According to the European Commission, buildings in the European Union (EU) are responsible for 40% of the region’s energy consumption and 36% of its greenhouse gas emissions. If building energy and water consumption is not properly monitored, through the use of energy management systems (EMS), it becomes difficult to control how much is used and wasted. Left unchecked, this hurts both the ...
In a recent AASHE webinar co-hosted by Lucid, Justin Owen, Energy Manager at Weber State University, explained why implementing an energy management information system (EMIS) is key to driving campus energy conservation programs forward. An EMIS can be used to establish energy baselines, measure ...
Monitoring energy and water consumption, by building, by academic discipline and by building occupancy on a granular level is the first step to a holistic energy management system with Energy Performance Indicators (EnPI’s). ...
Without performance indicators that relate energy consumption to production output, it is difficult to measure or document improvements in energy ...
Lean manufacturing principles have been practiced in the US for decades and for most manufacturing companies, energy management programs are consistent with Lean initiatives. In fact, many energy efficiency improvements can result from lean manufacturing programs without actually focusing on energy savings. ...
The growth of economy and population worldwide has caused heavy increase in demand for energy and steel. The source of energy is reducing day by day. The steel sector is one of the largest consumers of energy. ...
IF Technology is Europe’s foremost specialist on geothermal energy systems. In the Netherlands over a thousand systems are in place where heat from the summer and cold from the winter is stored underground to be used again six months later. ...
The general objective of the research is to set up a strategy of sustainable conservation at two levels: at city level, to conceive and plan interventions at block, street, neighbourhood scale; at building level to propose and design specific conservation and enhancement interventions that pay particular attention to the ecological and energy dimensions. Specific objective of the ...
With the rapid development of large- and medium-scale biomass energy utilisation in Jiangsu Province of China, to explore the potential of biomass energy resources availability becomes increasingly necessary. This paper analyses the biomass energy resources within Liyang City of Changzhou and designs a referral information ...
As a result, planning for wood energy supply and consumption becomes an ad hoc process. In this paper, we propose a spatial model, called the wood energy information system (WEIS), first to estimate the forest areas and their type in a particular area and then to calculate fuelwood availability and fuelwood demand. With the help ...
