The light is not utilized, which often exceeds 25% in some cases exceeded 50% (balloon-type lamps), we also have to pay. Obliges us to use higher power lamps are used as only a part thereof, the remainder being lost unnecessarily. This excess of consumption that must supply the power stations, is more fuel consumption and, consequently, higher emissions of polluting gases into the atmosphere, among other things responsible for the greenhouse effect is increasing the average temperature of our planet and acid rain that destroys forests.

Glare:

Light falling directly from the lamp in our eyes has an intensity well above that comes reflected from the ground and the obstacles it presented, we see them doing worse since the opening of the pupils has closed to adjust to that light intensity. Read the rest of this entry »

What is light pollution?

It is all the light that is emitted or escapes above the horizontal of the light in an installation of outdoor lighting. It produces a bright halo or glare on the stock, by illuminating the particles of dust or water the air contains suspended. When there are clouds, the basis of these is illuminated.

We will extend this definition considering how light pollution to all the light that leaks out of the area you want to illuminate, ie, all the wasted light energy, directly or indirectly after it has harmful effects on the environment. Read the rest of this entry »

By collecting solar radiation properly, we could get heat and electricity.

The heat is achieved through the use of solar thermal collectors, and electricity through the photovoltaic modules. Both processes have nothing to do with each other, nor as to its technology or its implementation.

Let’s talk first heat utilization systems. The heat collected in the sensors can be used to meet many needs. For example, you can get hot water for domestic or industrial consumption, or for heat our homes, hotels, schools, factories, etc.. We can even allow pools and air condition the bathroom for most of the year.

Also, although it may seem strange, one of the most promising applications of solar heat is cooling during the warm season, precisely when there is sunlight. Indeed, for cold is necessary to have a “hot source”, which may well be caused by solar collectors installed on the roof or roof. In Arab countries are fully operational and many air conditioners that use solar energy effectively. Read the rest of this entry »

Solar energy is the energy produced by the sun and is converted to useful energy by man, either to produce electricity or heat something (like your main application).

Each year the sun throws 4 thousand times more energy than they consume, so its potential is virtually unlimited.

The intensity of energy available at a given point on earth depends on the day of the year, time and latitude. Furthermore, the amount of energy that can be collected depends on the orientation of the receiving device.

Today is one of the most developed renewable energies and ethod used in the world. Read the rest of this entry »

Here is a brief overview of oars what this subject, and the fundamental keys to understanding not only why the measures are applied for protection and sanitation, but also the consequences of not meeting them reliably.

Causes of Contamination

There are two basic types of generation where this is detrimental to our support, regardless of the harm caused by each component or their physicochemical properties, but are generally classified according to their origin: Read the rest of this entry »

As many know, drinking water is a nonrenewable resource, and as such, we must care for and it is a necessary good for our lives, as well as for all living things, despite the increasing water Pollution is increased by neglect, and the little care that we have about it.

The sources of polluted air we breathe day and night from various sources but the main is that given by the burning of vehicles. Traffic is primarily responsible for the urban local air pollution, caused by nitrogen oxides and suspended particles that are generated by combustion engines and other mechanical aspects of wear such as brakes or pneumatic.
