Learn about the UK’s Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme and how company’s face fines of £5,000+ for not registering on time.

The new scheme is aimed at saving organisations around one billion pound per year by 2020, by ensuring they become more energy efficient. This will see large organisations like supermarkets, hotels, pharmaceutical companies, betting, travel, department stores, hospitals, local authorities and central government improving their energy efficiency and in a period of huge cuts saving money year in-year out.

BT’s Carbon Impact Assessment can help your organisation meet the challenge to save energy and cut your energy costs. In just days it will help you understand and assess your carbon impact providing analysis of your energy usage, workforce, and travel practices to help you identify the areas that impact on your organisation’s CO2 emissions. BT can also help you explore how sustainable practices and intelligent IT can lower your carbon emissions, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

Whole-Building Energy Analysis through Wireless Networked Sensing

Whole-Building Energy Analysis through Wireless Networked Sensing
Gilman Tolle, Arch Rock
Abstract:
Live breakdown of all of a building’s dynamic energy usage into subcircuits and individual consumers allows the facility manager or operations team to optimize, reduce usage, reduce cost or plan for demand response. We present a real-world solution that combines three CITRIS-related technologies to accomplish this task: high-fidelity AC sensing nodes that attach easily to circuits in the building, openstandard IP-based wireless networking that simplifies installation by the electrician, and a web application tier that presents live and historical trends, tracking to goals, alerts based on energy usage and energy spending as per the building’s utility rate schedule, and open API access to data. This system, embodied in the Arch Rock Energy Optimizer, is currently being used in IT and manufacturing settings to understand and improve their power consumption and footprint.

How can I use global warming to heat my house and reduce my energy usage?

Admin — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:25:16 +0000

I live in a single family home, heated by oil. I want to reduce my use of oil, and get more heat from green sources. I’m thinking that there has to be a way to use global warming as heat energy.

You can check for ideas here:
http://www.builditsolar.com

Global warming is a good thing- without it it would be very cold on this planet. Like -150 to -200 degrees F without the sun- the source of the earths climate flux.

You can expect to pay about 30,000 for a geothermal system, perhaps a little less or a little more depending on the heat delivery system currently in use. They work very well.

If you are handy, you can do some of the installation, geothermal or otherwise; passive systems are easy and are often easily managed and the website I mention has many projects form small and simple to rather large installations.

Introducing Microsoft Hohm Save Energy & Money 1/3

Admin — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:46:10 +0000

Microsoft announced Microsoft Hohm. That’s Hohm as in H + OHM, the unit of measurement for electrical impedance.

Microsoft Hohm is a free web based application (running on the Windows Azure platform) that enables consumers to better understand their energy usage by utilizing advanced analytics licensed from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy to provide home owners with personalized energy-saving recommendations.

The beta is now available to all residents in the United States with plans to roll out internationally over the next year and beyond.

Troy Batterberry joined me in the studio to walkthrough Microsoft Hohm and explain how the service can help you reduce your energy consumption, lower your carbon footprint and save some real money.
