Comment on Energy Audit by Abshir Horror

1] King is using too many energy

2] We can just go back to no-electricity time

3] I can go to my friend’s house to play video games and never invite my friends over my house to play. Because it will make me use the energy in my house

I learned that glass lets out most of the heat in your house and that you can use styrofoam like legos to build a house also i learned that an attic has to be rated atlesat r-50 and that jeans can be turned into insulation!

I learned that jeans can be used for insulation, two pieces of styrofoam with concrete in between is a really good kind of insulation, and your roof has to be rated at least R50. Two things I would want to put in my green home are insulation made from old jeans, and pipes with hot water under the floor. One question I have:
Is it more energy efficient to have your home spread out with only one story, or to have it be more than one story and take up less space on the ground?

WHAT IS STROYFOAM

I learned that a lot of green houses are comprised of mainly styrofoam. Also, I learned that ethanol can come from wood shavings and that Habitat for Humanity gets about 800 volunteers per house that they build. It would be cool to use those hot water pipes that run through the floors of green homes. The styrofoam blocks are also a great idea. My question is:
After the concrete floor is heated, how long does it take for it to cool down?

Based on what I learned at Habitat for Humanity, some new things I learned are that there is a new insulator made up of blue jeans, there is a type of cement that absorbs water, and that one of the new houses they are building, will cost 1/2 as much money to heat than almost any other one. Something I might want to put in my green house is hoses under the cement, to heat the house, and the LOGIX (styrofoam) foundation blocks. One question I have is: “What does LEED stand for?”

newthings=
that cement and styro-foam together can be really insulating.
that a lot of greenhouses comprised of mainly styro-foam.
using legos can help you when you work for habitat for humanity

Materials or designs!
where you heat up the floor with hot water and cement BUT you use styro-foam on it as well!
just put un-shredded jeans on walls it would look cool.

are the mats. expensiveÞ
