Characteristics of Residential Areas Appropriate for Alternative Energy Technology Applications

Abstract

Energy is the ability to bring about a certain change. It is one of the basic elements of modern times that all community sectors need to facilitate daily life. Alternative energy resources are the energy that is not connected to water, electricity, natural gas and petroleum lines or networks. Nowadays, there have been many calls for the use of renewable energy sources to save the usual sources of energy that are depleted by human consumption and cause a great deal of pollution to the environment. However, these sources need equipment and supplies that represent a barrier to many to think about the possibility of their application either for lack of knowledge or the difficulty in predicting implementation scenarios. This research paper aims to design a map or a traceable scheme to help interested individuals to bypass and understand these systems and facilitate their application on a personal level by studying the requirements of each of these alternative energy sources, their equipment and supplies needed and prominent site features. Then discuss the specifications of the residential communities in which the application of the requirements of these alternative sources are fit if used separately by individuals or institutions.  That comes especially in this era where most of the State's investments are headed towards construction and development and to reduce energy-wasting operations and the use of renewable alternative energy sources.
