The best medical officer in a concentration camp is not the man who believes that undue harshness must be applied, but rather the one who, by means of careful control and interchanges at the various places of work, main-tains a high standard of efficiency.
He was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for this exploit, as well as his "untiring efforts" and "high standard of efficiency ... under extremely trying conditions"; the award was promulgated in the London Gazette on 13 May.
Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, told the Guardian that the world's number one priority in tackling climate change must be to ensure those buildings meet higher standards of efficiency and safety.
Findings support that the discounting framework is the primary driver of difference in estimates about costs and benefits of higher standards of efficiency in the residential sector.
This growth trend will place increasing stresses on precious natural resources, and will demand the need for more sustainable energy resources and much higher standards of efficiencies in energy production and delivery.
A final scenario "Efficiency for the green future" designed by the stakeholders for implementation in the city included high standards of energy efficiency in buildings, increased share of renewables in the heating energy mix, expanding the district heating system, deploying smart technologies and green architecture.
