The municipality of Alba Iulia intend to manage the energy needed for promoting a decent level of life, and in the same time avoiding waste of energy. The approach is part of the ample project through which the municipality wants to turn Alba Iulia into “Smart City”. The main objective of reducing CO2 emissions up to 24% until 2020 relative to the amount of emissions evaluated for the reference year...
At present, actions for the rehabilitation of cities, districts and buildings are being promoted for tertiary as well as for residential buildings. However, the difficulty of assessing the energy savings achieved after energy efficiency improvement measures (or even worse, a combination of them which have cross effects) with enough certainty is well known. The tendency in order to solve this issue...
This study highlights energy savings that could be realized in a fertilizer plant through application of various energy management options to reduce energy expenditure through efficient use of available energy resources. Energy audits were done as reference point for monitoring progress of measures put in place. It also revealed many opportunities for savings in coal usage, steam utilization and correction...
This article analyzed the characteristics of the port energy consumption from the loading and unloading operations, space lighting, office energy consumption and power system loss. According to these characteristics we made some recommendations on how to reduce port energy consumption.
The traditional evaluation models of energy efficiency often only involve energy consumption and economic outputs, but neglect environmental impact of energy and substitution effect between energy and related factors. Under the frame of total factors energy efficiency, undesirable outputs and related factors about energy are considered, and then a new evaluation model of energy efficiency is established...
In this paper, a non-parametric method based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed to measure the energy efficiency. Majority of the previous studies did not consider the pollution when measuring energy efficiency, and hence the results are partially distorted on the perspective of environment. However, this paper takes into account the undesirable factors such as waste water, waste gas and...
All sectors of industry have to save energy so that they are more competitive and can follow recommendations about the environment. For this reason, a study has been carried out on a model for audits. A practical tool is offered to companies and state entities, enabling them to work with greater accuracy and reliability when meeting requirements to monitor their energy consumption and optimise usage...
China's coal industry has long formed extensive style and the development model of high consumption, and high pollution, and they have become one of the aspects that constrained the development of the coal industry. Although in recent years, the coal industry has achieved positive progress in the work of energy-saving and emission reduction. But it is understood that the coal industry still has a...
Firstly, energy saving is defined as the difference between actual energy intensity and anticipated energy intensity. And a model for measuring and appraisal of energy saving is established by using Taylor series in the paper. Secondly, analysis shows that if anticipated energy intensity is given, energy saving should be influenced mainly by two factors-the growth rate of energy consumption and production...
