Lumens
a measure of the amount of light falling on an object
at a given distance, often referred to as “brightness."
unit of power, the rate at which a bulb or appliance
uses energy.
1000 watts (It is more useful when talking about
electricity use than a single watt because we use so many
thousands of watts.)
the unit in which we buy electricity. It is a
unit for energy. It is equal to 1000 watts used for one hour.
Kilowatt-hours are calculated by muiltiplying kilowatts by
hours used.

Water heating is a significant energy expense in homes. It typically accounts for about 18 percent of the average utility bill.
True
False
Lowering the temperature setting on your water heater to 120°F (49°C) saves energy.
True
False
Natural gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless,
a chemical called mercaptan is added to the gas before
distribution. Mercaptan gives it a “rotten eggs“ smell so that
people can detect natural gas leaks.
We pay for the electricity we use in kilowatt-hours.
Most residential consumers in Ohio pay about 11
cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity.
