The dual source energy meter usually refers to an energy meter that can simultaneously measure the input or output of two different types or sources of energy. ...
Hence, if you use them regularly, you will immediately associate ISO 9001 with quality, ISO 41001 with the environment, or ISO 50001 with energy efficiency. Before we get into the subject, let’s briefly review the history and rationale of ISO. ...
On July 12, 2019, the House Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Caucus and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute co-hosted the 22nd Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum. The forum brought together ...
To compile the scorecard, researchers examined efficiency policy in 23 of the world’s top energy-consuming countries as well as actual energy-efficiency performance in the three largest energy use categories: buildings, industry and transportation. ...

However, in Australia, housing energy efficiency remains a contested policy area. In part, this is due to a lack of clear cost-benefit information on low emission housing standards, including impacts at the household level. ...
Another study of aggregate job impacts found that energy efficiency and solar energy generate more direct jobs than coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy. ...
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 in consumer ...
These programs would be similar to the new Warehouse for Energy Efficiency Loans (WHEEL) program. Revising Policies and Initiating Programs New state and local programs could use on-bill repayment or property taxes to fund energy efficiency. ...
We know that buildings use about (40)% of all energy use and we also know that the energy efficiency of buildings can be greatly improved, often just by better monitoring and controls with low capex and fast paybacks. ...
The energy efficiency industry received a nice boost this week during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. ...
While the Chinese government announced a target to cap coal consumption at 3.9 billion tons by 2015 and introduced ambitious energy efficiency and renewable energy policies, the country still has a long way to go to wean itself off coal. ...
Is all this effort to save energy worth it? Consider this. Had we neglected energy efficiency from 1980 to 2010, worldwide energy use would be 35 percent higher. ...
With these goals in mind, energy efficiency investments offer promising returns, in terms of both economic growth and employment. More productive energy use begets a more productive and efficient economy, now and for decades into the future (Laitner et al., 2012). ...
Obama calls for about $1.2 billion in spending for energy efficiency. What’s this mean to the energy efficiency industry? ...
You might think by this headline that I’m about to rant about the news regarding energy efficiency policy that was circulating last week. President Obama outlined a plan called the Better Buildings Initiative to incentivize energy efficiency in commercial buildings during his visit to Penn State. ...
The article analyses Hungarian energy efficiency policies and measures in different sectors. The energy efficiency measures are ranked in the following sectors: energy, industry, transport, household and tertiary. The primary and final energy intensities and the ...
By Elisa Wood October 7, 2010 My first reaction was that the Alliance to Save Energy was stretching a bit by titling its October 6 talk: “Is energy efficiency the key to recovery from the ...
Oil and natural gas, Kuwait's only resources of primary energy are also the only revenues from which national income is derived, including foreign exchange. ...
Second, on February 5 Obama drilled down to the nitty-gritty of energy efficiency policy. In a presidential memorandum, he called for the DOE to establish higher standards for common household appliances.“We’ll save through these simple steps over the next thirty years the amount of energy produced over a two-year period by all ...
