If within 10-20 years we perfected cars and heating systems that required no fossil fuels, what would happen? Let's remember that if such technologies were perfected, they would soon spread throughout the entire world. Even counties that seem to be behind the USA - like China and India - would soon convert to these technologies. So, if within only a matter of years most cars and home heating systems worked with an energy source other than oil or fossil fuels, what would happen to the worlds economy? What would happen to the Middle East? Would the short term consequences of this be bad?

Can Under floor heating systems be incorporated to existing concrete floored School buildings? The existing concrete floor school buildingis 5000 Sq.m in area with 3 storey's, located in Scotland. The space heating of the building is being served with a boiler located at the basement. Can this existing boiler be used to supply under-floor heating? If yes, can the heat distribution be controlled, for example by users or sensors? How much floor thickness would the heating coils need? Is it going to be very costly or would it serve to be a good solution in the long run? Can the heat radiated from the floor, be re-captured in the ceiling and assist in heating the floors above, hence saving energy? Are there any better solutions for heating an existing building built in the 60's in Scotland, rather than under-floor heating? I was attracted to under floor heating since, it does not consume the space required by the radiators, and that it may be expensive to install, but worth it over a period of time.

My home heater runs off oil today it has started acting up we thought we had just run out cause it had shut off on its own but it wasn't really all the way empty so we had it filled and my husband has had to prime it several times (suck the air out with a hose although it doesnt seem theres a lot of air) and after that it will run a cycle then shut off again and not come back on I know this is a complicated question but anyone who has experienced this or something similar and could give any advice would be appreciated thanks. The filter was clogged but he cleaned that out and it ran better for a while but it still shuts off. I would love to hire someone to fix it but its 10:30 at night and the wind chills gonna be below zero so was hoping for a quicker fix lol
How would you increase building interior energy efficiency using the same heating and cooling systems? In other words, how would you lower heating and cooling output of your existing AC/Heating? Doors, windows, and vents are already weatherized, and lighting, electrical Appliances, and plumbing fixtures are at maximum efficiency, and standard r-value insulation is installed around the building exterior walls.. The only issue is how much heat and cool air in the building is escaping through the building walls,floors, and roof.
