Unit2:waste Not,want Not

Sequence: listening and speaking

Write it out
discuss the following questions
1- what are the two main important sources of
energy that we use in our homes?
2- what type of energy that we Can use instead of
this two sources
3- What are the advantages of solar energy?
 Photovoltaic Panel:
 It captures the outside air and sunlight.
 Air Handling Unit
 The captured air is forced down by this tool
 Duct
 The air is sent through the duct
 Water tank
 To the water tank. The water becomes hot
 Floor and Underfloor
 The hot air is sent to the underfloor and rised
through the floor to the house.

Floor

Under-
floor
 Concrete slab
 The concrete slab absorbs some of the hot air and
releases it at night.
 Activity: GROUP WORK
 Write a presentation of solar home using the clues
provided in your book. Use the following link words.
 To begin/ to start with….
 First(ly), second(ly)…….
 Next, then, …….
 Furthermore, moreover, in addition…..
 To sum up, all in all, lastly, to conclude…
 Start like this: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our new type of
solar system. It is better than other homes because it is
environmentally friendly. It is totally operated by solar
energy. ……………………….
Correction

Ladies and gentlemen,this is our new type of solar

home. It’s better than other homes it’s friendly, it’s totally
operated by solar energy during winter, outside air is
captured by warm glass roof panels. Then, warm air is
forced into a water tank by air handling unit. Next, the
water in the tank is heated and greater quantities of warm
water air are released. The hot air is then sent down a duct
to the crawlspace in under floor area. After that, warm
water rises through floor registers to the living space.
Finally, Some of the heated air is absorbed by concrete
slabs when it is released at night. This process is reversed
during summer.
