China's building energy efficiency design standards have been always treated as the base of national energy conservation planning and industrial investment.
Moreover, the integration between GIS software and methodologies to assess potentiality of RES can be a useful tool to support energy conservation programs, planning of local RES energy resources, and implementation of energy strategies as combining micro-cogeneration and poly-generation.
ECN/UNDP through a project has completed energy efficiency and conservation plans to reduce energy consumption at the residential sector by the replacement of incandescent bulbs with energy-saving bulbs [compact fluorescent lamps (CFL)].
This involves urgent shifts in energy production from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, energy conservation in building design and urban planning, and reduced waste of energy for transport, building heating/cooling, and agriculture.
This would involve urgent shifts in energy production from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, energy conservation in building design and urban planning, and reduced waste of energy for transport, building cooling, and agriculture.
Planned energy conservation activities were first implemented in 1981 by the General Directorate of Electrical Power Resources Survey Administration (called EIE in Turkey).
Thus, planning energy conservation measures is a difficult task, demanding a precise methodological approach, which will embody most of these aspects to a great extent.
Providing information that accounts for the status of energy consumption by end use (heating, cooling, domestic hot water, lighting, etc). is a very important part of establishing a concrete action plan for energy conservation in separate equipment systems.
Her economic plans would provide short-term relief to families in the months and years before her longer-term plans — on energy conservation, for instance — would have an effect, the aides say.
Instead, the Administration's plans for energy conservation and using energy sources with less CO2 emission will help in the short-term, he said; down the road, a new National Climate Change Technology Initiative will help develop cutting-edge technologies such as fuel cells and carbon dioxide sequestration, Bush said.
