Journal of Life in Japan 5: Shower in the Kitchen

Journal of life in Japan stories are created as podcasts/audio stories. I tell stories from my past about the things I have experienced living in Japan. You can get a sense of what it's like to live in Japan from listening to my stories. These are stories of experiences from my past--a life I've lived in Japan. This is a story about the makeshift shower I had to set up in my kitchen and the ensuing havoc that came from doing that. Partial Transcript: I used to live an old house on the second story. It was an old lady's house and she lived on the first story and I guess she didn't the extra room. And she rented out the second story to me. And it was really spacious. The second story had four large rooms and by Japanese standards it was a really large rental area. It was an old Japanese style house, really traditional. It had a rock garden in the middle and wooden verandas on the inside and sliding wooden door, and inside it had the paper sliding doors. So it was a really old house and the beams hung really low so when I went from one room to another I had to duck, and I can't even count the amount of times I bumped my head on those beams. And since it was her house she only had one shower and the shower was on the first floor. Now I had a separate entrance up to the second story where my living area was and that entrance was on the outside of the house so I never had to see her. You know I just saw her once in a while actually, but we never had to cross paths or share any ...

How to Save Energy ($$) At Home, At Work, & in Your Car (And Help Protect the Environment)

!±8± How to Save Energy ($$) At Home, At Work, & in Your Car (And Help Protect the Environment)

Are you concerned about rising utility costs? Do you hear a lot about what to do, but don't understand how it works? This article provides simple tips to save energy costs and shows how you get the money savings.

AT HOME:

1. Turn off unnecessary lights. A single 60 watt bulb that is left on 2 hours a day, 5 days a week when it could be turned off will cost you at least .50 per year. Here's why:

60w X 10 hours/week X 52 weeks/year = 31.2 kilowatt-hours X Body.8815 per KwH = .50. Your cost: nothing.

2. Heating and cooling account for about 50% of household utility costs.

(a) Set your thermostat to 68 degrees for heating. Each additional degree of heat will cost you at least 1 to 3% more on your bill. If you normally set your thermostat to 72, that means your bill could be as much as 12% higher.

(b) In the summer, the thermostat should be set no lower than 78 to 80 degrees. For every degree the thermostat is raised, 4 to 8 % can be saved on cooling costs.

Let's say that your July heating bill is 0 with the temperature set to 72 degrees. At 50% of your utility bill, this means that was spent on air conditioning. At a saving of 4% per degree, this means that you could save 24%, or .40 on your bill by raising the temperature to 78. The math works the same way during the winter when you lower the temperature. Your cost: nothing.

3. Use an ENERGY STAR rated programmable thermostat. These thermostats are accurate to within +/- 2 degrees, and when properly used, can save you as much as 0 per year on your heating and cooling costs. Your cost: and up, depending on options, a small price to pay in return for such good energy cost savings.

4. Replace incandescent lights with compact fluorescents. The results are similar to item #1; by moving from 60 watts to 13 watts, you're saving 47 watts, but in this case, you get the same light output. If you use the light 20 hours per week, you will save at least .08 per year. CFL lights come in a variety of color temperatures; some produce more "white" light than others. If you're concerned about off-white light, try the daylight or hobby type CFL light bulbs.

47w X 20hours/week X 52 weeks/year = 48.88 KwH X Body.8815 per KwH = .08.

Your cost: Roughly .50 to per lamp, a small price to pay for the potential savings.

5. Check for air leaks and drafts at window frames, around doors, window or wall mounted air conditioners, attic hatches, baseboards, etc. An easy way to do this is to use a candle or strip of yarn; just watch for it to deflect. Use weather stripping for moving surfaces (doors, windows and caulking for the rest. This can save you between 5 to 30% on your heating bill.

6. Replace your furnace/ air conditioner air filter every 3 months. Dirty filters cause the blower to work harder and waste energy. Clean filters will save you between 3 and 5% per month of your air conditioning or heating costs. Your cost: to , depending on degree of filtration.

7. Use a water heater blanket and insulate the first 3 or 4 feet of the discharge pipe (more, if you have easy access). This will reduce energy use by 10 to 15%. Your cost: about .

8. Use ENERGY STAR rated ceiling fans. The up front cost can be 0 or so for each, but can save over 0 per year when compared to the cost of running an air conditioner.

9. Clean the air conditioner condenser coils and fins when you see grass and airborne debris collected on them. To clean them, remove the top cover and use a garden hose with a spray attachment. The condenser is the unit outside your house.

10. Fix leaky faucets; this can save you up to per year on heating costs for hot water. Your cost: About for a faucet repair kit, with o-rings and gaskets.

11. Rather than a timer or manual control, install a photocell to control outdoor lighting. They are much more accurate and do not require resetting as the time of sunset and sunrise changes. Your cost: and up.

12. Clean your refrigerator coils with a soft brush at least annually, more often if you have pets that shed. This makes for a more efficient transfer of heat and cuts the amount of energy used. Your cost: nothing.

13. Maximize your clothes dryer's efficiency. Remove and replace flexible lint ducting, especially the slinky-type plastic stuff. It holds lint and causes the fan to work harder. Open up the back and bottom of the dryer and vacuum it out to remove additional lint and debris.

14. Lower your water heater setting to 120 degrees F for both energy saving and safety. Your cost: nothing.

15. Shade is a great insulator. Maybe there are places where trees or shrubs can be planted on the east and west sides of your house. Leave the southern side more clear to accept the sun's warmth during winter. An added boost is that trees are great for the environment. If trees aren't an option, consider window awnings or window film treatments.

16. Consider using the lowly- but highly efficient- clothes line whenever the weather cooperates.

17. Go to the Homeowners section of the ENERGY STAR website at www.energystar.gov and take the home energy survey. You'll also find more ways to cut energy costs.

IN YOUR CAR:

1. All political jokes aside, you can improve gas mileage by maintaining tire pressure. Tires will have the pressure range stamped on them, and there will also be a tire pressure listed by your car manufacturer on a sticker, usually inside the driver's door. Check the tire pressures when they are "cold" and you haven't driven much on them. Use the pressure listed on the door sticker.

2. Rotate your tires regularly (around every 10,000 miles). This gives the tires longer life and helps ensure they wear evenly.

3. Check and if needed, replace your air filter every time you get the oil changed. Ignore the dirt on the leading edges of the pleats; use a flashlight or shop light to see how much dirt and oil has penetrated through the entire thickness of the filter. Replace them when 50% of the light is blocked by debris.

4. Get regular oil changes and use good quality oil and filters at the manufacturers suggested interval. If you don't do the oil change yourself, be sure to go to a reputable service provider.

5. Turn off the car rather than idling while at banks, ATMs, and other drive up windows.

6. Reduce air conditioner use when driving at low speeds in warm weather. At 50 mph and above, the engine load due to wind drag from open windows becomes more costly.

7. Go to the Drive Smarter Challenge to learn about ways to save fuel. You can also download coupons from ExxonMobile and AutoZone. It's at www.drivesmarterchallenge.org.

AT WORK:

1. Ensuring all air conditioning and heating equipment is performing according to specification will save you from 2 to 11%. Consider the age of your equipment, its remaining service life, cost of repairs and maintenance. You may find it cheaper to upgrade to new more energy efficient equipment. The best way to do this is with a life-cycle cost analysis.

2. Calibrating thermostats to ensure their settings equal the actual space temperature can save up to 3%.

3. Heat office buildings to 68° when occupied, 50 to 60° degrees when unoccupied. Interior spaces tend to gain significant amounts of heat from lighting, equipment, and people.

4. If you have electric reheat units, turn them off during cooling season except in areas where equipment requires humidity control.

5. Preheat buildings so that they reach 65° by the time occupants arrive and complete warm-up during the first hour of operations. In the evening, cut off heating an hour before the building is closed and let the temperature drift down to the nighttime setback temperature.

6. If you have a central plant with multiple air compressors, operating one at full load is more efficient than operating two or more at a reduced load. Set them up in a lead-lag configuration and rotate the lead compressor on a weekly basis.

7. Wasted lighting consumes about 24% of total lighting usage. Reduce janitorial services lighting use by having these services performed during work hours. Ask the service to do team cleaning, where each floor is done at one time rather that cleaners spread throughout the building. It can save up to 8%.

4 hours wasted per building per day X 7.2% of total building energy wasted x average cost of per SF for cleaning X Body.09 per KwH will save 160,000 KwH per year or ,400 per 100,000 SF of space. It will cost you nothing to implement this, and the quality of the work done and tenant satisfaction generally will improve.

8. Turning off equipment, harvesting daylight, implementing an energy awareness program, using work station task lighting, and installing computer power management software can save between 3 and 15%.

9. I can't say enough about the cost benefits of an active preventive maintenance program. Although the up-front costs in implementing such a program can be expensive, the increased service life and reduced frequency of catastrophic equipment failure more than make up for it. Want proof? Contact me, and I will send a copy of "Thinking Like a CFO: Analysis Shows Prevention Pays to you as a PDF file.

10. Everyone is plagued by a lack of time. Consider the cost of delay; given a business with an annual energy cost of ,000 and an upgrade program that could save them 30%, this could be as much as 00 per year. Assuming that the improvements would pay for themselves in 3 years, delaying the upgrade is equivalent to forfeiting a low risk investment opportunity at 27%. The savings will continue for the life of the equipment, usually an additional 7 to 13 years or as much as ,500.00.

NOW LET'S LOOK AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

1. Say NO to plastic grocery bags! A plastic grocery bag will last almost 1000 years in a landfill without breaking down. We go through 380 billion of these things, at a cost of 1.6 billion gallons of oil every year, and less than 6% get recycled. Please, please use paper sacks or bring a cloth shopping bag with you when you go shopping. You might even get a cash credit for each bag you bring with you.

2. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle. Cardboard, white paper, aluminum, tin, and plastic. And don't forget to save drink cans and bottles for the deposits. You could even save money on your trash removal costs.

3. Curtail unnecessary driving and carry out an energy upgrade program at home and at work. This will cut down on production of greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, and hydrocarbons). In the atmosphere, these greenhouse gases act much as the roof of a greenhouse, creating climate changes on a worldwide scale. Even if you do not believe in the existence of global warming, use of sustainable practices and green technologies will provide you with lower operating costs and a healthier environment.

If you take action to improve energy efficiency, there is good news. In 2004, Americans reduced U.S. greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 20 million cars off the road and saved over billion on their energy bills. Let's all keep up the good work!

How Do I Clean My Condensing Unit?

!±8± How Do I Clean My Condensing Unit?

This is not a hard job and on a bad day might take you 2 hours. When I did mine, it took an hour, with most of the time spent letting the cleaning solution sit on the fins and loosen up the dirt. Just so you know, the coil did not look too bad to the naked eye, but I had really high refrigerant pressures when I had my gauges connected to the unit. (A hint for the DIY person.)

A Word of Caution

Beware of electricity! To proceed with coil cleaning, you need to use the disconnect switch which is located near your unit, normally mounted on the wall in close proximity. Code requires one to be there, so if you don't see one, you might need to put this on your to-do-list. Anyway, make sure the unit is electrically isolated even if you need to pull out the multimeter and check. Also, go to the thermostat and move the lever to the "off" position.

Tools You Will Need

No special tools are required for this procedure. All you need is:

* Work Gloves, unless your hands are already calloused.
* Vacuum Cleaner with a soft bristle brush. Best to use a Wet-Vac, not the wife's vacuum.
* Screwdriver/Wrench to remove the top of the condensing unit and fan.
* Water Hose with spray nozzle.
* Cleaning Solution safe for the (normally aluminum) fins and coil (Household cleaners work)
* Breathing Mask, if dust bothers you.
* A few rags to rub down the unit.

Procedure

* Read this article completely before you start the procedure!

* Remove bushes and plants within 2 feet of the unit. Air flow to the unit should be unobstructed.

* Grab the digital camera and take pictures of the unit, top and all four sides. This is a fail safe method for documenting what the unit looked like before you started this procedure and can be used when you are completed.

* Use a hairbrush or whisk broom and GENTLY brush the loose dirt from the fins. Start at the top most section of the fins so the dirt falls down to other fins which have not been cleaned yet. The vacuum with the soft bristle brush will work a little better because it will collect the dirt instead of brushing it on adjacent fins. Brush slowly in the same direction of the fins. Do not bend or deform the fins by being too aggressive.

* Remove the top of the unit (normally screws) to gain access to the inside. This will probably also remove the fan and fan motor, so be careful not to yank the wires. You will have to reposition the top as you proceed with cleaning to get inside the unit better. Note: The top keeps the coil in the proper position on some units which may cause them to lean a bit when the top is removed. Just be careful not to push or lean on the coil once the top is removed and all will be good.

* While the top is off, do a little inspecting for discolored wires, deteriorated tubing insulation and things of that sort. The insulation can be fixed easily, but anything else should be left to the professional.

* Inspect the coils again, this time from the inside of the unit. Use the hairbrush or whisk broom as described above if you discover large amounts of dirt on the coil.

* Clean out all the dirt and debris inside the unit. Use the vacuum or carefully lean inside the unit to use your hands. You will be surprised what you find inside the unit.

* Spray the cleaner on the fins, inside and outside. Let the cleaning solution do the work for you. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes but don't let it dry completely.

* Spray the coil with the garden hose from the inside of the unit towards the outside of the unit. Normally a strong misting stream is best, but you don't want to open the nozzle to full flow which might bend the fins. Experiment with the nozzle pressure till you see a healthy flow shooting out of the opposite side of the fins. Try not to get the electrical components wet, even though they are designed to operate in the rain.

* Inspect the fins and straighten out any that are bent. You can use a dull knife (like a butter knife) or something similar. Just be careful and try to bend the fins one time only. bending them too many times will cause them to break off. Professionals use a fin comb.

* Put the top back on the unit. You might need a little assistance to align the top perfectly, but don't just put it on and push the coil with your hands, this is almost guaranteed to bend fins. Take your time. Get all the screws started before you tighten any of them. Make sure all the screws are tight, but don't overtighten till they strip. Use finesse and be firm, but not strong armed.

* Turn the unit back on and verify proper operation. Make sure there are no new vibrations or noises once you have everything back together. Be prepared to quickly turn the unit off just in case.

* Pat yourself on the back and remember the steps because you now have the bragging rights and a subject of conversation for someone who has never cleaned their condensing unit/heat pump.

Side Issue

I am the kind of person who has to document things. While you are letting the cleaner work, go ahead and write down all the information on the condensing unit name plate. You should find things like the manufacturers name, unit model, serial number, testing pressures and electrical data. The inside of the unit might have the compressor manufacturer, type of compressor, etc. I also take several pictures of everything: before and after, outside of the unit, inside of the unit, close up of the nameplate data, basically a picture of anything that strikes you as looking important. Then I run up to my computer, add a folder under My Documents and dump this information inside. I have folders for my condensing unit, my air handling unit, my tiller, my refrigerator, my oven, etc. Sounds like an overkill to most, until you need the information.

After Cleaning your Unit

When the coils of your condensing unit are cleaned, some people notice a remarkable improvement in system operation like colder air coming out of the registers, less run time of the system (thus less electrical usage) and a decreased humidity level inside the house. On the other hand, some people wonder why they even bothered cleaning it because it is so old or in such bad shape. If your unit is nearing the age of replacement, let me help you with solid advice about replacement options.

Air conditioners consume enough electricity to most of the devices, so check the cables and cords for damage or scratches is a must. The wires can be easily damaged by pets, the weather was the spirit of becoming tangled in other items of furniture and others. A broken wire must be replaced, as it may overheat, spark, and its causeserious threats like fire.

!±8± With cable retractors personal electronic devices

It seems that everywhere we look, the world is a tangle, tangled extension cords, holiday lights tangled, tangled strands of boxes, cables behind the computer desk. And not a bird's nest of cables that go with our mobile devices such as MP3 headphone cable, headphone and cell phone car chargers, etc. and forget

Have you ever wondered how clean spiral, carefully preserved in the computer is equipped with all the cables tangled on your own? Researchers at the University of California at SanDiego, a study of things such as strings (strings like. ..) and tangled knots published form. Your work will be used to understand how important the nodes that are formed in DNA strands found.

Sometimes things get a knot appears to be a plus, as in the aforementioned DNA, but in dealing with the portable device is a cable-clutter a nuisance.

From the point of view, the duration is one of the problems with cables that come with portable devices, which shareWire is very small. That is, are especially thin to be easy. The result is that the cables are subject to failure because of their low mechanical strength. Although the hand, pulling gently, each train of the line gives you a twist of wire inside the insulation, which could further weaken the cable. To make matters worse, these cables often come out of your purse or bag in a maze and sorting system of trains and cable supplemented by another, thePossibility of damages.

In the mobile phone accessory, some manufacturers have developed a method, invented by eliminating the nodes connected to portable devices and bulk material with a hook.

Retractors for stereo headphones, mobile headphones, 3.5mm stereo auxiliary cable, USB cable, car charger, and many of the cables we use to connect, sync and charge portable devices are used.

In the heart of the wound retractor is a flat metal spring-shaped coil and mounted on aspool in a rugged ABS plastic case. During the manufacturing process of the coil spring is tightly wound and held in position by an internal mechanism. Then in the middle of a straight wire is placed at the center of the retractor and the lock is released, so that each side of the cable to be wound onto the reel. To extend the cable to use both ends of the cable is pulled at the same time. The effect of the extension of the cable, the back voltage in the coil spring and a blockMechanism holds the cable extended. Simultaneously pulling on both ends of the cable solves the mechanical lock, and the coil spring pulls the cable back on the hook housing.

The center-winding retractor as described above synchronization for stereo headphones and USB cable charging, auxiliary stereo cable and all cables, which have both ends are connected to a device. Another type of hook is called the end-winding retractor used in car charger, where you end up with a plug for himselfa portable device, and at the end is another charger. The end winding retractor uses the same type of spring in the mid-winder, but the cable is coiled around the inner coil, like a garden hose on a reel.

In both cases, not all of the spring tension when the cable is released. Even when fully retracted into the box, the coil spring provides a small amount of tension to hold the cord tight and withdrawn out of the way, ready for the nextto use.

While science continues to make significant progress in understanding a complex world (and, indirectly, as a box of old rope in the garage to go Chaos) to continue design efforts in order to make real use of this modern science easy life, convenient, and in some cases even without the added bulk.
