  1. SAVING THE WORLD ONE EFFORT AT A TIME

  2. WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING TAKEN TOWARD ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RENEWABLE ENERGY AND GREEN TECHNOLOGY ? ? ?

  3. GREEN GOVERNMENT • THE ONE FACTOR AND LENDER OF LEGAL TENDER THAT PUTS THE UPGRADE OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY TO A HALT IS THE GOVERNMENT • WITH THE EARTHS HEALTH SLOWLY FADING, WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING TO SUSTAIN THE ENVIRONMENT Joseph Bianchi

  4. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY • The Department of energy has kept their eye on the upcoming technological advances in the production of energy. Their main focus is energy efficiency and renewable energy. • They have actually promoted two programs that are working to spread the wealth and investment of green technology throughout the nation. Joseph Bianchi

  5. STATE FUNDING • There are two mutual programs that work together to provide the nation funds to invest into renewable energy projects. They are “State Energy Program”, and the “The Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management program.” • The Federal Energy Management program is actually the main foundation of the “State Energy Program”, through this, the left over government funds are held and granted to each state through the Department of Energy. Joseph Bianchi

  6. ALL OR NOTHING • California has been taking the environmental sustainability act quite seriously. • They are the leading state that is pushing to be one hundred percent environmental friendly. • Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has posed several grants toward the maximum investment in solar panels and windmills throughout the state. Joseph Bianchi

  7. WORKERS PRODUCTIVITY IN GREEN BUILDINGS • Green building are buildings that are • Designed to better workers working space. • They consist of bigger windows to let in more light to lower electrical emissions. • Better ventilation , and the elimination of all chemicals from indoor and outdoors. • They also try to eliminate SBS which is sick building syndrome. • A Study of 154 green buildings with 2,000 tenants, were 534 participated in the test. • 54.5 percent of the workers were more productive, 42 percent agreed, and 12 percent said no of change. TJ Parks

  8. WORKERS PRODUCTIVITY CONT’D The study also examined the effects that telecommuting, health care maintenance, temperature, indoor air quality, indoor pollution, innovative workspace, and other factors the play a roll in workers productivity Green buildings help the environment : improving air and water quality, reducing solid waste, and conserving natural resources. They reduce operating costs, enhanced profits, improve employee production and satisfaction, optimized life cycle performance. TJ Parks

  9. FACTS ABOUT BUILDINGS In the us alone buildings account for 72% of electricity 39% of energy use 38%of all carbon dioxide emissions 40% of raw materials 30% of waste output(136 million tons annually) 14% of potable water consumption TJ Parks

  10. WIND POWER • Wind Turbine Technology • Needs Steady 9 MPH of Wind • Small Unit’s Are Capable of Powering Five City Blocks • Owner’s Are Allowed To Sell Unused Power Ron Duggan

  11. SOLAR POWER • Conventional Electricity Prices Are On The Rise • Solar Panel Costs Are Way Down • Federal Tax Credits And Grants, Cut Costs By 30% • Payback Time For Most Solar Projects Are Cut In Half Ron Duggan

  12. HYBRID DRIVABILITY • Developed by Toyota Corporation • Cuts Fuel Consumption • Uses Regenerative Braking • Cuts Down On Pollution Ron Duggan

  13. WORKERS STEPS TO GO GREEN • New classes for electricians to learn about installing solar panels and other green technology. • With more workers learning about how to install these panels it will lower costs for the customer to afford to have them installed. Eli Fischer

  14. WORKERS STEPS CONT’D • New ideas that are being made by workers to make their buildings more Eco Green such as using rain water collectors used for watering the lawn, and used for the houses toilets. Eli Fischer

  15. THE POSITIVE EFFECTS • Thanks to the recent improvements on educating electricians on green technology it has helped reduce the costs for the home owner. • After being newly educated on green technology it has opened many doors for new jobs in the electrical field for those out of work Eli Fischer
