Why were this Mississippi woman’s energy bills running $600 in the summer? She called the local co-op energy company to find out.

They sent someone to investigate. She explained to him that the air conditioner ran night and day, yet the house did not cool down. In fact, the house was extremely uncomfortable, never cooling to below 80 degrees.

After checking the attic for a possible disconnected duct and finding that intact, he turned off the electrical resistance heat(a.k.a. strip heat) in the HVAC system. This is where he found the problem: the heating and cooling system were running at the same time.

Are you surprised that your household is experiencing high bills? Then find out the causes here – http://www.energyvanguard.com/blog-building-science-HERS-BPI/bid/71261/A-Surprisingly-Common-Cause-for-High-Energy-Bills

Washington High School in Atlanta had experienced a very wet summer causing the school to shut down due to mold. When an environment experiences lots of moist wet weather it can affect buildings and can contaminate school with mold and low levels of mold spores. Having these problems in the schools can be caused by leaky roofs, humidity and gutters that cause water to drain around the building.

Mold can cause serious health problems like asthma attacks, allergic reactions and other serious respiratory reactions to staff and students. Mold can grow almost anywhere and not having proper ventilation can make this condition worse.  Mold can grow on almost any surface, it’s important to have those areas cleaned and removed of mold. There are many ways to prevent this mold from reoccurring.

Make sure that you fix any leaks as soon as you see them. Watch for condensation when it gets too muggy, vent any appliances that cause moisture to go outside. Dry damp areas with 48 hours to prevent mold from growing. It’s important to protect the foundation and make sure that the drainage is working properly and flowing away from the building. Taking these precautions can save alot of time and money in the long run.

US energy future unfolding?

While total energy consumption is slightly down, natural gas, wind and solar sourcing are up.  The most surprising change in US energy sourcing is that from 2011 to 2012, coal use is down 12% for the period.  Another interesting figure is in power generation.  Almost 40% of our energy consumption is used to generate electricity. Petroleum use is down a bit and nuclear has also dropped due to four plants being shut down.

While the trend is slow, it’s also clear.  Cleaner sources are growing and consumers, business and industry alike are reducing energy use. If you’re an environmentalist, this news is encouraging.  If you’re a consumer, you can find satisfaction in your energy bills.
