  1. Energy Conservation Samantha FerreyraGabriel Godinez Noah Jacobo Sophia Valdez

  2. What Is Energy Conservation? • Efforts made to reduce energy consumption • Types of energy: wind energy, hydropower, sun power, and biomass energy • Energy consumption causes climate changes, pollution, and a reduction in supply of resources like water • Conserve energy by using solar panels, recycling, and reducing electricity usage

  3. Solar Power • The conversion of sunlight into electricity • 5 types of energy • Passive solar heating • Active solar energy • Solar thermal energy like solar thermals • Photovoltaic solar power like photovoltaic panels • Concentrating solar power(CSP)

  4. Biomass Energy • An organic matter that can be made in biofuels, chemicals, and other materials. • Good for the environment since it takes out the carbon in the air and doesn’t increase CO2 levels • Provide heat and electricity

  5. Hydropower • Water power • Mostly used to generate energy • Convention hydroelectric is hydroelectric dams • Hydraulic power networks carry pressurized water and transmit mechanical power • Pumped-storage hydroelectricity captures the kinetic energy in rivers or streams

  6. Wind Energy • Energy made from the wind • Plentiful, renewable energy • Produces no greenhouse gas emissions • Wind turbines make electrical power • Wind pumps are for water pumps and drainages

  7. Energy Usage Causes Climate Changes? • Energy consumption has been linked climate changes due to many electricity related machinery that produce a lot of carbon into the air • Power plants, vehicles, and factories • Power plants make up 36% of United State’s greenhouse gas emissions • Vehicles emit 5.3 lb of carbon per gallon • Factories burn fossil fuel that produces ozone

  8. Increase In Energy Pollution • Energy consumption makes electric and magnetic fields that cause pollution • Smog and haze cause difficult breathing problems like asthma • Pollution makes harmful greenhouse gas emission

  9. Increase In Energy Pollution • Pollution harms fish • Excess heat energy and radiation leaks • Forces relocation of fish population • Changes migration patterns

  10. Why Conserving Energy Helps Conserve Fossil Fuels • Fossil fuel is energy and are running low • Saving and consuming less fossil fuel will save more for future use • Less energy used makes more fossil fuel available

  11. Easy Ways To Help Save Energy • Turning off the television, fan, and lights • Getting portable fans • Replacing old incandescent lights bulbs with CFLs • Sealing off unused areas can reduce or eliminate heating and cooling in these spaces
