  1. Visual vocabulary kiara scales

  2. Potential energy • the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Compare with kinetic energy .

  3. Kinetic energy • Energy an object has because of its mass and velocity. Objects that don't move have no kinetic energy. (Kinetic Energy=0.5* mass*velocity2.

  4. Joule • The si unit of energy

  5. Wattage • Wattage is a unit of measurement for electricity. It is used for telling you how much electricity something will use. Take for example a light bulb. If you have a 75-watt light bulb it will put off 75 watts of light since that is it's capac...

  6. Renewable energy • any naturally occurring, theoretically inexhaustible source of energy, as biomass, solar, wind, tidal, wave, and hydroelectric power, that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel.

  7. Nonrenewable energy energy the is not renewable such as fossil fuels and gas.

  8. Weatherstripping • a strip of rubber, metal, or other material used to seal the edges of a door or window against rain and wind.

  9. insulation • Types of foams used for houses so the air won’t come through.

  10. RFactor • RFactor is a computer racing simulator designed with the ability to run any type of four-wheeled vehicle from street cars to open wheel cars of any era

  11. Greenhouse emmissions • Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range.

  12. Thermostat • A thermostat is a device for regulating the temperature of a system so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint temperature.

  13. Ambient temperture • Room temperature is a common term to denote a certain temperature within enclosed space to which humans are accustomed. Room temperature is thus often indicated by general human comfort, with the common range of 20 °C (68 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F), though climate may acclimatize people to higher or lower temperatures

  14. efficiency • Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is using less energy to provide the same level of energy service. For example, insulating a home allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature

  15. Carbon footprint • A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product" [1]. For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted

  16. Audit • The general definition of an audit is an evaluation of a person, organization, system, process, enterprise, project or product
