Learn About Home Energy Savings and Heating and Cooling Innovations
Genteq™, a leading developer of motors for home heating and cooling systems, has launched GenteqComfort, a Web site devoted to educating homeowners about home comfort options and introducing them to home energy efficiency and savings opportunities
“Homeowners often just live with draftiness or other comfort issues in their homes, without realizing all the options available to address home comfort,” says Paul Selking, HVAC industry leader at Genteq. “Our goal is to educate homeowners about the most recent innovations in home heating and cooling, and what that can mean for home comfort.”
GenteqComfort helps homeowners understand how their heating and cooling systems work, covering common terminology like variable-speed blower motors, ductwork, HEPA filters, energy recovery ventilators and zone controls/thermostats. This information helps consumers troubleshoot common issues in their homes, such as hot and cold spots throughout the house; draftiness; dry air and static electricity; air quality and allergens; and high utility bills.
Quizzes and online calculators give the homeowner hands-on activities to explore the site.
* Comfortometer – Helps the homeowner determine whether the home is at optimum comfort
* Going green – Shows the homeowner how to save money room by room with just a few eco-friendly adjustments
* Retrofitting your home to be more comfortable – Presents ideas for adjustments that make a home more comfortable
* New construction decision-making – Details issues and solutions important to those building a new home

[Transport]
Ever hear of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles? Neither have I. In fact, when the program came into existence under President Clinton in 1993, I was just 7 years old. I knew nothing of cars or fuel efficiency. This program involved the three major U.S. automakers and eight Federal Agencies. The initiative was to produce several high-mileage concept cars to be put into production by 2003, and each of the automakers deliver. GM came up with the Precept, Chrysler the ESX II, and Ford developed the Prodigy. Each was a hybrid vehicle capable of delivering about 80 mpg.

It's a good thing too because according to a study that they carried out, Brit's spend an average of 43 hours a week sitting around on their sofa, even in summer. It gets worse: in some places it's 50 t... Read the full story on TreeHugger [TreeHugger Food]
