     Extractions: Posted October 26, 2010 By Lucas Hamilton and has 2 comments. I was preparing for a presentation for Energy Awareness month and came across a startling statistic from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development about the amount of net income that goes toward paying utilities. The income level percent of net income for utilities is: For those of us who are in the fortunate group of wage earners (4%ers) this is reasonable but when you look at fixed and low income homeowners; this is shocking. Keep in mind that energy is the most volatile of utilities and is related to heating, air conditioning, water (don’t forget that cleaning and transporting water takes energy), cooking, and everything you plug into the wall.  For these reasons, energy efficiency is critical in order to insulate the group of people on fixed incomes from the volatility of market prices.  For the most part these groups understand the need to conserve energy. They are, generally, much more disciplined regarding turning off lights or waiting to turn on the heat or air conditioning. Think about the last time you saw your Grandparents waste energy (other than lighting 80 candles on a birthday cake.) In a previous blog about Aging in Place , which is the movement among older Americans to remain in their homes as long as possible, we discussed the benefits of low maintenance products for the home.  This energy statistic provides a wake up call for many of us to take advantage now of making energy upgrades in the home in order to minimize energy usage as we approach retirement age. If you are one of the lucky 4%ers, use your income now to get energy efficient while you can still pay for it. If you wait until retirement to get efficient, you may not be able to afford to do so once you get there.

     Extractions: CRUQUIUS MACHINE nederlandse cruquius website english cruquius website De drooglegging van het Haarlemmermeer was een immens werk. Drie jaar lang braakten de schoorstenen van de drie stoomgemalen die voor dit karwei waren gebouwd, Leeghwater, Lynden en Cruquius, hun rookwolken uit. Vele jaren geleden keerde bij de Cruquius de rust weer. De bemaling werd overgenomen door moderner pompen. Na een periode als reserve-gemaal werd de Cruquius in 1932 overbodig. Het Koninklijk Instituut van Ingenieurs nam het initiatief tot behoud. Zo werd het Cruquius stoomgemaal in 1933 een van de eerste monumenten van bedrijf en techniek ter wereld. In 1991 wees de American Society of Mechanical Engineers het Cruquius stoomgemaal aan als 33e International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. Er zit een heel verhaal achter dit imposante monument. Lees verder op deze originele Cruquius website met informatie over de historische en technische aspecten van polderdroogmaking en Cornwall stoommachines. Omdat het prachtige Cruquius gemaal de grootste en een van de mooiste Cornish engines heeft, is deze website voor een groot deel aan deze machine gewijd. Draining the Haarlemmermeer was an immense undertaking. For three years great clouds of smoke hung from the chimneys of the three steam pumping stations built for this gigantic task, Leeghwater, Lynden and Cruquius. Many years ago Cruquius was finally retired. The work was taken over by more modern pumps. After a period on stand-by Cruquius finally became redundant in 1932. An initiative was taken by the Koninklijk lnstituut van Ingenieurs to preserve it. And the Cruquius steam pumping station became an industrial monument, one of the first in the world. In 1991 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers designated the Cruquius steam drainage pumping station the 33rd International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. A fascinating story lies hidden in this imposing monument.
