Decorative Light Strings

 

If all decorative light strings sold in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would save over 2 billion kWh per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 300,000 cars!

ENERGY STAR qualified decorative light strings — many which feature LED technology — consume 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.

Decorative Light Strings

ENERGY STAR Qualified Decorative Light Strings:

Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent strands.

Are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.

Do not have moving parts, filaments or glass, so they are much more durable and shock-resistant than other light strings.

Are available in a variety of colors, shapes and lengths.

Come with a three-year warranty, meaning fewer light string replacements.

Are independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical requirements.

Products labeled for outdoor use are subjected to weathering tests.

Some models deliver features such as dimming or color shifting.

Solar

Photovoltaic technology makes use of the abundant energy in the sun, and it has little impact on our environment. Photovoltaic can be used in a wide range of products, from small consumer items to large commercial solar electric systems.

Solar-electricity, or photovoltaic (PV) converts sunlight directly into electricity. You may be more familiar with PV cells as solar cells that power watches and calculators. But PV can do much more. It can provide electricity for residential and commercial buildings, including power for lights and air conditioning. PV can also be a convenient source of power for pumping water, electrifying fences, or aerating ponds in remote applications.

Department of energy information on Solar power

 

Wind

Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation. Humans use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes: sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity.

The terms wind energy or wind power describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.

Exploring Ways to Use Ocean Energy

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. As the world's largest solar collectors, oceans generate thermal energy from the sun. They also produce mechanical energy from the tides and waves. Even though the sun affects all ocean activity, the gravitational pull of the moon primarily drives the tides, and the wind powers the ocean waves.

Here you can explore the different types of ocean energy:

Energy Saving Programs and Tips

If you're in the market to buy new energy using products, look for products with the ENERGY STAR® label! The ENERGY STAR label is the national symbol for energy efficiency and is a voluntary partnership among the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, product manufacturers, local utilities and retailers. The ENERGY STAR label helps to identify products that are energy-efficient and, therefore, cost less to operate. These products include household appliances, compact fluorescent light bulbs, lighting fixtures, home electronics, office equipment, heating and cooling products, and windows.

ENERGY STAR labeled products exceed federal energy efficiency standards, typically by 13 - 20 percent. Furthermore, many ENERGY STAR labeled products such as TV's, computers and other equipment do not cost more than standard efficiency models. Some ENERGY STAR labeled products, such as heating and cooling equipment, may cost a little more but energy bill savings make up for the slightly higher upfront price, often saving 15 - 40 percent annually over standard efficiency products.

ENERGY STAR labeled products also help to protect the environment by using less energy than conventional products that cost more to operate. To find the store closest to you carrying ENERGY STAR labeled products, use the store locator or product finder feature on the ENERGY STAR website at www.energystar.gov.

Guide to energy efficiency and conservation
Please follow the links for more information on a topic 

 

Heating 

Check, change, or clean your air filters monthly during heavy winter use.

Have your equipment checked once a year by a qualified heating and cooling dealer.

To lower winter heating costs, set your thermostat at the lowest comfortable setting. A comfortable, cost-effective range is  66°F and 68°F. Each degree higher can add substantially to your heating costs.

Before raising the thermostat, try putting on a sweater or sleeping with an extra blanket.

Don't block air registers or air grills with furniture, draperies or carpets.

Take advantage of nature's warmth by opening shades and curtains when the sun is shining. Keep them closed at night and on cloudy days.

Weather-strip and caulk your windows and doors, Seal and insulate your home

 

Cooling 

Have your air conditioning checked by a qualified heating and cooling expert each year before summer starts to make sure your system is operating at peak efficiency. 

Change or clean your air exchange filter at least once a month during the cooling season. A dirty filter chokes air flow and forces your equipment to work harder, causing higher energy bills.

Set your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. A comfortable, cost-effective range is between 78°F and 80°F. Each degree lower can add substantially to your cooling costs.

Wait until evening to bake, bathe, run your dishwasher or operate other appliances that add heat and humidity to the house.

Operate the exhaust fan when you are cooking or showering.

According to the Department of Energy, using a ceiling fan allows you to raise your thermostat setting about 4 degrees with no reduction in comfort

Water Heating and Conservation

Set your water heater thermostat to 120°F.

A well-insulated tank will use less energy to keep water hot.

Don't use hot water in situations where cold water works just as well.

For additional savings, consider purchasing a high-efficiency heat pump water heater or heat recovery unit. Both are considerably more economical to operate than conventional water heaters.

Solar hot water heaters can reduce your hot water heating bill

Wash clothes in cold water

Run full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher

If available, use the energy savings settings on your dishwasher and washing machine

Consider air drying your clothes. saves energy, money and keeps your clothes lasting longer.

Take a shorter shower

 

Computer Equipment:

Learn how to set power management on your computer

Buy a Climate Savers certified energy efficient computer

Plug your computer peripherals (printer, scanner, speakers, fax machine) into a powerstrip and power down when not in use.

 

Electronics and Home Appliances:

Turn down the brightness on your TV and computer monitor

Look for and purchase ENERGY STAR appliances and electronics

Consider replacing that old, second refrigerator in the basement - Use This calculator to determine how much energy your refrigerator is using

Plug home electronics into a powerstrip and turn off when not in use. Or unplug appliances that you rarely use - when was the last time you used that VCR?

Don't keep your refrigerator and freezer too cold. Set temperature between 36-38 degrees F and freezers at 0-5 degrees.
