6 Home Technologies to Save Energy
Along with the development of technology, energy use also increases, especially its use in households. Household appliances such as refrigerators, irons, air conditioning, and many others require a lot of energy to use. This enormous use of energy has led some innovators to think for the future.
several technological breakthroughs to reduce energy consumption levels have been made. Here are some of these new technologies.
1. Smarthome
Technological developments have penetrated the property world. This is evidenced by the large number of home hardware such as air conditioners, lights, and others that are connected to the internet so you can monitor and reduce electricity consumption.
2. Ultra-efficient Heat Pumps
The Building Technologies Office is building a future heat pumping system that can both cool and warm your home by transferring heat from one room to another.
3. Carbon Based Clothes Dryer
This appliance will have the same concept as the previous heat pump technology but it can have another function as your clothes dryer. Oak Ridge State Laboratory and General Electric are developing a new clothes dryer that takes advantage of a heat pump cycle to generate heat that can be used to dry clothes.
4. Magnetic Refrigerator
Oak Ridge Laboratories and General Electric work together to build a revolutionary refrigerator that uses magnets to cool and lower the temperature inside. This technique is called the magnetocaloric effect, which means lowering and increasing the temperature using a magnetic field. As long as you know, refrigerators use refrigerants that are harmful to the environment.
5. Next-Gen Insulation
Insulation or insulation is one of the important things in the house in order to reduce energy in the use of air conditioning. The Industrial Science and Technology Network is developing a new insulation foam made from an environmentally friendly material. Later, this foam insulation can be more effective in preventing cool air from leaving the room.
6. Roof Made of Reflective
Thanks to developments from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and PPG Industries, a roof is created that can make your home cool because it contains a special pigment material that can reflect sunlight and absorb less heat. This innovation will clearly reduce the use of air conditioning to cool the space. (AKB)
