Energy efficiency improvements

This act selected some dozen key residential appliances and proposed industry-tvide voluntary targets for energy efficiency improvement. If industry could not meet these volnntary targets, which averaged a 20 percent reduction in energy use compared to then-current figures, mandatory standards wonld be estab-... [Pg.78]

Market transformation involves coordination between large numbers of market players. It recognizes that because of returns to scale in manufacturing, uniform specifications are necessary to create the climate liccessai y to make investment in energy efficiency improvements. This coordination was devel-... [Pg.80]

Energy-efficiency improvements have offset much of the increased demand from these new appliances. But demand has increased, and will continue to increase, as the combination of continually increasing disposable income and cheap energy accelerates ever more novel inventions and innovations requiring energy. [Pg.291]

The cost premium for a motor equipped with speed control can be substantial, sometimes costing twice that of a single-speed motor. But the energy savings from speed control can be substantial, especially for fan and pump systems. Electronic adjustable speed drives continue to become more attractive because the costs of microelectronics and power electronics technologies continue to fall as performance and energy efficiency improve. [Pg.403]

Just as in offices, energy efficiency improvements in manufacturing can generate increases in overall productivity far in excess of the gains in output per unit energy. This occurs in two principal ways improved process control and systemic process redesign. [Pg.671]

Not all energy-efficiency improvements have a significant impact on productivity in offices or factories. Nonetheless, productivity gains are then possible... [Pg.673]

Much of the potential for improvement in technical energy efficiencies in industrial processes depends on how closely such processes have approached their thermodynamic limit. There are two types of energy efficiency measures (1) more efficient use in existing equipment through improved operation, maintenance or retrofit of equipment and (2) use of more efficient new equipment by introducing more efficient processes and systems at the point of capital turnover or expansion of production. More efficient practices and new technologies exist for all industrial sectors. Table 2 outlines some examples of energy efficiency improvement techniques and practices. [Pg.754]

In the United States various studies have assessed the potential for energy efficiency improvement in industi y. One study has assessed the technologies for various sectors and found potential economic energy savings of 7 to 13 percent over the busitiess-as-usual trends (Brown et al., 1998) between 1990 and 2010. Technologies like the ones described above (see Table 2) are important in achieving these potentials. [Pg.756]

The low rate of 1 % annual energy-efficiency improvement over the last 35 years raises more questions. What are the major obstacles and market imperfections that have to be addressed by policy measures in order to speed up the realisation of energy and material efficiency potentials Since obstacles and market imperfections have been the object of study for a long time (IPCC, 2001), are there any additional concepts of motivation or opportunities which have not yet been applied but which are likely to speed up activities and markets for realising energy efficiency options ... [Pg.603]

As noted above, there are inherent reasons why the phase II market may be volatile, and price instability carries a cost. Greater stability in price expectations would reduce risks and increase investment in low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency improvements. [Pg.22]
