  • Guidelines on Energy Conserving Design of Buildings — 2020 Edition
    GUIDELINES ON ENERGY CONSERVING DESIGN OF BUILDINGS — 2020 EDITION Section I. Purpose 1.1 To encourage and promote the energy conserving design of buildings and their services to reduce the use of energy with due regard to the cost effectiveness, building function, and comfort, health, safety, and productivity of the occupants. 1.2 To prescribe guidelines and minimum requirements for the energy conserving design of new buildings and major renovation of existing buildings that fall and are covered under these guidelines and provide methods for determining compliance with the same to make the buildings always energy-efficient. Section Il. Definition of Terms 2. As used in these Guidelines, the following shall mean: Air— refers to any of the following: Ambient Air — air surrounding a building; the source of outdoor air brought into a building. Exhaust Air — air removed from a space and discharged to outside the building by means of mechanical or natural ventilation. Indoor Air— air in an enclosed occupiable space. Outdoor Air— ambient air that enters a building through a ventilation system, through intentional openings for natural ventilation, or by infiltration. Return Air— air removed from a space to be recirculated, or exhaust air. Supply Air — air delivered by mechanical or natural ventilation to a space and composed of any combination of outdoor air, recirculated air, or transfer air. Ventilation Air — supply air that is outdoor air plus any recirculated air that has been treated for the purpose of maintaining acceptable Indoor Air Quality. Air Conditioning — the process of treating air so as to control simultaneously its temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and distribution to meet the requirements of conditioned space.

    Episode 63 Smart Energy and Data The show notes: www.houseplanninghelp.com/63 Intro: Data is what we're talking about today. When I go to various different talks they will often reflect on data that has been collected, whether it's from moisture sensors or CO2 sensors so I did wonder whether it's something that I should be doing on my project, making sure that there is something useful coming out of it in terms of data. That probably means planning upfront so I just wanted to find out all about that. Recently I saw a talk on smart energy so I thought we'd tie this all together and see how we go with it. Doug King has a lot of experience in construction, particularly high performance buildings - which is what we like - and he's someone that I've been wanting to talk to for a while. I started by asking him for a little bit of background on his work. Doug: I started out as a physicist. I fell into the profession of building services engineering, out of curiosity, and then I spent the last 20 years thinking about how building services systems work together with building fabric, with the technology to control them and finally how human beings relate to all of that as a system in order to try and understand the key issues about optimisation, how to get these things working together properly rather than the building services systems fighting against the building fabric and the users not understanding what the hell is going on.

  • Task XIII Guide Book 6
    Version 6.0 IEA DSM Task XIII Project Guidebook November 2006 Copyright 2006 - IEA DRR LLC - Proprietary Information SECTION 6: DR TECHNOLOGIES 2 I. INTRODUCTION We all use tools to simplify our daily lives. Things such as the hammer, coffee maker, and computer are used to reduce the time it takes to complete a life’s daily chores. The demand response industry has also developed technologies that simplify the implementation and utilization of DR resources in the energy marketplace. In order for a DR resource to be useful in the energy market it must have the ability to react when needed and its response must be measurable. Tools and systems have been developed that help activate a DR asset (e.g. direct load control) and manage a DR asset portfolio (e.g. DR software products). These and other DR related technologies help the DR resource react to load reduction request and opportunities and they help provide the business process mechanisms that connect the resource to the energy marketplace. This chapter will explore how technology is being used in the demand response industry today. The objective of this section is to help the DR market participant identify technologies and systems that are used to make DR more effective in the energy marketplace from the perspective of the participating customer, the energy provider and the system operator. Improvement in communication and metering technologies has helped the demand response industry grow in recent years. In fact, some people have suggested that the demand response industry was made possible by the improvement and wide scale deployment of Internet communications in the late 1990s.

This study focuses on three separate projects: Eklutna, Rampart, and Devil Canyon. The Eklutna project functions today; Rampart was not constructed; and the Devil Canyon project is still in the planning stage. Yet for all their differences in location, goals, and fate, the projects were related; and, taken together, their histories highlight all the essential political elements involved in hydroelectric power construction.

  • Electricity-Generating Alternatives in Arkansas: an Economic Analysis
    Electricity-Generating Alternatives in Arkansas: An Economic Analysis October 2007 © ECONorthwest 2007 Phone • (541) 687-0051 Suite 400 FAX • (541) 344-0562 99 W. 10th Avenue [email protected] Eugene, Oregon 97401 I. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCo), which provides electricity to about 450,000 customers in the Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas region has projected that the demand for electric energy will grow by as much as 1,600 megawatts (MW) by 2011. Arkansans soon must choose between two alternatives for accommodating this growth. One alternative involves generating electricity by burning coal. SWEPCo, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, seeks to build one 600-MW, coal-fired generator near Texarkana, Arkansas, in Hempstead County, by 2011. Its preliminary estimate of the total cost is $1.3 billion. The coal for the generator would be shipped in by rail from Wyoming. The other alternative does not involve burning coal. Instead, it entails investing in energy efficiency, so that energy savings could be used to meet new demands, and in new generators powered by wind, biomass, and other renewable resources. The choice between the two alternatives will have important economic consequences for Arkansas’ workers, families, landowners, and businesses. This report describes the tradeoffs, focusing on these four areas: Environmental Consequences. The generator proposed by SWEPCo would annually emit: 2,628 tons of sulfur dioxide 1,840 tons of nitrogen oxides 3,942 tons of carbon monoxide 920 tons of particulate
