And on the other hand, due to the Regulations and new Energy Efficiency Directives established by the European Union. Increase of the Energy Costs in Companies Surely you have noticed that efficient energy management is no longer just a practice to preserve resources and reduce emissions, but it ...
These forward-thinking companies are not only achieving significant cost savings, but they are also strategically aligning themselves with the latest Energy Efficiency norms and directives. This dual focus not only translates into tangible financial benefits but also underscores a resolute commitment to fostering sustainability. By embracing ...
Nowadays, there is a clear change of priorities in society that also pushes administrations to promote new measures linked to efficiency and sustainability. This is the subject of this article: how public administrations can implement energy-saving plans and reduce their energy consumption. If you’re interested, keep on reading! Public ...
According to statistics, 40% of the energy consumption in Europe comes from the building sector. This led the European Commission to create energy efficiency directives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, introducing the concept of NZEB or Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings. ...
Energy efficiency, new regulations, decrees or energy saving measures...No matter what type of media you visit, you can't miss it. ...
This blog is co-signed by Morten Petersen, Member of European Parliament. Major cities under water. Unprecedented heat waves. Terrifying storms. These are just a few of the nightmare scenarios evoked by UN Secretary General António Guterres following the publication in April of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate science. The findings could ...
This includes key initiatives such as the Renovation Wave and reviewing existing European Directives, such as the Energy Efficiency Directive. One of the main sectors directly affected by these policies is the energy utility sector. ...
Inprova Energy has published a free guide to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) Regulations, which could make energy-wasting commercial buildings unlettable. The MEES regulations come into force on 1 April 2018 and will make it illegal to grant a new tenancy to new or existing tenants for privately rented commercial properties that don't meet minimum energy standards. Landlords who ...
The Government’s £4.4 billion Priority School Building Programme is well underway and by the end of 2021 a total of 537 schools will have been rebuilt or refurbished. When designing the lighting scheme for a new or refurbed school, there are many things to consider including time constraints, regulations, energy-efficiency and special client requirements. The development of new ...
Are you an energy manager that has recently been tasked to invest in energy efficiency measures, but have no idea how much they will cost? Does your existing energy management project need a financial boost that you don’t know how to estimate? Or perhaps you are one of the 62% of companies citing lack of access to finance & capital as their biggest barrier to implementing ...
He told the audience that although the regulations stemmed from the EU Energy Efficiency directive, that the UK remained committed to carbon reduction and energy efficiency, irrespective of Brexit. ...
The European Union is steadily moving toward a united energy front. In 2012, the EU created the Energy Efficiency Directive and set out to reach 20 percent energy efficiency within eight years. According to the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, this directive ...
It is now just about three years since the enactment of the Energy Efficiency Regulations 2012. Dawn has arrived for high energy consumers (those spending more than 15,000kWh of energy per month) to comply with the regulations. Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has been sending out letters to high energy consumers, informing them of the need to be compliant. Most consumers do not really know ...
Visit http://www.envantage.co.uk/energy-savings-opportunity-scheme-esos.html The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is expected to help reduce business energy costs by a total of £1.6 billion by 2030. ...
In this study, a new combined cycle based on the Brayton power cycle and the ejector expansion refrigeration cycle is proposed. The proposed cycle can provide simultaneous heating, cooling and power. And be driven by low temperature heat sources. The suggested cycle can save energy around 46% in comparison with a system producing cooling, power and hot water separately. Moreover, the second law ...
As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moves forward with standards to reduce power plant emissions—which are due to be finalized in June 2015—many states are wondering how they will comply. WRI’s fact sheet series, Power Sector Opportunities for Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions, examines the policies and pathways various states can use to cost-effectively meet or ...
In other countries, city-living is usually less energy intensive. There are many reasons behind China’s exceptionally energy- and carbon- intensive urbanization process. ...
On October 2012, the European Union adopted the Energy Efficiency Directive in reaction to the fact that EU Member States were not on track to reduce primary energy consumption by 20 % by 2020. The implementation of this directive, and other policies that have been adopted in recent years, will require a change ...
Relatively lower fuel energy cost, higher fuel conversion efficiency and ability to take higher loads are the attracting features of direct injection diesel engines. ...
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is an important technology for achieving more efficient and environmentally acceptable energy systems. Where space is limited, thermochemical TES has the highest potential to achieve compact thermal energy storage. Here, a general closed thermochemical TES is investigated using energy and exergy analyses. An illustrative example is presented, and the energy and exergy ...
