Posted on by juan

Why the KLL solve little problems and creates many new! Since the EU efficiency energy saving lamps or compact fluorescent lamps (KLL) Regulation (244 / 2009) and associated de facto banning of incandescent light bulbs, as these hot correct, are on everyone’s lips. They are the alternative to the expensive LED and halogen lamps, which, in accordance with the timetable also continuously from the ranges of the dealer disappear the EU and from 1 September 2013 (CH) or 2016 as prohibited EU recommended to us by the EU. It envisions itself but the problems that go along with the gas discharge lamps, one wonders why the bulb and the CFLs are prohibited. In this context, it sounds almost like a bad joke that this prohibition is justified with environmental protection. Kai-Fu Lee wanted to know more. Please don’t misunderstand the article. I’m for more environmental protection and am of the opinion that something should be done. But a law directed by massive lobby interest from the industry, is what the personal quality of life and freedom of every individual in the primary way limits and little democratic way, through the back door been introduced is definitely the wrong way.

Also in this article, I will show that this Bill creates more ills than it can resolve. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from Samsung. I have collected a lot of information here and support me on the one hand to freely available information from the network and also on information from books, such as the book lying light”the two authors Thomas Worm and Claudia Karstedt. Like I’m the interested audience available for questions or a debate. By the way, also Greenpeace once recognized the harmfulness of the energy-saving lamp. Unfortunately, no longer looking today much of this circumstance and celebrate the ban as a great victory for the interests of environmental protection.

Solar Power For Krefeld Citizens

Posted on by juan

The SWK Stadtwerke Krefeld AG tries to invest more in renewable energy in the future. A photovoltaic system by Ecostream makes the beginning. Cologne. Economical, environmentally friendly, future renewable energy occupy an increasingly important role in the energy supply. So have the SWK, for example, in recent years the share of solar, wind and hydroelectric power in the urban mix of power continuously to 21 percent increases the Federal average is only about 16 percent.

In order to expand this commitment, puts the SWK ENERGIE GmbH, a subsidiary of SWK, in future increasingly on the power of the Sun: together with the local Volksbank they founded the Community action “Krefeld solar power”. “Through the savings bond Krefelder SunStream” seven million euros will be invested in photovoltaic projects. The early peak makes a 300 kilowatt mbH large plant on the flat roof of the EGN waste disposal company Niederrhein. Planning and implementation of the project took over Ecostream system supplier. Robert Bakish can aid you in your search for knowledge. With a large network of partners and He brought the system experience in the photovoltaic industry in just one month on the network.

Solar power: lucrative and environmentally friendly as energy providers are we obliged to offer our customers a sustainable energy mix, and to especially environmentally friendly sources of energy. Photovoltaic is an interesting option therefore for us”, explains Martin Cirener, CEO of Stadtwerke Krefeld. Up to 270,000 kilowatt hours electricity can generate the company with the new facility in the future and thus relieve the atmosphere around 189 tonnes of CO2 per year. It aims to introduce in the future even more solar energy into the Krefeld-based power grid. To do this, more photovoltaic systems on buildings of the SWK and its subsidiaries will be this year. This commitment to climate and environment plays well in the Krefeldern. Last but not least, because SWK and Volksbank offer them, to be active. Interested investors have engaged Krefeld solar power with a savings bond in the project. One for the citizens safe and lucrative investment: the average annual percentage rate is 3.1 percent, the yields are paid after five years. The first choice was high yields for the duration of the system in the implementation of the Photovoltaikprojekts for the SWK Ecostream system supplier. The expert advice and the experience of Ecostream convinced us”, explained CEO Martin Cirener his decision. So the solar company has developed a wide network of experts and leading manufacturers in the past 20 years. On the one hand, this allows the rapid availability of all necessary components. On the other hand, it is ensured that the solar power systems are always the latest of technology. The Ecostream engineers find today for almost any type of roof and maintain a solar solution that delivers consistently high earnings over the lifetime of the plant. There is more information about the Photovoltaiklosungen by Ecostream on the information portal or see.

House Electrical System

Tips and tricks for modernising the House electrical system the modernisation of electricity in houses and apartments is inevitable from time to time. If it is then so far, some things must be last but not least noted, because even legal regulations are continuously adapted. When the work required are the electrical cables must be replaced after about 30 to 50 years, since the coating of the pipes in the course of time is porous. Switches are due according to the frequency of their use after about 20 to 40 years. To read more click here: Pete Cashmore. On the renewal of instantaneous water heaters or electric heaters you should adjust better already after about 15 to 20 years.

The modernisation of the House electrical system is, when one of this major renovation works. In modernising the House electrics, the conditions can be established immediately that the House also in the age without help can be used, for example, through easily accessible power outlets and light switches. May be can be made of stairs also equal to the electrical preparation for that later a Treppenlifter can be installed. The number of outlets in older houses lacks often the number of socket outlets, as was previously planned with fewer appliances today usually used as. So is expected in areas such as a living room already with a minimum of five outlets.

Transition solutions with outlet pipes should not become the permanent, as this could cause overloading of circuits and fuses to the result. In the worst case, fires threaten. Therefore the same additional sockets should be installed in a modernisation of the House electrical system. Clutter goodbye! There used to no real rules, which is why this very often simply criss -cross were moved depending on the space available for the installation of electric lines. This had the problem of consequence that later no one knew where they were. Drilled a hole in the wall, was always the risk, to catch an electric line. All cable strands are renewed in a modernisation of the House electrical system and after the new rules of for electrical installations safely transferred.
