Cooling, heating and electronic appliances all need considerable energy to run. It is estimated that homes today need 37 percent more energy to be powered than homes in the eighties, little thanks to explosion in smarter home appliances.
Tropical Regions are the energy hub of the earth. This assertion can be appreciated going by the established facts on scientifically proven evidences. According to Budyko 1980. Solar energy is the only source of energy for nearly all natural processes occurring in the biosphere. It can be safely concluded since all energy is sourced from the sun and the tropical regions has great natural supply of this energy, it is therefore an important energy hub of the world. This can be well established going by the distribution of other naturally free energy sources in the world such as Fossil fuel, wind, bio mass, coal and running water.
However, it is a misnomer to observe that tropical regions economy of the
world do not adequately exploit this area of comparative advantage to accelerate their development process. In tropical regions home energy need accounts for a considerable amount of national energy need. Ignorance and lack of technical know-how are responsible for how many home dwellers spend hard earned income on artificial means of meeting their home energy need.
With ample supply of free natural energy, home dwellers can save tons of money taking advantage of these natural sources of energy for home use. Appropriate technical know-how makes meeting home energy need, a fun while saving a lot of disposable income and resources.
What kicks in at this junction is the need to perpetually look for a way to intelligently consume energy. This new way of life shall promoted development in sustainable way-i.e not harmful to the environment.
A striking feature in all these is that these ways comprise of strategies which range from mere common sense to simple appropriate technologies which are not necessarily rocket science in nature.
This book critically dug into home design, building, maintenance and operational, to bring into limelight these grey areas. Contemporary home technologies, some of them as old as 100 years were examined. Ways of operations and maintenance to enhance cost saving of energy are suggested. New technologies are reviewed and presented while the future energy saving technologies are previewed and introduced.
Contemporary home based technologies such as thermostat, solar energy, wind turbine, air-conditioning and refrigeration, cooking gas, pumping machine among many others are duly evaluated.
