Rooftop wind turbines offer a relatively inexpensive way to participate in the rush to renewable energy. The principle allure is low installation cost. Typically, tower installations for larger turbines add 50-80% to the cost of the system. With a rooftop turbine, an $800 tower is replaced by a $39 roof mounted tripod, or a length of pipe attached to the side of the house.

According to Ron Stimmel of the American Wind Energy Association, “…rooftop turbines still account for only 1 percent or so of the 10,000 small wind turbines that are sold each year in the country.” For this reason, few performance statistics are available from actual owners.

It’s possible, however, to get an idea of the estimated power output of a rooftop turbine from the manufacturer’s website. For example, the Energy Performance chart for Southwest Wind power’s 200W Air Breeze predicts 20-30 kWh (kilowatt hours) per month from 10-12 mph winds occurring 6 hours per day.

To put this in perspective, 30 kWh is less than 5% of the power consumed each month by the average household. Overall, the payback from a single, roof mounted turbine in tangible financial terms leaves a lot to be desired; especially in light of the fact that unlike solar, there is no Federal tax credit for residential wind power.

But anyone thinking about installing a rooftop turbine(s) is probably aware of this already. The rooftop wind enthusiast is not motivated by financial relief, but rather the intangible rewards of pride of ownership, walking the walk, or simple satisfaction as a hobbyist.

Motivation aside, it doesn’t make sense on any level to proceed with a wind powered project unless the three following requirements are met:

1. Higher than average cost per kWh. The more you pay per kWh for electricity, the more economical wind power becomes. A rule of thumb in the wind turbine industry states a residential wind powered system shouldn’t be considered unless you pay $0.10 or more per kWh for electricity.

The easiest way to determine your cost per kWh is divide the current monthly balance on your electric bill by kWh usage (also plainly stated on your bill).

2. Building codes. Visit your building department to find out if there are any zoning restrictions for roof top turbines. Don’t build your rooftop system first and ask questions later - only to be told it violates zoning laws and must come down.

3. Minimum wind speed. Wind speed of 7 mph, or 3 m/s (meters per second) is the start up speed for just about every wind turbine. However, in order to get any “juice” out of the turbine, minimum wind speeds of 10-12 mph for 6 hours per day are necessary.

Although wind speed charts for the United States and Canada are available to help site larger turbines, they’re of little use for rooftop systems because the data is collected at a minimum altitude of 30 meters (98.4 feet).

However, you can get a good idea of the wind speed at proposed turbine locations by purchasing an anemometer (wind speed meter) for around $150. The kit comes with a rooftop sensor, 60′ of cable and mounting hardware for the read out display. These are not data logging meters, so you’ll have to keep notes on your observations.

If you’re really serious about wind speed data collection, you can purchase a data logging anemometer kit with tracking software for $400.

Depending on where you live, wind speeds generally fluctuate with the seasons. Readings taken during the hot summer months of July and August, when you’re begging for a breeze, are not usually a reliable indicator of average yearly wind speed.

Also, rooftop turbines located at the edge of a long flat roof experience much more wind than those located on roof peaks.

If, after a month or two of collecting data you determine there just isn’t enough wind for a rooftop wind turbine, you can always resell the anemometer and turn your attention towards solar.

Home Improvement with Alternative Energy Heating Useful alternative energy information since 2005.

LED Cabinet lighting continues to increase in popularity as more people realize the cost saving benefits and superior performance that diode-based illumination provides them. When one considers the extremely low power requirements of led lamps (only 20% of other lamps) and their extremely long lamp life (50,000 hours), their value becomes readily apparent to the decorator who holds both quality and efficiency foremost in mind. LED cabinet lights can last up to ten years and negate the annoyance and cost of frequent replacements. Because of this, LED cabinet lighting strips provide a highly sophisticated illumination for both decorative and functional applications. They produce none of the UV light emitted by fluorescent lamps and only trace amounts of heat. This makes them the safest form of lighting, not only for cabinets, but displays and shelves of any kind that house sensitive materials.

While in some cases it may be true that LED’s of the past were not as bright as incandescents and fluorescents, Phantom Lighting has changed all of this with revolutionary, new lamping technology that produces up to 50 lumens of safe, brilliant light. Phantom Lighting also offers the only adjustable cabinet lighting strips with a patented adjustable shelf wiring method. This delivers low-voltage current safely and allows for shelf adjustment without the risk of short circuit or shock.

Phantom LED cabinet lighting strips provide a full spectrum of color temperatures in order to accommodate both functional and aesthetic lighting demands. Warm white (our incandescent equivalent) begins at 2950K and ranges upward to a more bluish, daylight white at 6500K. The mainstay colors that defined the earliest LED’s—green, red, and blue—are also available in similar temperature colors. This wide range of color temperatures makes Phantom LED cabinet lighting strips the most versatile linear strip lights that can fully accommodate the broad spectrum of needs found in both the commercial and residential marketplaces.

As we have already noted, diodes produce only a negligible fraction of heat, even after hours of prolonged use. Works of art, exquisitely tailored clothing accessories, and even rare documents in museum displays can be illuminated safely and impeccably with Phantom LED cabinet lighting strips. The added benefit of adjustability offers curators and merchandisers the freedom to periodically change displays without altering the intensity of the light or damaging electrical components. This in turn frees the technical designer from the routine, technical aspects of repeat maintenance and allows for a proposal that focuses more on the creative and functional than upon the mundane.

Phantom distribution agents work throughout North, Central, and South America to provide lighting design companies with as many as six different LED cabinet lighting strip series in order to anticipate every scenario they will encounter. With the growing push for LEEDS certification, and California’s recent ban on incandescent lamps, the demand for LED cabinet lights specifically engineered for retrofitting has increased proportionally. Two important considerations have to be taken into account when retrofitting cabinet lighting strips. The first of these is the type of current used to power the strip.

Generally speaking, LED lamps are DC-powered lamps. This presents a problem for some users when it comes time to replace an incandescent or Xenon strip powered by an AC circuit. The extra costs of AC to DC conversion equipment, plus additional labor fees, are a needless expense for the client and a nuisance for consultants to justify. Phantom led cabinet lighting strips; however, solve this problem with AC low voltage transformers that power the lamps along existing circuitry.

The second consideration critical to properly retrofitting linear strips is their physical compatibility with the display housing itself. Phantom linear strips such as the AE Series (Adjustable Exposed) are manufactured to custom fit exposed metal tracks and to use them as power conductors in a complete circuit. This provides the seamless equivalent of a tailor-made product in spite of its function as a retrofit component! New construction projects benefit equally as much from Phantom LED cabinet lighting strips. Contractors who include lighting design as a key component to winning an important bid can line item our AC Series (Adjustable Concealed) in their proposals to give them a leading technical and decorative edge over the competition. These led shelf strip lights offer a low profile, near-invisible source of light that enables the new homeowner or commercial tenant to see the light, not the fixture. This is because the AC series employs custom buss bars that conduct power to each adjustable shelf, resulting in complete concealment of the wiring. It has become a fast favorite among custom homeowners who prefer pins and drilled holes to exposed metal supports.

The AC series can also be special-ordered with either solid metal trims for horizontal applications that require additional decorative highlighting, or it can be custom cut with a variety of specialty trims for custom under cabinet lighting or applications above eye level.

Regardless of the specific LED cabinet lighting strip ultimately selected for a task, please keep in mind that all Phantom cabinet strip lighting products, including the LED models, are engineered to minimize glare and hide the light source from normal viewing angles. All that the average viewer ever sees is the cabinet itself filled with an even wash of bright, glare-free light that shrouds contents in a warm, ambient glow. With a generous 120-degree beam spread from each light emitting diode, the resulting illumination easily homogenizes or converges to achieve a continuous linear light source. Ultimately, therefore, LED cabinet lighting strips with LED Lamps offer not only an equivalent luminosity to linear incandescent strips, but also a superior distribution system that minimizes the fixture and emphasizes the light.

We have been using the sun to help heat our homes for generations, and the design of homes throughout history have taken this into account. Modern technology has now completely changing the way this is done and with the rising price of gas and electricity making us look at some ideas that were in use before gas and electricity became cheap, but giving the ideas a modern slant.

For example, in the some areas during the 20’s hot water was supplied to homes by large storage tanks that were heated by the sun, until it became to expensive to compete with falling gas and electricity prices but with prices rising again the use of solar power in the home has been on the increase, and this idea is being used again but with a modern twist.

The simplest way to use solar power to heat your home is by the use of passive solar energy, that is ensuring that the majority of your windows face south so giving you the best chance of warming your home. This unfortunately can lead to certain areas of the home being to bright and getting to warm while other areas receive not enough light and heat. Modern solar systems can get around this problem by distributing the heat evenly around your home, so keeping all areas at a constant and comfortable heat.

The modern solution is to use solar energy to heat water that is then pumped throughout your home, the heat is released, keeping all areas of your home at a comfortable, constant and even temperature. The water is heated by passing it through small tubes that sometimes lie in small parabolic mirror-type troughs. This water is distributed throughout your home by running under the flooring throughout your home and giving you a even temperature regardless of location. One down side to this can be the fact water is used and if a leak was to occur in the system then it could cause damage to your home.

Another option is the use of air or similar gas, that can distribute the heat evenly throughout the home. Filling the tubes with air or other gas makes it possible to still absorb and deposit heat where it’s wanted. At the same time, because the gas is not a liquid, if a leak does occur there’s no major damage to the home and no major cleanup and repair bill. The draw back is that this isn’t as as efficient at storing heat as liquid systems because air is not as dense as water so doesn’t absorb as much heat.

If you start to investigate the possible applications that are available for your home and you’ll discover a wide array of options that will allow you to heat your home using the power of the sun. This help you save money in the long run, reduce your carbon footprint and help to stop Global Warming.

With inventory piling up and home buyers now faced with multiple home choices in the same neighborhood, the first impression your home makes is more important than ever.

It’s no longer acceptable to pass off unfinished projects to home buyers in hopes that the buyers will overlook the flaws in favor of your home’s more positive characteristics. Today’s home buyers care about two things: location and price.

To offset tough competition and make home buyers fall in love with your home, check out the top seven home staging secrets of the pros:

1. How are your floors? - The very first thing every home buyer will do is watch their step as they enter the doorway of your home. If you have dingy, wet dog looking carpet or severely worn hardwood floors you should replace your carpet/refinish the floors before putting your home on the market. You will easily reap the benefits of new flooring with fewer days on the market and possibly receiving an offer closer to asking price.

2. When you have less than three bedrooms do NOT convert one of the bedrooms into a home office. - Although home offices are easier to set up and the smaller furniture will complement a narrower room, bedroom space is at a premium in two bedroom or less abodes. Instead, use a day bed to show off the flexibility of the space while still showcasing it as a bedroom.

3. Share your views with the world! - Overlooking a river, park or private garden is a tremendous asset for any home seller. When staging your home for sale, move large objects away from the windows and keep window treatments to a minimum. A stunning panoramic view can win over even the biggest home buying critic.

4. Don’t interrupt the flow of the room. - Ninety degree angles are great in math but square edges create visual interrupters that catch the eye as buyers navigate the flow of a room. When possible, use round tables to create a visible, circular flow throughout the room.

5. Use rugs to anchor furniture. - Especially popular in dining rooms, stagers love to use rugs underneath dining room furniture to anchor the furniture to the space.

6. Soften hard furniture edges using pillows and/or blankets. - Square edged furniture can look very substantial and executive, evoking the styling of a boutique hotel room. Be sure to try different styles of pillows and blankets to soften the edges of the furniture and make the room more inviting.

7. Clearly define each room’s purpose. - Multi-tasking has become a part of everyday life for most of us and we tend to apply this characteristic to our homes. Clearly define each space so home buyers don’t have to think about how a room will be used and possibly lower their offer price to compensate for missing rooms.

Utilizing the steps outlined above you will be able to create a warm, inviting space that will entice home buyers to pay top dollar for your home. For more extensive staging or to rent furniture, consider hiring a professional home stager who will be able to guide you through the staging and, if necessary, furniture rental process.

Bedrooms are frequently redecorated in many homes. We look around at the new bedroom items in the stores and feel our room is outdated. However; when you think about it - it is only outdated because you saw newer items. There is no need to go out and purchased new bedding; unless of course; you are catering to heads of state. And even then; you really don’t need to go crazy and shatter your budget.

The quickest way to a new look is a splash of paint. Even if you use the same color (because you had paint left over), a fresh coat of color reinvigorates the room, makes it look cleaner, newer. If you’ve grown tired of your wall color, choose a new one. To start painting you need to drape protective cloths over the furniture. Most often – painting can cause you to think of others ways to rejuvenate the room.

You can also use wallpaper to change the look of a room; but it is much more work than painting. So; you may want to consider using faux finishes to spruce up the walls. Instead of purchasing books on faux finishes and decorative painting; check your public library to get some ideas.

If your budget is extremely limited, you might start by adding new pillow shams. Usually sold as a separate piece from comforters, sheets, or pillowcases, a sham is a highly decorative pillow covering. If you find a great deal on pillow shams you should buy them and fill them with plain foam pillows. Have you ever seen bedrooms in the fancy magazines? What do you see but; beds with loads of pillows to give the room a very sumptuous and relaxing look. The more pillows the better.

A new comforter or bedspread is another way to redecorate your bedroom inexpensively; but buy only during sales. Check local malls for discount linen stores, or browse the Internet for great deals on beautiful, but cheap comforters and bed skirts. Even flea markets sell overstocked items such as sheets and bedspreads and a great pricing. Of course; you can always bargain with the shop owner for a better price.

A simple way to create a coordinated look without spending a lot of money is to use bed sheets to make window treatments. Often, comforters are sold in “bed sets,” which contain the comforter, as well as a fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcases. Since you sheets will usually be covered by the comforter, you can use the fitted and flat sheets as material to frame bedroom windows. If you don’t sew, use the special “no-sew” fabric glue sold in craft and fabric stores to hem a nice edge. In a pinch, you can hold a hem using a hot glue gun.

Decorating or redecorating a bedroom is often a matter of changing one or two elements. Remember; if you have a guest room to make it as nice as your own bedroom. you want your guests to be comfortable. Try adding some scented candles and fresh cut flowers to the room to give your guests a true ‘welcome’ feeling.

It is a known fact that we make many trips to the bathroom each day. Therefore, it is important to many people to have their bathrooms safe, comfortable and attractive; which plays into the reason behind many bathroom remodels each year.

When it comes to remodeling their bathrooms, many homeowners also consider replacing their toilet as part of the project. There are several factors to consider when shopping for a new toilet. The other remodeling that needs to be done in your bathroom is one of the factors when choosing your toilet. When remodeling your bathroom, be sure that you choose a toilet that will compliment the rest of the remodeled room’s decor. One of the ways to create an attractive bathroom is to have everything matching; from the tiles to the toilet and walls.

The majority of bathrooms in homes usually consist of a standard aka traditional style toilet that is usually white in color and comes in two pieces. Standard bathroom toilets are also the most affordable style of toilet and can be found in most home improvement stores. However, if you are in the market for something different for your bathroom, you may want to do a little more research. Some toilet choices include a one or two piece toilet, a standard or comfort height, a gravity, power/pressure flush or flush valve, a round front and an elongated bowl.

One piece toilets are more expensive than their two piece counterparts and has a lower profile of 22 to 27 inches in height.

Two piece toilets are more affordable and are 27 to 30 inches in height.

Comfort height toilets, aka ADA compliant toilets, provide for easier sitting because it is the same height as a standard chair. Even though the tank is the same height as a standard height toilet, the bowl of a comfort height toilet is 1 1/2 to 2 inches taller than the standard height toilet.

A gravity flush system is a system that uses nothing more than water weight to generate flushing pressure. It is not only simple and quiet, it also requires less maintenance than more complex flushing systems.

A power/pressure flush system is a system that uses a pressurized air tank. This tank aids in the toilet’s flushing process. Power pressure flush systems are often noisy and more expensive than the gravity flush system toilet.

Flush valves are located at the center of the tank and is activated by the toilet’s flush handle. This releases the water that is held in the tank. The larger the flush valve is the more water flows through the toilet.

Round front bowls are suitable for smaller bathrooms and are more affordable than the elongated bowls.

Elongated bowls are toilet bowls that are 2-3 inches longer than the round front bowls. Elongated bowls are roomier, more comfortable and are suitable for bathrooms with additional space.

Even though you should be concerned with the appearance of your new toilet, you should also consider the cost of it as well. Bathroom toilets are very heavy and you may need assistance getting in inside your home. Some home improvement places offer free delivery while others charge a small fee. Be sure that you also keep in mind installation when installing the new toilet. You can have a professional install the toilet for a fee or you can install it yourself for less money.

There are many choices then it comes to your bathroom toilet. Not only do you have different styles than shapes, you even have your choice of colors as well. Even though many toilets do not come with a toilet seat, there are also many choices of seats available in every style and color. With a little time and research, you will have the perfect toilet for your bathroom that you can be happy with.

Do you have a bath rug in your bathroom? If so, you know that there are many benefits that this brings to your home. But of course, if you have never used a bath rug you may not be aware of what it can do for you. It is hard to imagine that a relatively inexpensive item could add so many benefits to your bathroom. But when it comes down to it that is exactly what a bath rug can do for you.

So what are the benefits of using a bath rug? Besides it helping to preserve your flooring or keep your feet warm when you first wake up in the morning, there are several important facts to consider. What are the reasons that so many people have decided to do this in their home? Listed below are three of the most common reasons that you should consider using a bath rug in your bathroom. If these reasons do not sound good enough, maybe your bathroom is just fine.

1. The number one reason to use a bath rug is the functionality that it will add to your bathroom. What does this mean, you may ask? Simply put, this gives you a place to step once you get out of the bathtub. Although you may have a bath mat, having a bath rug underneath is always a great idea. This way, you can be rest assured that 99 percent of the water from your body is not going to hit the floor. And while this may not seem like a big deal, it can help to keep your floors in much better shape.

2. A bath rug is a great way to bring color and excitement to your bathroom. If your bathroom needs a new look, there is no better way to do this than a basic bath rug. You will find bath rugs in a wide variety of colors and sizes, which all but ensures that you will be able to find what is right for your room. It may not be the best reason to use a bath rug, but the way that it will make things look is a definite advantage that you should keep in mind.

3. Simply put, a bath rug is much more comfortable than stepping onto hard floors. No matter what your bathroom floors are made of, it is safe to say that they are not going to be comfortable to stand on. But with a good size bath rug, you can make sure that your feet are always comfortable. Again, this may not be the best reason to buy, but it is one that you should keep in mind nonetheless.

These are three of the best reasons to add a bath rug to your bathroom. If you have never used one of these, you are probably not aware of how much you can benefit from them. For a relatively inexpensive price, you should not have any problems finding a bath rug that looks good, feels good, and offers a lot of functionality.

As you are probably well aware, there are many ways that you can use accent rugs in your home. And if you are not aware of this, you will want to look into the different options today. Although there are probably millions of homes that do not have any accent rugs, these have become very popular as of late. You should consider adding at least one depending on the way that you have your home and its rooms set up. There is a good chance that adding one of these will do a lot for the way that your home looks as well as the way that other people perceive it.

Here are three ways that you can use accent rugs in your home. Of course, feel free to come up with your own ideas as well. If you get creative you will probably be able to come up with several great ideas on how you can use these in any room of your home.

1. The best way to use an accent rug is to make a room look better. After all, they are called accent rugs for a reason. For instance, if you have a room that is all one color, you may be able to add one of these to simply “set off” the room. You will want to do a good job when choosing your color or pattern. This is what will determine just how good the rug looks in your home.

2. You can use accent rugs in ways that have nothing to do with visual appearance. Although most accent rugs are going to look good, you can also use them in order to keep your primary flooring clean and clear. Many people lay these inside of doorways so that people can clean their feet before they step onto the better surface. Although this is not something that you will want to do with an expensive accent rug, it is an option that you should consider nonetheless. You might as well keep your primary floor as clean as possible, and with the use of an accent rug you can do this without any problems at all.

3. Use accent rugs if you have hardwood, tile, or concrete floors. Even though you may like the way that these floors look, when you use a rug you will be able to break things up a bit. Not to mention the fact that it will also bring an added level of comfort to your home. Even if you do not mind walking on a harder surface, there are times when an accent rug can go a long way in making things more comfortable for you.

These are three of the best ways that you can use accent rugs in your home. There is no rule on where you can put these. Some people only want to buy accent rugs for rooms that people will see, whereas others like to put them all over. You need to decide on your own where you will place these.

All in all, accent rugs offer many benefits as long as you take the time to place the right ones in your home. Get creative, and you may be surprised at what they can do for your home!

Throw rugs: what more can you say about them? There are so many benefits of throw rugs that you could go on forever talking about them. But with that being said, there are still some people who do not have any of these in their home; and that is fine. When it comes down to it, there are some people who think that these do not fit in with what they are trying to accomplish on the inside of their home. But guess what? Until you look into what throw rugs have to offer, you will never really know what they could do for you.

The first thing that you need to consider is the affordability that surrounds the majority of the throw rugs on the market today. When it comes to saving money, while also keeping your floors looking good, this is one option that you probably want to look into. For instance, take the time to compare the cost of a couple throw rugs to the cost of getting wall to wall carpet. You will find out soon enough that you could save hundreds, maybe even thousands, by deciding to use throw rugs. And with that being said, you should know that they are far from being cheap in appearance. In fact, many people feel that adding throw rugs will give their room a much more high class look when compared to the simple use of wall to wall carpeting or hardwood floors.

Now that you are aware of the affordability, you should consider the benefits of using these. As mentioned above, when you use throw rugs you can really take the look of any room to the next level. Many people use these in family rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, basements, as well as other areas. The fact of the matter is that if you own a home, there is a good chance that you can find a place for at least one throw rug.

Additionally, throw rugs are a great way to protect the floors in your home. Is a certain area of your wall to wall carpeting wearing down? Maybe the area where the carpet leads to the outside? If so, you can buy an accent throw rug to put in that spot. Not only will this help to cover up the spot that has been damaged, but it will also go a long way in preventing future problems.

Finally, since throw rugs come in different sizes, styles, and colors, you will be able to find the perfect option for your home. There is no reason to think that you will not be able to find a throw rug that suits your home. Remember, there are both land based and online stores that sell hundreds of different types of throw rugs. This will allow you to find the one that is perfect.

Overall, throw rugs are affordable and offer many benefits to you and your home. If for any reason you think that a throw rug is right for you, look into buying one today. With a large selection, as well as prices that anybody can afford, there is no reason to pass these by for any longer.
