Hi I want to tell you my idea to save energy.  I thought that we could put in air vents on ground floor with Radiators in the air vents and the heat will go up  the vents and to the top floors and the cold air will go back down the air vents.  This would mean we needed less heaters on top floor classrooms.

Tinted Windows

In class we are learning about insulation and my idea is Tinted Windows. Dark colours absorb heat & light so if we tint the windows then we are cutting down on costs for heating & also saving energy. The windows can be adjusted by remote control to let more or less light and heat into the room.
<-The 2 Windows that are further away are tinted and the nearest isn't.


<- It is the other way round with these Windows

consumed shades

My idea is to get thick, non-porous light shades to trap the heat inside the shade. It will then have a switch which lets you radiate trapped heat from the sun into the room when it is cold so it will heat up the room. The shades will also have lights in them that can be charged by the Sun. To change the bulb you have to unscrew the bottom. Once you have put the new bulb in you have to screw the bottom back on the shade. Be careful to put it on properly.

Reflector Panels and curtains over the radators

The idea that i have is to trap heat in reflector panels. My reflector panels would bounce heat from outside into the room because you would put them on the window sill and angle them so that they reflected light and heat into the room.

One other idea I have to save heat is to keep curtains away from the radiators because if you put the curtains over the radiators the heat will get trapped in the curtains, rushes up the curtains and if the window is opened the heat will go out the window.

insulation

Carpets
This carpet can trap heat like wool, just like a sheep. Sheep can insulate heat with wool and their body stays warm. This is why people shave off the wool in summer. They must be boiling!

Closing Doors
Closing doors can also help trap the heat to keep the room nice and warm. Especially when theres a lot of people in the room. You know body heat!

Heavy Curtains
Heavy curtains insulate heat by keeping it in. Just remember don't let the curtain fall over the radiator because the warmth will be trapped next to the window

Le Insulating Carpet

A sample of carpet

This is a carpet that can absorb heat and let it out when it gets to a certain temperature. You may programme it to whatever temperature you want. Lets say you chose 25 degrees. When it gets above 25 degrees the carpet will absorb the heat. If it gets below 25 degrees it will let the heat out. It will let in/out heat until the room is at the right temperature. If you wish you can also adjust the temperature at which it absorbs or radiates heat.

Ligheat

Ligheat is a device which is a combined heater and source of light.
It is controlled by two separate switches for light and heat. This means you can have light without heat, light and heat and heat without light.
