Geothermal Technologies
Program
Watch how geothermal heat pumps
heat and cool buildings by concentrating the naturally existing
heat contained within the earth—a clean, reliable, and
renewable source of energy. |
Cathy Zoi, the Acting Under
Secretary of Energy, talks about the new Home Energy Score
system and how it can help homeowners save money on their energy
bills. |

A home energy
checkup—sometimes called a home energy audit—determines how
much energy a home consumes and what measures can be taken to
make it more energy efficient. Learn about the steps and
benefits of a comprehensive home energy checkup in this video. |
Wind and Water Power Program
See how wind turbines generate
clean electricity from the power of the wind. Highlighted are
the various parts and mechanisms of a modern wind turbine. |

Solar Energy Technologies
Program
Learn the basics of
concentrating solar power (CSP) technology and how it works in
this quick, easy-to-understand video. Highlighting the parabolic
trough, this video shows how CSP systems can be used to produce
renewable energy. |
Building Technologies Program
See how residents in the town
of Greensburg came together after a tornado leveled almost every
structure in the area, built numerous energy efficient
buildings, and installed renewable energy systems to save energy
and money. This video walks you through many of the new
buildings and lets you hear how the town grew back greener than
ever. |

Wind and Water Power Program
Watch how students are
jump-starting their clean-energy careers in Kansas by learning
early on how wind power technologies work. The video shows
students of all ages gaining valuable knowledge about this
renewable energy source. |
Biomass Program
An innovative technology that
converts waste products from the corn harvest into renewable
biofuels will help the United States produce billions of gallons
of cellulosic biofuels over the coming decade. It will also
stimulate local economies and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign
oil. |

Energy Savers
Home energy assessments can
help you save energy throughout your home. This video describes
several different tests a contractor may run during a home
energy assessment. |
Building Technologies
Builders Challenge calls for
home developers to create high-performance homes that use at
least 30% less energy than homes built to code. This video
describes how the Challenge works and how it can help lead to
net-zero energy homes. |

Vehicle Technologies
To
educate viewers on the differences between conventional and
E85-capable flexible fuel vehicles, MotorWeek's Goss' Garage
describes the various specialized components and materials that
may be necessary to ensure a vehicle can operate on E85 for its
full useful life. |
Federal Energy Efficiency
Utility Energy Services
Contracts (UESCs) are a funding mechanism used in the federal
government and by the Federal Energy Management Program to fund
energy projects at federal agencies. This video discusses how
UESCs work. |

Federal Energy Efficiency
Energy Saving Performance
Contracts (ESPCs) are a funding mechanism used in the federal
government and by the Federal Energy Management Program to fund
energy projects at federal agencies. This video discusses how
they work. |
Industrial Energy Efficiency
The
Super Boiler, an energy efficient industry boiler developed by
EERE's Industrial Technologies Program and the Gas Technology
Institute and Cleaver-Brooks, Inc., has provided average gas
savings of more than 13% at a factory in Alabama. |
