In the introduction an overview of major energy policies is given as well as a foundation for residential energy efficiency improvements and a description of the key components in other eco-cities. A baseline and two scenarios with different energy performance were created in the modeling software DesignBuilder to calculate the energy consumption for heating and cooling. It resulted in

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service.[1] For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services

relationship between economic development and energy consumption. On one hand‚ growth of an economy‚ with its global competitiveness‚ depends on the availability of cost-effective and environmentally benign energy sources‚ and on the other hand‚ the level of economic development has been observed to be reliant on the energy demand. The electricity sector in India supplies the world’s 5th largest energy consumer‚ accounting for 4.0% of global energy consumption. The Energy policy of India is predominantly

Abstract Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy efficiency during the product ’s lifetime‚ and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology industry‚ it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before

The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at oil refineries and port facilities that restrict fuel supply. An emergency may emerge during unusually cold winters due to increased consumption of energy. Pipeline failures and other accidents may cause minor interruptions to energy supplies.
