Wuppertal Institute - Energy Efficiency The Wuppertal Institute analyses the core question how enduse energy efficiency can be promoted in liberalised energy markets. http://www.wupperinst.org/energy-efficiency/
Extractions: Economics is the main rationale for the liberalisation of the European electricity and gas markets. Energy supply is expected to become more efficient, overcapacities are supposed to vanish over time. Customers would benefit from lower prices for a unit of energy due to the competition between energy suppliers. But is a competition for cheap kiloWatt-hours sufficient for attaining a sustainable energy system, combining respect for the environment and for social matters with economic efficiency? The answer is NO. Liberalisation of the electricity and gas markets is focussing on one half of the competition and "forgets" the other half: the competition between energy supply on the one side, and efficient final use of energy on the other. Demand-side energy efficiency enables us to satisfy our needs – "hot pizza, cold beer" – with less energy, which includes the following benefits:

Extractions: Home Electric Natural Gas Telecom ... Consumer Handbook Americans invest over 75 percent of their utility dollars on heating, cooling, lighting, cooking and running other appliances in their homes. In fact, heating the shower water for a family of four can cost as much as $33 a month. With energy costs on the rise, becoming more energy efficient can mean money in your pockets. By incorporating a few simple changes, a typical household can reduce its energy and water usage and save up to 20 percent on their natural gas, electric and water bills a year. A do-it-yourself room-by-room energy audit can help you identify the best and most economical ways to reduce your energy bills. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recommends the following steps to help you get started: Step 1 Identify places in your home where you lose the most energy. Do you have enough insulation in your exterior or basement walls? Are there holes and cracks in or around walls, ceilings, windows and electrical outlets. Do the appliances operate properly? Are there ways you can use daylight to reduce the time the lights are on in your home? Step 2 - Develop an energy plan for making purchases and improvements to your home. List priorities based on where you are losing the most energy, your budget and the amount of time you have to spend on maintenance and repairs.

Energy Glossary Letter E energy Glossary. Letter E. ECOLOGY The study of interrelationships of animals and plants to one another and to their environment. ECONOMIC efficiency - A term that refers to the optimal production http://www.energy.ca.gov/glossary/glossary-e.html
Extractions: ECOLOGY - The study of interrelationships of animals and plants to one another and to their environment. ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY - A term that refers to the optimal production and consumption of goods and services. This generally occurs when prices of products and services reflect their marginal costs. Economic efficiency gains can be achieved through cost reduction, but it is better to think of the concept as actions that promote an increase in overall net value (which includes, but is not limited to, cost reductions). ECONOMIES OF SALE - Economies of scale exist where the industry exhibits decreasing average long-run costs with size. ECONOMIZER AIR - A ducting arrangement and automatic control system that allows a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to supply up to 100 percent outside air to satisfy cooling demands, even if additional mechanical cooling is required. ECONOMIZER WATER - A system which uses either direct evaporative cooling, or a secondary evaporatively cooled water loop and cooling coil to satisfy cooling loads, even if additional mechanical cooling is required. ECONOMY ENERGY (Electricity utility) - Electricity purchased by one utility from another to take the place of electricity that would have cost more to produce on the utility's own system.
