On the wish list: A tuner-style EV
Okay, here goes. The 2009 To-Do-List:
¤ Do monthly tests and reviews of energy saving products.
¤ Plan and start a EV conversion.
¤ Build at least 3-4 DIY projects.
¤ Update websites and release currently unfinished ones.
¤ Stop being a lazyass and start the projects now.
So, hopefully a summary in the early 2010 will show that I’ve done well.
I’m just a bit stressful before Christmas. A lot to do, have had the opportunity to work some hours for a company involved with interior design and stuff. I help with deliveries and mounting the chairs and tables, much new to learn. Anyway, that’s whats keeping me busy and I should be back to unemployed full-time-blogger in January.
Until then, Merry Xmas and a happy new year!
Solar panels
I read in my newspaper that the local library and two of the schools will be installing solar panels on their roofs. The solar panels (PV panels) will be used to run ventilation and heating and generates per year the same amount of electricity as five regular villas consume. Unfortenatly I can’t find the article online but in my search for that I found another article about the university, LiU.
LiU has had their energy consumption under the magnifying glass for quite some time now. Since 2004 the total energy use for all of campus has been the same, but they have put up new buildings so the total of used energy per square meter has dropped a lot.
Efforts have been made in installing energy efficient lightning and ventilation and the electricity is bought from sustainable sources. As the first university building in the county LiU has installed PV solar panels on the roof of building A. One third is covered and the panels is calculated to leave 50 000kWh per year (meaning up to 20% of the total electricity consumed in a year for that building).
