| Energy To Carbon Dioxide Converter From National Energy Foundation: new link — The Home Energy Saver is designed to help you identify the best ways to save energy in your home, and find the resources to make the savings happen. The Home Energy Saver asks for a detailed description of your home, and then quickly computes energy use on-line. Results are provided in dollars, kilowatt-hours and CO2 emissions for your house and the most energy efficient house. By changing one or more features, you can estimate how much energy and money you can save and how much pollution you can prevent by improving your home’s energy efficiency. In addition, the Home Energy Saver’s "Making it Happen" and Energy Librarian" modules connect users to an expanding array of "how-to" information resources throughout the Internet. |
| How Much Does Your Vehicle Pollute? : new link — Determines your auto’s carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide emissions. Will calculate values specific to your mileage, or typical for the year and make of your auto. Includes additional information explaining the significance of the result and what can be done to lower emissions. |
| Lmno Engineering : new link — Have calculators for fluid flow and formula information, good for hydro calculations or water pumping applications (things like friction loss through pipes, etc.). |

| Aap Saint Mary’s Aluminum Recycling: new link — AAP Saint Mary’s (AAP) produces original and after-market aluminum automotive wheels. The process takes raw aluminum ingots and melts, casts, machines, and polishes finished aluminum wheels. During the machining process, up to 40 percent of a wheel’s aluminum is lost, resulting in 6,000 tons of aluminum shavings per year. Traditionally, these chips were trucked to a third-party recycler, who cleaned, re-melted and reformed them into ingots, which were returned to AAP where they were re-melted and reused. |
| Biochemicals For The Printing Industry: new link — Bolger Publications switched from using petroleum-based press wash to a vegetable-based product, resulting in a safer work environment and financial savings. To learn more about Bolger’s case study and the use of biochemicals in the printing industry. |
| Colorado State University Industrial Assessment Center’s Fabricated Metal Products : new link — The Colorado State University Industrial Assessment Center (CSU IAC) conducted an energy efficiency/waste minimization audit at a company that manufactures screw machine products for hydraulic systems. The company has 140 employees who produce about 38 million parts per year, creating gross sales of $8.5 million. Energy expenses amount to about 2.5 percent of gross sales. The major hazardous waste is spent ion exchange resins from the wastewater treatment area. |

| Appliance Reports: new link — Appliance Reports are brief statistical reports in which long-term U.S. trends in market share of air-conditioning units and about two-dozen appliances are compared with trends in each U.S. Census Division. The Appliance Reports are the only source of long-term regional data on appliance market share. |
| National Climatic Data Center Wind Speed Data: new link — Knowing where a high wind resource may exist is valuable to a wind energy project developer or potential wind energy user because it allows them to choose a general area of estimated high wind for more detailed examination. NREL identifies and gathers data for wind resource maps of the United States and foreign countries. These maps help developers or users find areas worthy of detailed wind resource monitoring. |
| Sun/Moon Altitude/Azimuth Tables: new link — Find out exactly what angle the sun is at anyplace, anytime. |
| The Weather At Keele: new link — Real time data from Keele University’s Automatic Weather Station. Contains temperature, rainfall, solar energy, and satellite images. |
