ISSUES
A 25% redction of foreign oil imports woldcase the price of oil to increase.
This in trn wold case the cost of heating ahome !that ses oil for its heat" to increase.
Also# the price of gas at the pmps wold increase#creating greater monthly e$penses for all whodrive.
Energy efficient homes create other benefits notrelated to oil.

CONCLUSIONS
Energy efficient homes can dramatically
decrease the cost of maintaining the
average home.
Energy efficient homes also have the
benefit of sing renewable energy sorces#which conserves e$isting energy resorces.

BACKGROUND
ndstries aside# or homes are the chief
consmers of many energy sorces.
The amont of energy wasted &st throgh poorly inslated
windows and doors is abot as mch energy as we get from the
Alas'an (ipeline each year.
The amont of electricity generated by fossil fels for a singlehome pts more carbon dio$ide into the air than two average
cars.

Almost every home in the UnitedStates could be powered byrenewable energy of some kind to
a greater or lesser extent. Converting existing homes to
energy-ecient homes and
building only new homes which areenergy-ecient would result in amyriad of bene!ts both long termand short.

onstrction of a new home can ta'e advantage of a
concept 'nown as 1hole +ilding esign.3
1hole +ilding esign3 ta'es an integrative approach to
bilding design so that all elements of the bilding help
achieve an optimal energy performance. The bilding has
to interact effectively with the otdoor environment 4 a
concept 'nown as climate-responsive architectre.
1hole +ilding esign3 combines Energy-Efficiency
with ,olar Technologies to boost energy savings# and it
redces the amont of energy re)ired to operate a home
compared to conventional hoses.

E H67E, !cont." (assive ,olar esign
s the technology of heating# cooling# and lighting a bilding
natrally with snlight rather than with mechanical systems.
,ome design featres inclde large soth-facing windows and
bilding materials that absorb and slowly release the sn8s heat.
t can also involve the se of (hotovoltaic !(9" technology. (9
is basically :solar electricity: that reslts from converting
snlight into energy.
(9 systems help preserve the Earth8s finite fossil-fel resorces
sch as coal# oil# and natral gas. t also helps redce air and
water polltion associated with these energy sorces.
