25 Questions

1. Device that converts radiant (solar) energy directly into electrical energy. Also called a solar cell.

2. Systems of small-scale decentralized units that generate 1-10000 kilowatts of electricity. Examples include microturbines - fuel cells - wind turbines - and household solar-cell panels and solar-cell roofs.

3. Total amount of material needed to produce each unit of goods or services. Also called resource productivity. Compare energy efficiency.

4. Structure in which the energy of falling or flowing water spins a turbine generator to produce electricity.

5. System that - without the use of mechanical devices - captures sunlight directly within a structure and converts it into low-temperature heat for space heating or for heating water for domestic use. Compare active solar heating system.

6. Also known as Photovoltaic Cell; Device that converts radiant (solar) energy directly into electrical energy. Also called a solar cell.

7. How could we improve energy efficiency?

8. Energy derived from the sun in the form of solar radiation.

9. What are the advantages of biomass?

10. What are the advantages of using smaller - decentralized micropower sources?

11. Wing Power.

12. Also known as Material efficiency; Total amount of material needed to produce each unit of goods or services. Also called resource productivity. Compare energy efficiency.

13. House that is heavily insulated and extremely airtight. Typically - active or passive solar collectors are used to heat water - and an air-to-air heat exchanger prevents buildup of excessive moisture and indoor air pollutants.

14. Production of two useful forms of energy - such as high-temperature heat or steam and electricity - from the same fuel source.

15. Electrical energy produced by falling or flowing water. See hydroelectric power plant.

16. Also known as Energy Efficiency; Percentage of the total energy input that does useful work and is not converted into low-quality - usually useless heat in an energy conversion system or process. See energy quality - net energy. Compare material effi

17. In such a system - two useful forms of energy (such as steam and electricity) are produced from the same fuel source.

18. Cluster of wind turbines in a windy area on land or at sea - built to capture wind energy and convert it into electrical energy.

19. What are the advantages of improving energy efficiency?

20. Also known as Photovoltaic Cell; Device that converts radiant (solar) energy directly into electrical energy. Also called a solar cell.

21. System that uses solar collectors to capture energy from the sun and store it as heat for space heating and water heating. Liquid or air pumped through the collectors transfers the captured heat to a storage system such as an insulated water tank or

22. What are the advantages of hydrogen gas?

23. What are the advantages of wind power?

24. Percentage of the total energy input that does useful work and is not converted into low-quality - usually useless heat in an energy conversion system or process. See energy quality - net energy. Compare material efficiency.

25. Gas or liquid fuel (such as ethyl alcohol) made from plant material (biomass).
