longer means ripping things out and starting again at great expense and massive disruption. OK if you’ve got money to burn, but there is a better way to achieve a beautiful bathroom makeover.

Bathroom Resurfacing is now an internationally accepted method of renewing the appearance of a baths, basins, showers and walls in a bathroom, with several very important advantages over traditional methods:

1 Bathroom Resurfacing costs much less than replacement, 75% less in fact.
2 You can choose any colour for your resurfacing project to suit or match with other items.
3 Grout lines are sealed during the bathroom resurfacing process and give no further mould problems.
4 Bathroom Resurfacing can be completed in 2 to 3 days compared with 2 to 3 weeks using traditional methods.
5 Instead of ending up as landfill, your bathroom fixtures and wall surfaces can be given a new lease of life!

In other words, Bathroom Resurfacing can transform the appearance of your old bathroom in days not weeks, at a fraction of the cost of total replacement, making it easier to keep clean and free of mould.

Bath Resurfacing for easy home renovating

There are some situations where only bath resurfacing is required. This may be due to wear and tear, chips, staining and other problems that make the bath difficult to clean and keep clean. Professional bath resurfacing will restore the bath to showroom appearance and in so doing, uplift the appearance of the rest of the bathroom. If re-tiling is planned or has already been completed, a resurfaced bath will fully complement the new appearance.

Energy and Water efficiency measures

Reduce over heating by shading your windows with large eaves, awnings, external blinds, low E{emissivity} glass or double glazing. Carefully, consider window placement, North is great for the southern hemisphere, with less western or colder southern windows. Conserve light and heat by using the northern light window. Minimize required air conditioning with good design, thermal mass, insulation and cross ventilation. In colder areas, Hydronic heating using piped hot water is very efficient.The heat is usually generated by a gas boiler.
The advances in design and new products is proceeding every day, so watch out for cheaper, double glazed windows and double glazed skylights. A modern portable ethanol heater can be versatile, it is used both inside, for living areas and an outdoor room.
Ethanol Heater + Ethanol Burner & Grate Systems can be Easily Incorporated into your Existing Fireplace. Ethanol Burners can be placed into any functioning or non-functioning wood burning fireplaces with or without the damper open. There is no expensive installation required, no gas hook-ups, no more wood to chop. Perfect Solution for Locales with “NO BURN DAYS” or Do Not Allow Wood Burning Fireplaces.

It takes a lot of natural gas to run an ethanol plant. A plant needs steam to liquefy corn starch and heat to distill alcohol and more heat to dry the leftover distillers grains.
Burning natural gas to produce all that heat is the second largest expense at most ethanol plants – trailing only the cost of the corn used for ethanol production. One estimate says Iowa’s annual production of more than one billion gallons of ethanol accounts for about 16 percent of the state’s demand for natural gas. That has Iowa State University researchers working with an Ames company to develop a renewable and cost effective alternative to the natural gas burned by most ethanol plants.

The technology involves partial combustion of biomass – that could include corn stalks, distillers grains, waste wood or other biorenewables – to produce a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and other flammable gases. The resulting mixture is known as producer gas and it can replace natural gas in an ethanol plant’s heaters. The producer gas can also be upgraded to what’s known as syngas, a mixture that can be converted into high-value transportation fuels, alcohols, hydrogen, ammonia and other chemicals.
Producer gas is made by injecting biomass into a fluidized bed gasifier, a thermal system that pumps air up through a bed of hot sand, creating bubbles and a sand-air pseudo fluid. A reaction between the biomass and the hot sand-air mixture produces flammable gases. The process also generates its own heat to sustain the reaction. It’s a system that’s reliable, produces few emissions and can be efficiently integrated into a plant’s existing natural gas boilers.
