Save nuclear power plants through modernization of the building society and politics agree: comes the turn of the energy. Nuclear energy should be waived in the future power generation. The resulting supply gap could be closed by electricity from gas turbine power plants. To the total energy balance of in Germany not to worsen, and CO2 emissions to increase, not the gas required for the electricity generation elsewhere should be saved. Potential savings will be awarded to modernising residential buildings.

Energetically optimised building energy consumption and reduce the expected higher energy costs for the citizens. How big is the actual savings alone in single-family homes, the Internet portal for energy efficiency and modernisation of residential buildings examined engiwo.de. In a study of energy saving in detached houses through the modernisation: the insulation of the roof, walls and floor plate EnEV 2009, the Installation of a heat protection glazing and a new condensing heating system, as well as the use of a solar thermal calculates. Were selected first 350 representative for the entire houses from the entire Federal territory and their final energy requirement in accordance with the DIN V 4108-6 and V 4701-10 calculated. Then, the achievable energy saving was determined individually for each House. Learn more at: Mashable. Would carried out all measures in the single-family homes, 39% of energy consumed for heating and hot water could be saved. Building insulation with an average saving of 15%, the greatest effect of the modernization has followed by a new burn-value heating system with 14%. As a further measure, new window and the solar hot water production with 5% each contribute to the overall result.

The results show further that the heating systems modernisation. 60% of residential buildings will be operated are still using outdated standard or NT-boilers and 39% of the heaters are older than 15 years. The exchange of relatively inexpensive compared can lead in some cases to an energy saving of up to 30%. After successfully building insulation can be thinking also about a heat pump. Since a heat pump uses the ambient heat, here additional savings potential of 40% is possible. Low-cost insulation measures such as the roof at 55% and the basement ceiling in 51% of all homes, were carried out by the owners. The insulation of at least an outside wall can be observed at 37% of all observed single-family homes. A total of 11.4 million single-family homes (as of 2009) produces a savings of a total of 18 gigawatts (GW), or 6 GW by gas turbine power plants of electricity generated in full modernization with condensing boilers. What is an average output of 1.2 GW, the energy of 5 nuclear power plants. You know a detailed presentation of the results.

CO2 emissions significantly reduced commitment to the environment is becoming increasingly important. First and foremost, such efforts benefit the planet, but they can affect positive impact on a company’s image. The flight Portal fluege.de highlighted the successes of the Munich Airport in this area. Who’s flying on holiday, would not begin the journey with a bad conscience. For flights Munich as a departure airport to choose worth therefore even more, because the airport was recently awarded for his efforts around climate. Due to his effective plan to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide Munich received as the first airport in Germany the seal of quality”level 3, optimization. This award is presented annually in the context of the airport carbon accreditation programme of the European umbrella organisation of airports.

Thanks to this program, attended by 40 European airports, 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide could be saved so far. The airport Munich is it thanks his extensive efforts managed to significantly reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and to involve partners in the corresponding steps. Thus he is considered as an example for its industry and demonstrates the effect of the commitment to the protection of the environment across all industries. The quality seal is awarded for one year. A renewal of certification requires the continuation of the measures to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. To achieve this, Munich Airport has set the target itself to make its further growth CO2 neutral by 2020. More information: news.fluege.de/… University Service GmbH Lisa Neumann

SolarEnergy Berlin presents high-tech from the renewable energy sector – rising demand for technical translations for the energy sector which is booming around renewable energy technology sector. More than 13,000 trade visitors are expected to the SolarEnergy in Berlin, the partners Messe BioGas world expects 6,000 visitors from all over the world. At the same time increases the need for high-quality technical translations for the industry. The 12 SolarEnergy takes place in Berlin from 23-25 April 2013. On the most important international trade fair for renewable energy, State of the art heating and energy efficiency technologies presented the audience.

The partner event BioGas world informed investors from agricultural biogas technologies and new solutions for decentralised energy supply at the same time. The sustained recovery of this industry and the rising domestic demand for innovative energy-saving solutions are reflected also on the translation market. Every third translation job now come from the energy, solar, or photovoltaic industry,”confirmed Abu Ali Jacobs, CEO of B2B Jacobs translations. The translation from Bruggen years ago has focused on the translation of technical documents, patents, operating and maintenance instructions and manuals. More than 700 technical translators working freelance for B2B Jacobs translations.

By means of training and continuous quality control, the agency ensures the performance of their master translator, as well as the quality of the translations, which increasingly deal with photovoltaic and solar thermal, heat pumps, wind turbines or biomass. The rapid upward trend began with the increased use of renewable energies for the German nuclear phase-out and continues. The debate on the renewable energies Act (EEG) and the proposals for reform of Federal Environment Minister Peter Altmaier keep alive the interest of the economy and the consumer. Jacobs: The harsh winter heating costs in every household has driven upwards, the need for affordable, sustainable heating solutions continues to grow. The industry will not ignore this demand.” B2B Jacobs translations renewable energy anticipates an increasing order volume in the industry. The specialist for technical translations is very well prepared for this development.

The energy-saving home appliances soon take hold in our apartments. The technical foundations are already created for the use of intelligent home appliances. Many manufacturers now offer energy-saving alternatives to traditional household appliances. That sounds so almost as if the devices would lead a life of their own and had an intelligence, humans may make use. In fact, so much. No doubt, it’s about artificial intelligence. This intelligence is the agility and security in the House. As E.g.

serve@home by Siemens has revolutionized the home appliance market. What is done. There are a number of network-enabled devices. They have a small slot. Into this comes the system interface. But, the actual operating system is the gateway, which is conducted via the local power grid. Via W-LAN, the gateway to the PC, the PDA or tablet or via GSM communicates with the phone. Now, the customer can now already 11 devices via this wireless communication system connect and control.

The price per unit is 50. All connected devices are mapped on the screen as a control center. So, you can check whether the washing machine in the basement is finished, without having in diesehinabsteigen. This saves time and energy. But the system can be much more since 2005. Peter Asaro addresses the importance of the matter here. You can control the shutters, the light and the temperature about. So, the House gets more security. The complete safety technology about the system can be connected at all. At a glance you know evening where to delete still a light in the House, where possibly a window is open. With a camera, you can monitor all rooms. Each device that you want to work within the system must be connected to the interface HZ319000. The energy-saving household appliances have a chute provided specially. Per info module, they are then informed about the State of the device. Buying to an installation package, you can control everything from the PC. This consists of the central gateway and the Powerline interface. Who not as a complex system install, can obtain individual intelligent devices. For example the Miele smart grid devices which only then remove the power consumption when the current is especially favorable. If so household appliances, such as the washing machine or dishwasher, countercyclical, so mainly at night, automatically record their operation, valuable resources can be saved. This SD-ready devices are equipped with a module, that receives the data via the power lines, which guarantee a reasonable power consumption? The network load to the relevant (current) peak hours in the morning and in the evening, can be optimized by, and much more importantly is spared for most consumers of the money bag. Much is still wishful thinking, but in the interests of ecology, you should closely track this technology and not dismiss as spinning.
