Go Green!!!!

Go green is the motto of this post!!!,so what can we can do about it?how can we help??just think of anyway which can help the environment in some way or other and try to improvise it.you can post it here in my blog and we can discuss about it.Recently i noticed that almost 60% of energy spent in an urbanized area consisting of home and official buildings is on Air Conditioning.Now,if we try to reduce it, we can save a lot of energy,as it is a huge chunk of energy consumption.There are some ways which i noticed which can help in reducing power consumption,but one of them enticed me to speak to you about it.It is the use of geothermal energy.Actually,geothermal energy is much underutilized compared to other renewable sources of energy.It is very reliable and cost effective.Geothermal pump.The main idea is to use a geothermal heat pump which takes advantage of the fact that at some point below the surface, the ground remains a constant 10 °C all year round. So, using this fact that the temperature remains constant, we can regulate the temperature
by the principle of heat transfer.This point at which the temperature is 10 degree Celsius,
is normally around 2-3 meters below the ground. The simple idea is to pump water into
the ground, which then goes through a heat exchanger (i.e ground) that collects the
heat from the ground in winter and pulls heat out of the building in summer, this takes
care of temperature regulation of the building. It can easily be built and integrated.
