Renewable energy has led to a sharp decline in coal-based power and nuclear energy over the past decade, but natural gas-based electricity production increased during that period.
Breaking down the subject of boiler efficiency, defining how it relates to making a new purchase, and providing answers to important questions buyers should ask potential suppliers.
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a valuation tool that analyzes different energy storage technologies as part of an integrated and increasingly decarbonized energy system.
Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; San Francisco; Atlanta; and New York make the top five, cutting energy costs while increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.
Purdue University engineers have proposed a system that combines new membrane technology with the latest HVAC systems to make 100% outdoor air systems more energy-efficient and economically feasible, especially in warm, humid climates.
The EIA projects that, by 2050, all U.S. commercial buildings will use 6% less energy for heating and that office floor space will grow by 5 billion square feet over the next 30 years.
Instead of needing to build in resilience for both fossil fuels (natural gas, propane, fuel oil, etc.) and electricity to keep your building systems running, an efficient all-electric design only requires resilience for one energy supply.
