Metal Roof ......good idea? | 1-855-wanna-reno ?

Metal Roof , another green alternative to reduce the contamination.  www.1855wannareno.com

Metal roofs are synonymous with strength and durability and are known to have a service life of 50 years and more therefore they are more environment friendly alternative. Your cost will be less in the long run and the level of contamination by avoiding asphalt will  be reduced.

These are some of the advantages that you have to consider before you install a metal roof:

• Metal roofs are lightweight--less than 1/3 the weight of asphalt and one twentieth the weight of concrete.
• A metal roof won't rot, crack, crumble, split, break or burn.
• Metal roofs are made from recycled steel and aluminum material and are 100 % recyclable.
• Metal roofs have coatings that prevent 75 to 80 percent of the sun's energy from being absorbed into the roof.
• A metal roof can reduce roof surface temperatures by 60 to 70 degrees.
• Metal roofs are available in a wide variety of styles and custom colors.
• Metal Roofing is durable and maintenance free.
• A Metal Roof increases a building's value.
• Metal Roofing is an ideal platform for integrating solar electric and solar thermal renewable energy solutions.

Whenever you decide to change your roof, you should think about this option www.1855wannareno.com

Wind the future source of electricity | 1-855-wanna-reno?

WIND GENERATORS        www.1855wannareno.com

Wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. Once a wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes up only a small plot of land. This means that the land below can still be used. This is especially the case in agricultural areas as farming and grazing can still continue. Many people find wind farms an interesting feature of the landscape, views of wind turbines can be awe inspiring, to say the least.. Remote areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbines to produce their own supply. Wind turbines have a role to play in both the developed and third world countries. Wind turbines are available in a range of sizes which means a vast range of people and businesses can use them. Single households to small towns and villages can make good use of range of wind turbines available today.

In addition, wind energy can provide new sources of income in rural areas, as well as jobs for people who set up and maintain wind turbines or manage wind farms. Employment opportunities range from meteorologists and surveyors to structural engineers, assembly workers, and mechanical operators. Statistics show that every Megawatt of new wind capacity creates nearly twenty jobs.

Some of the concerns raised about wind turbines are not true. Wind turbines are not, as many people believe, dangerous to birds. A sliding glass door is more dangerous to birds than a small wind turbine. Wind turbines also have a very low potential to interfere with radio and television reception. All modern turbines, large and small, have blades made of fibreglass or wood. These materials are transparent to electromagnetic waves such as radio and television.

Your neighbours' concerns relating to wind turbine noise are important. No matter the size of the wind turbine, the potential for turbine noise to bother other people always exists. Even if a wind turbine does not emit enough sound to violate any noise regulations, the noise it produces may still be objectionable to other people.

The major challenge to using wind as a source of power is that it is intermittent and does not always blow when electricity is needed. Wind cannot be stored (although wind-generated electricity can be stored, if batteries are used), and not all winds can be harnessed to meet the timing of electricity demands. Further, good wind sites are often located in remote locations far from areas of electric power demand (such as cities). Finally, wind resource development may compete with other uses for the land, and those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity generation. However, wind turbines can be located on land that is also used for grazing or even farming.

Beside the disadvantages, we can conclude that this could be just another way to complement the energy generation plan of any country. Home wind generators can generate enough to reduce the pollution in the future. Something to consider because every single country is trying to get more energy to keep growing.

1-855-wanna-reno? Asphalt shingles bad or good?

Ways to Help

• 
  

  Asphalt shingles are extraordinarily effective in the protection and appearance of millions of homes. However, when they are replaced, they can clog up landfills. These shingles have useful components that can be utilized again through and efficient and effective national recycling network. Here's some quick facts about asphalt roofing shingles

  • 12 million tons created annually
  • 11 million tons post consumer tear-off debris
  • 1 million tons of manufacturing waste
  • contractors spend $1billion yearly in waste hauling and tip fees
  • clog landfills, utilizing over 4% of all space
  • require several generation to decompose
  • include valuable and reusable asphalt content
  • asphalt content can be used for road repair and construction
  • 
    

  
  If asphalt shingles must be used on a project, buying the longest lasting asphalt shingles and buying no more shingles than necessary can help lessen the environmental impact of the project. If there are shingles left over when the roof is completed, they should be donated to Habitat for Humanity and similar programs.
  
  

  Reusing or recycling asphalt shingles reduces landfill mass and pollution. Recycling companies process asphalt shingles for use in hot-mix, which is used make and repair roads.
