More about Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency

Saving energy is an effort to reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved by increasing the energy efficiency in conjunction with reduction of energy itself or reducing its consumption from conventional energy sources.

Thus, saving energy leads to increased financial capital, environmental quality and the consistent maintainance of sustained values. Those, who choose to conserve energy, promote their economic security and industrial users can maximize the gain and profit as a result of more efficient use of energy.

Energy Efficiency Approach

  • Reducing energy consumption in the form of small concessions corresponding to large energy savings. (eg. reduction of heating of unused rooms)
  • Improve the efficiency of energy usage. Through the increased efficiency can be significantly reduced consumption. (eg. thermal insulation, energy-saving light bulbs)
  • To improve the efficiency by moving towards to unused energy technologies (eg. heat recovery or reuse of waste heat, use of condensing boilers)
  • Intelligent control of equipment operating parameters, and other systems contributes significantly to energy savings
  • Renewable energy use. This term does not neccessarly mean energy saving in the strict sense, but it means for example the replacement of fossil fuels for other types of energy. Some examples of alternative energy sources: solar and wind power, resources that convert biomass into electricity or thermal energy, the use of daylight in light pipes instead of electric lights, manpower instead of the engine, geothermal energy instead of coal. Higher efficiency can be achieved by using a heat pump or gas heating instead of electric heaters
  • European Union Regulations and Directives

    Due to concerns about the global warming, the EU Member Countries have committed themselves to reduce the consumption of traditional energy sources by 20% by the year 2020. In 2011, nevertheless persisted many obstacles to achieve these goals. The European Parliament adopted the directive, which will require that each EU Member Country needs to meet three targets by 2020: to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 20%, increase energy efficiency by 20% and finally it has been determined that 20% of entire energy in the European Union must come from the renewable sources.
