San Francisco Interior Designer Ian Stallings Says Green Design Choices Can Save Money and the Environment


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 17, 2011

Building on his work with the Conrad Foundation and the Gay Straight Alliance Network (GSA Network) to make public schools better and safer, San Francisco interior designer Ian Stallings found new sources of inspiration at Global Green’s 7th Annual Gorgeous and Green Gala last week, and is sharing some of tips he learned at the event.

Like everyone else, I tend to get caught up in the minutiae of my daily life and sometimes forget the importance of our environment, said Stallings. I do the basic things, like composting, recycling and using public transportation as much as possiblebut there are so many things I can do within my business to help the planet. Attending the Global Green event inspired me to recommit to those values.

The event facilitated connections between Stallings and various builders and manufacturers who supply the materials that he and his contractors can use for projects. Stallings believes there are many ways to incorporate green products into his designs and still keep them glamorous, fun, comfortableor any other ambiance desired.

Some of the tips the San Francisco interior decorator and designer learned from Global Green that he is applying to new designs include:

Energy saving light bulb

Energy saving light bulbs or Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), to be more accurate about their name,has been very successful in recent times,owing to their usability,energy efficiency,long life span and lesser harmful impact on environment and surroundings.Energy saving light bulbs or Compact Fluorescent Lamps generally gives same amount of light than a traditional incandescent light bulb,but consumes lesser energy and lasts eight to ten times longer than the traditional incandescent light bulb.Generally,energy saving light bulbs or Compact Fluorescent Lamps has a higher purchase price then the traditional incandescent light bulb however it can save over £30 in terms of electricity cost over the bulb’s lifetime.

Energy saving light bulbs or CFLs typically have a lifespan of between 6,000 and 15,000 hours, as compared to incandescent light bulb which is manufactured to have a life span of 750 hours to 1,000 hours. Energy saving light bulbs as the name suggests, consumes a significantly lower amount of electricity as compared to the traditional incandescent lights.

In UK and worldwide,Energy saving light bulbs have replaced inefficient and traditional incandescent light bulb. Traditional and inefficient light bulbs are being phased out worldwide; they are fast disappearing from the shops and the markets and are being replaced by energy saving light bulbs. Energy saving light bulbs are compact, bright, attractive and comes in a variety of shapes and size, depending upon your use, so the only thing that you will experience is better light and a significant drop in your monthly electricity bill. According to an estimate, currently a vast majority of the 600 million light bulbs that are being used in UK homes are inefficient incandescent light bulb. By replacing these inefficient tungsten filament bulbs with the energy saving light bulbs will not only help us save enormous amount of energy as a nation but also help us contribute towards the environment and fight the causes of global warming.

Today,all the stakeholders in this process,i.e. the government,retailers,manufacturers and energy companies are working together to replace the inefficient tungsten filament bulbs with the Energy saving light bulbs for maintaining and sustaining a better environment and planet.Tungsten filament bulbs greater than 100 Watt have already started to be phased out,thanks to the recent initiatives adopted by the European Union which lays emphasis on phasing out the tungsten filament bulbs over a period of next five years.The UK is already one year ahead, thanks to the efforts made by the different stakeholders in the process.In times to come, these energy saving light bulbs will become even cheaper, universal and sophisticated as more and more bulbs will be produced, that would also ensure the price of these bulbs comes down substantially because manufacturers will be able to produce it in larger quantities and make it more efficient.

Energy Saving Tips: Light up the World & Lighten Your Wallet at the Same Time

By Joel McDonald

The world seems to be all about efficiency and ways to protect the environment. You want to conserve energy, but sometimes it is hard to know if products are more hype than anything or if they are really worth the investment. You hear about energy efficient lights all the time, you see them in the store right next to the cheap light bulbs that you always buy. The light bulbs that claim to be energy efficient are more expensive so you pass them by but this is actually costing you money!!

Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) bulbs do help the environment, conserve energy and save money in the long run. These energy efficient bulbs use an incredible sixty five to eighty percent LESS energy than the incandescent bulbs you usually buy. This means that switching to CFL bulbs instead of the less efficient bulbs that many of us use, you can actually save up to 7% off your energy bill each month. These bulbs also last much longer than a regular bulb and so while you pay more for one initially you save money because they can last longer than regular bulbs which you would have to replace two or three times (or more).

Compact Fluorescent Lamp bulbs work differently than regular light bulbs. Regular bulbs use most of the electricity to heat up the filament inside of them which in turn lights up. Only about 2% of the electricity used by these light bulbs is actually used to produce light, the rest is used to create heat. A Compact Fluorescent bulb passes the electrical current through a mercury vapour which in turn creates an ultraviolet light. The light created is then absorbed by the phosphorescent coating that is on the light bulb which produces a glowing effect.

CFL bulbs turn over 20% of the energy they use into light so they require much less energy to produce the same brightness as a regular bulb. These bulbs can be used in your existing light fixtures and lamps so there is no extra cost to convert to them above the initial cost of the bulbs, which as stated above is made up for in energy savings and longer lasting bulbs.

Another choice for energy efficient lighting is to use LED ((Light Emitting Diode) bulbs. Light emitting diode bulbs are by far the most energy efficient bulbs available. These bulbs do not generate heat and do not have a filament. They very rarely need replacing and last longer than any other option. They are one of the safest choices as well because they do not generate heat there is not a concern of being burned or a fire occurring because of the bulb. Light Emitting Diode bulbs do require the initial investment and you may need to change the fixtures.

The return on your investment by the immense saving on energy bills and almost never needing to replace the bulbs is above and beyond any amount that you spend at first. You also have the knowledge that you are saving tonnes of greenhouse gases from harming the environment. LED lighting is becoming more affordable every day with the growing demand for energy efficient lighting and is most definitely the way of lighting the future for years to come.Energy efficient lighting is not only smart but is one way to cut down on your carbon footprint, save the environment and keep money in your pocket rather than the electric company’s.
