article by Sam Greyhawk

Are you a new TV? Thinking about plasma, LCD or flat-screen model? Have you thought about energy efficiency? Although most people buy a TV, the special features already in mind, they rarely consider energy efficiency. Why is energy efficiency important for TVs? According to Energy Star, “the day of the TV, along with related products such as DVD players and set-top boxes, make up about 10% of the household’s annual electricity bill.” Current TV and its impact on the environment Views may seem harmless, but it is important to understand the environmental impacts of electricity. The production of electricity is a dirty business – especially in the United States. In 2006, almost half (49%) of the 4100 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in the coal as an energy source. Why do we rely so heavily coal in the world today, more environmentally friendly? You can respond to a recent MIT report entitled The future of coal found in which they state, “Coal is a low cost, per BTU, mainstay of both developed and developing countries”, they will remain after a frightening statement, “the their use is expected to grow. ” The growing power of If 10% of your annual household energy bill does not seem outrageous to you, then the next to consider, said Keith Jones, Digital CEnergy Australia “ in 2012, is it is safe to say that TVs consume more power than an average household refrigerator . ” Energy efficiency – A simple solution Fortunately there is a simple solution – energy efficiency. Energy-efficient new TV has, the less electricity you use and you help to lower emissions. With the help of Energy Star energy efficiency in search of a TV has never been easier. Energy Star-rated TVs use about 30% less energy than conventional units. Energy Star also provides estimates of almost all types of television on the market – from standard TV, HD-ready television, so the biggest flat-screen plasma TVs.To to improve the energy efficiency of a new television to maximize, where possible, advise I hold your purchases until November 2008. According to Energy Star, “in november 2008, a new, more stringent ENERGY STAR televisions are effective.” This new standard will improve the efficiency of both standby and active mode. Finding the Energy Star-Rated TV If you’re ready to go shopping today, you Energy Star rated televisions use the free of these stores also carry the Energy Star -rated “Home Electronics” then you should be able to compare the Energy Star models personally.Best BuyCostcoSam The ClubSearsWal-MartTo find the nearest store in your neighborhood, Energy Star offers the following free web-tool:. http://www energystar.gov / index.cfm? fuseaction = store.store_locatorIt is always important to refrain from the use of energy efficient equipment is a simple way to reduce the ecological footprint. Not only energy efficiency to save the environment for future generations, it also saves money, that money by calculating the monthly electricity bill. When the TV, so that environmentally smart choice to buy and buy the same as estimated by the Energy Star.Author

Learning from the Energy Efficiency Ratings can help you save fuel

Posted in Energy Efficiency  by

Marc Fields

to save money on fuel prices is something everyone is trying to do. Whether our house or our car fuel cost us happiness, some relief in sight. With so many other expenses we have to deal with, to save money on fuel prices is a great way to get us all the extra money each month. Everywhere we look now we hear, ‘green’ energy efficiency and buying equipment. Saving money on fuel prices and energy efficiency devices seem to be synonymous with each other.

Appliances today be classified as energy efficiency and the number for consumers to tell how environmentally friendly and economical they are. More energy efficient equipment, better to save money on fuel prices, we have the time. Many people buy new hardware, which is a label that says, they are more energy efficient and do not fully understand how powerful theappliance really is. Most devices that are energy efficient today is the Energy Star label. This Energy Star appliances or energy-saving features built in, if they exceed federal guidelines for energy efficiency. Here are a few tips on what to look for when buying energy-efficient appliances.

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER is the term used to increase the efficiency of central air conditioners to measure. The unit 12 seer as large or larger than the higher the better.

Energy efficiency class or EEA for room air conditioners, and again the higher the number the more efficient the air conditioner will be. Be sure to install the air conditioner in the room. If a very select air conditioning equipment room, the nonstop manner, regardless of the performance of the model and can. Ambient to 400 square feet requires 9000 BTU air conditioning, for example.

Energy Factor or EF is what used to determine the efficiency of washing machines. This number indicates how many complete cycles of washing one kilowatt-hour of electricity used. Although the Energy Star washers are 2.5, the federal standard is 1.18. Use these numbers to your instructions.

Energy Factor or EF is also used in dishwashers because it indicates the number of full turns should be managed as a dishwasher for one kilowatt-hours of electricity. Looking 0.52 or higher. Refrigerators and freezers requires a small increase in efficiency. This sign describes a number of kilowatt hours of electricity the appliance uses per year.

DomesticGas Appliance Safety and energy saving skills will become stronger. First kitchen Reporter Shanghai exchange force home Appliance Business Association appliance market, the Shanghai forum informed that according to a new national standard, “51″ automatically afterGas stovesNot “off” can not be sold, “61″, theGas Water Heater Energy efficiency does not label delisting.Gas stoves automatically be considered “off” function cooker oatmeal can not be away from people, and died there in the soup with the risk of bleeding? This is a lot of “Ma Tante” common sense, a gas stove. However, when a new gas heater not to buy so worried. The new version of “mandatory national standard for the domestic gas” be implemented by 1 May “to have an automatic flame failure protection”, “heat load is the goal,” “stove in order to high-temperature-700 to resist”, which has become an indispensable domestic gas’ hard work. “In other words, next month, gas ovens, either embedded in or on the desktop, and not automatically” off “can not be sold. New national standard, the fire was extinguished fluid leak or blow away, a gas stove is able to automatically from the gas after 60 seconds, in order to prevent an explosion or gas poisoning. At present, in addition to a small amount of old-fashioned and inexpensive desktop products will be most of the embedded market provided with an automatic gas hob flame does not safety devices. In addition, a rapid-fire humans, such as baked or slow small fires burning cooking habits, a new standard for the first time, we have more firepower heating the main, that is, to grow to 2.4 KW to 3.5 kilowatts.Gas boiler inability to exit the market efficiency labeling to withdraw as early as last July 1 “With gas water heater energy efficiency rating limit,” the official implementation of the standard is the first time in gas water heater energy efficiency of three points? Maximum thermal efficiency of at least 96% , two of the thermal efficiency is not less than 88%, 3 is the “contact” threshold thermal efficiency can not be less than 84%, or can not be charged. January 28 this year, geysers are included in the third series of energy-efficiency labeling of the product list, require that on June 1, after the energy to sell. Ordinary consumers, the benefits of energy efficiency is to empower people to find the energy level at a glance. Municipal Gas Management Office, said engineer Zhang Zhen, a domestic gas boiler combustion exhaust contains water vapor in the form so that the discharge, removing a lot of heat, making it a waste of energy. After the implementation of standard energy domestic boiler exhaust temperature compared with the group 110-160, the thermal efficiency of more than 84%. energy savingRefrigeratorLogo Would you buy to see the same energy, consumers want a more efficient gas water heater to buy, can be as long as the sights of the product energy efficiency rating was placed in a clear identification. Kitchen “three-part” The average prices are expected to 10% of the real estate development concerns in a direct contribution to explosive growth of the city in the kitchen electronic product markets. Commonly known as the kitchen, “three-part” boilers, hood, gas stove, the total sales in 1998 to less than 300 million yuan, now has more than 1.8 billion. Electrical equipment Shanghai Stock Exchange trading information provided by industry associations, the Shanghai Stock Exchange 2007, the sale of three products in terms of hood more than 205 000 units, a gas stove for more than 225 000 units, boilers for more than 422 000 units. From the price of three major products in recent years the average annual increase in last year three hundred U.S. dollars, is expected this year affect the total cost and the impact on energy saving technology to the kitchen to upgrade, “the three-part” The average price increased by 10%.

“China’s energy efficiency standards for Flat

Posted in Energy Efficiency  by

writer of the article jekky

National Radio and Television Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the digital TV product testing laboratory engineer Ruan Weihong on “China energy requirements for flat- TV, “in making this meeting a comprehensive interpretation. Ruan Weihong: Hello everyone, I will be the future of energy efficiency flat panel TVs can impose. Energy efficiency standards in our country introduced various policies and regulations are based on the flat panel TV is part of the compulsory national standard, the National Development and Reform Commission resource conservation and environmental protection unit and the National Committee for Standardization of the proposed standards in the industry in accordance with the powers of the national energy basis for the Commission, led by China Institute of standardization, the domestic manufacturers and testing organizations are involved in the development of standards. This is the standard in June 2009 is formed on the draft for approval by January 5, 2010 notice expired on the WTO website. Here is the process of drawing up agreements, these are the standard-setting as it is one of our national series of energy standards in recent years introduced a number of the energy of our nation’s standards, energy-saving method in which the relevant requirements regarding energy efficiency and use of the standard of the system have implemented the relevant provisions. The second is that China is not the only flat-screen TV consumers the major producing countries, we have, so here is the current formation of non-tariff barriers over the green and plot the output state, complying with our products and fair , strict requirements on the products to improve on the basis of the international competitiveness of countries, and our household appliances since facilities have hundreds of very large amounts of data flat-screen TV is now on average each year tens of millions of units instead of the original TV flat TV is here, and in the future great power, the necessary requirements, allows business to increase investment in this area, in addition to the benefits to consumers, reduce energy consumption around the world. Our setup process, followed by a number of principles, that is, fair, accurate, etc. is not right in the screen, brightness, size and details of the tendency of the data reproducibility strict requirement of advanced energy conservation technology products to promote, promotion of products, very popular, the standard flat-panel TV to promote energy conservation, energy efficiency standards consistent with national macro-policy coordination, implementation of national energy conservation law to serve a number of countries in the international launch its own energy efficiency and related policies, especially after the U.S., the EU Energy Star EuP Directive, Japan TOP, runner, and we have national standards for a specific difference between these standards compared with standard features of our standard for first we propose a compromise in the glory and power for energy consumption is the reason why we have a television to the members of the Audio Visual Enjoy offer, it gives you the energy to some of the pictures and sound. We therefore propose that the strength and power factors, such as the so-called energy index evaluation parameters can be processed directly in the electro-optical efficiency of a flat-screen TV that we no longer look at the energy of an issue, we have an efficient problem, select the cheaper light and power parameters, and dissemination of technology, which will also promote a stable and healthy development of flat panel television industry. The second is a system for independent evaluation of the various products, including our standard two products, one of which is a liquid crystal products, the PTP product of these two products has its own characteristics. Respect for diversity, the principle of equality, and unity based on the testing methods were Liquid crystal television and plasma TV energy efficiency index evaluated, we parameter is a two-year process has a number of developments, first to the power consumption of other international standards to keep undergo consistent, so we adjust the brightness of the parameter to present the power brightness parameters combined, so we keep the LCD and plasma TVs of various systems and functions, energy efficiency proposed in addition to a specific index for the collection of data for statistics, the basis of energy efficiency index in the LCD and plasma indices, in fact, the plasma index, which we as full HD plasma and not Full-HD plasma, but also two of them are full HD, a full range of HD, but because it is a product which, like literally no classification. Other because we have a problem with the power and glory of the problem to have, the standards process should be clear that the state test, I put them on the same platform prototype testing, we have asked me to test this index in the parameters horizontal comparison, is back in our country introduced a number of related policies, the policy the use of advanced technology, not to keep to less energy to encourage stimulating, I will consume as much energy I want the same effect the same effect would I consume less energy, we have space to measure by strict rules, I have my test level comparability, I have the information, data covers a lot of technical details, where the information can this product in the same product type, LCD or plasma of the same type of product, and then put an open and honest forum to compare, you can directly reflect the technological level of energy saving products.

HC WIRE: face of growing global energy stress in the industrialized world, especially Europe and the U.S. energy-saving technology’s full attention. In the past 30 years in the country building design and construction, new building insulation development and application of building energy efficiency provisions of the development and implementation of building energy-saving certification, and management has a lot of work, not only saves a lot of energy, has a significant financial benefits, while improving the environment and reducing the destruction of the ozone layer of the atmosphere. China, the construction of energy conservation in the early ’90s has just started, so the foreign construction energy efficiency and insulation materials for our work in this area are the friends of the reference. Now abroad, energy saving and insulation from the use of energy in buildings, a brief introduction: a strange building energy efficiency standards in the development and social benefits, the availability since the 70 is the worldwide energy crisis, the world’s governments to use energy in a blanket, a comprehensive and realistic analysis of the energy consumption of the building is an important diagnostic part of the agreement on the need for architectural design, energy efficiency standards to develop and implement the proposed legislation. So countries have their building’s energy requirements. For the first time in the United States in 1975 issued ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Cooling and Air Conditioning Association) Standard 90-75, “a new energy-efficient design of buildings.” Based on this formally in December 1977, the “new energy-saving building codes” to publish, and 45 countries had a very clear, energy-saving effect. National Energy Board, the National Bureau of Standards and building codes and standards, the General Assembly continued the construction of energy efficient design, the new elements every five years after a change of ASHRAE standards. Japan Housing Finance Public Library, in 1979, provided for housing insulation standards for construction of a portion of the heat resistance and insulation materials used in various provisions of the minimum. Some people abroad in the late 70′s started the construction of energy efficiency in the workforce of the construction of energy-efficiency standards for new buildings to implement, which has received a tremendous deterrent effect, the land to build a consumption considerably. For example, in Denmark in 1985 than in 1972, the heating area increased by 30%, but energy consumption for heating of buildings to reduce in 318 tons of standard coal, the heating energy consumption, the share of total domestic energy, including 39% 28% ; .. in the United States since the development of energy efficiency standards, and the date, only $ 2,011, and on this basis in the second Boo SAVE $ 43 billion example, the construction of energy-saving schemes abroad for more than 30 years, an important social and economic benefits that insulation and insulation technology abroad Buildings Insulation and wall cladding application: Building insulation Hefei is the most fundamental energy-efficient buildings, each country uses the construction of a large number of new building materials and insulation brick is typically replaced by a hollow block, brick, blocks hollow wall, to the insulation properties of the wall to improve, a block of the hollow channel. between the air, but also fills the gap plus the expanded perlite, bulk bulk glass mineral wool or cotton, and other loose fill insulation. Building Envelopes, commercial, construction, light and efficient use of glass wool, rock wool, foam and other insulation materials. There are basically three types of walls are insulated for heat insulation, the outer insulation and the insulation sandwich. Occupants old construction of the wall construction of the outer layer of the base wood or plastic to the quality of the wall layer of rigid foam, which walls of the main frame beam has a break. A typical structure of the wall is hollow, or with a cavity wall of the wall of the recess has a good, tight filling of the same part can be a very good insulation are. Insulation installation of a roof Civil roof of a tower commonly used in the tower and the attic space directly below the roof is provided with channels for air circulation, can not be solved by the air flow, thermal insulation can have a certain effect.
