What is Energy?
![Page 4: Energy 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b8de434a7959313c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is Energy? Def. the capacity of a system to do
work. Potential Energy – Electricity and
Heat Kinetic Energy – Moving mass

Energy words
Watt (W) [or Kilowatt (kW) = 1000 W] Unit of power, rate of usage Light bulbs, hairdryers and blenders
Kilowatt Hour (kWh) Unit of energy, amount of usage Power over time Seen on energy bills

Energy words
Btu British Thermal Unit Energy – amount of usage Raise 1lb of water 1˚F 1 Btu = Burning a match 1,000 Btu ≈ 1 cubic foot of natural
gas 100,000 Btu = 1 Therm

A million different ratings… (S)EER – (Seasonal) Energy Efficiency
Rating (S)EER = # of Btu per Wh SEER = EER ÷ 0.9 = COP x 3.792 Higher is better SEER 13 is minimum for AC units from 2005
COP – Coefficient of Performance COP = Work Output per Energy Input Higher is better Found on heat pumps

A million different ratings… % Efficient
The ratio of the work done to the energy supplied to it
Most clear rating A very general term (cars, motors, etc.)
Efficacy Amount of Lumens per Watt Incandescent – 17 Lumens/Watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) – 70 Lum/W CFLs have about 4X higher Efficacy
(4X “more efficient”)

Where does energy come from?
U.S. Energy Flow- Key Points 1/3 of our total energy supply is imported. 85% of the total energy we use is in the
form of fossil fuels. The percent total energy use of each
sector: Residential- 21% Commercial- 18% Industrial- 32% Transportation- 28%

Where does energy come from?
Electricity Half of our electricity comes from coal. The rest is from natural gas, nuclear, and
some renewables. Majority of energy used to make
electricity is domestic. 65% of the energy is lost in
conversion, transmission, and distribution!!!

Where does energy come from?
Electricity from coal or natural gas1. Fuel is burned to produce
heat to boil water.2. The steam from the
boiling water spins a large fan called a turbine.
3. The turbine rotates a large magnet to create an electrical charge.

Where does energy come from?
Electricity from nuclear1. Uranium atoms are split in a process
called fission. Fission releases energy that can be used to make steam.
2. The steam from the boiling water spins a large fan called a turbine.
3. The turbine rotates a large magnet to create an electrical charge.

Mix of clay, sand, water, and bitumen Bitumen is a viscous, solid or semisolid form
of oil Usually mined through strip or open pit
mining Requires a large amount of water and energy

Natural Gas Primarily composed of methane. Burns “clean”- emits lower levels of
harmful byproducts than other gases. Found in underground reservoirs. LNG is Liquid Natural Gas, which must be
kept at -260°F. LNG can be shipped and stored easier
than in gaseous form- takes up 1/600th of the volume.
