    In the 21st century, global warming, which is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide gases that forms from burning fuels in the atmosphere, is a serious threat to the Earth. As National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2006) statistics show, energy consumption is done principally by buildings in the U.S. This research intends to decrease the percentage of carbon emission by developing zero carbon homes. Berry,S. et. al. (2013) define zero carbon homes as having no need for fossil fuel for heating…

    fuels for renewable energy. Problems including the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere and the inevitable depletion of these nonrenewable energy sources have motivated a handful of countries to start the transition. Notably, Sweden has goals to “increase renewable energy to 50 percent of national supply by 2020,” reducing its need for environmentally harmful, nonrenewable sources, like oil ("Energy Use in Sweden"). While Sweden has made great strides in switching to renewable energy…

    group including ours. There are different generations of biofuels which are classified based on the carbon source derivation. The first generation is the carbon source directly extracted from the plant. The second generation is the one obtained from non-food crops but from cellulosic matter, and finally the third generation is the one that derives from aquatic organism such as algae (5). The use production of biofuels yields a positive net energy, with ethanol yielding up to 25% more than its…

Hence, wind can be put into greater use of generating absolute amounts of dynamism. With that, wind energy has been around for ages and it is considered that as early as 200 B.C., China used windmills to transport water and make grain (“History of Wind Energy”). Over time, windmills progressed to be refined and the Dutch constructed the more contemporary…
