Geothermal Technologies Program
Posted On: December 29, 2010
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.
Solar Energy Technology Program
The video collection on the Solar Energy Technology Program's multimedia website provides a variety of videos related to photovoltaic and concentrating solar energy technologies.
Posted On: November 15, 2010
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.
Posted On: October 14, 2010
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
Posted On: July 27, 2010
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
Posted On: June 17, 2010
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.
Weatherization Assistance
Hear the stories of several people involved in the Weatherization business, and learn how these energy efficiency-oriented jobs are changing lives in towns across America
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.
