- behaviors of people
-location-climates
-size of home
-number of people - age design of home
-type of e available
What uses hot water in a home?

-dishwasher - sink - tub -shower
Major appliances
Any device,office equipment,sound equipment,camera/video, smart products, Alexa, game system
Energy
The ability to move something somewhere
Efficiency
% of energy that goes towards the goal
% amount of energy to goal/total amount of e
Energy efficient
The use of technology it does the same job but uses less energy. Major appliance
HVAC
Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning
40-60% of bill
Keeps temp between 68-73F
Appliances
Energy Efficient
High Efficiency vs. standard appliances
What’s the GPE formula plus units
GPE(J) = m(kg)g(9.8)h(m)
Ke formula and units
KE(J)=1/2m(kg)v2(m/s)
Work formula and units
W (J) = f(N)d(m)
Define energy transfer and energy transformation
Transfer - when energy from an object transfers to a object
Transformation - is when energy transfers to other forms
Write the transfer for E for the drive a nail lab
Rod -> nail,tube,block and air
Write the transformation of E for the drive a nail lab
GPE -> motion, heat and sound
Write the transfer of E when a roll a coaster brakes at the end
Car -> track and air
Write the transformation of E when a roller coaster brakes and comes to a stop at the end of the ride
Motion -> heat and sound
What feature makes up the largest portion of the E bill
HVAC = 40-60% of bill heating ventilation air conditiong
Why is it so hard to maintain a comfortable environment in a house
Heat -> colder place windows, doors, cracks, area poor insulation
In teh summer oils heating coming into your house or is cold moving out of your house.
Heat moves in
Describe the differences between a traditional tank hit water and tankless
Tank - heats 80-100 gallons 24/7, less efficient, can get hot water faster but can run out
Tankless - heat water on demand only , more efficient, can take a while to get hot water.
Go and memorize 21-25
