SC Johnson has taken steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase use of renewable energy sources across its global operations. Their 2009 global manufacturing emissions were down 31.6% compared to 2000 levels. Nearly 40% of the electricity used by the company in 2010 came from renewable sources such as wind energy projects in Michigan, Indonesia and the Netherlands as well as co-generation turbines.
Calwell zero energy homes talk in san diego
Chris Calwell gave a talk on sharply reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions. He discussed how increasing carbon emissions lead to rising CO2 concentrations and global temperatures. It will be expensive and slow to convert energy infrastructure away from CO2 emitting sources. We face a near-term limit on absolute energy consumption. Improving efficiency has had some success but plug loads are soaring. We need to track all factors that drive emissions upward for homes and consumer products like population, acquisitiveness, luxury, usage, carbon intensity, efficiency, manufacturing, and durability. More homes are using solar energy each year but we must go beyond current efficiency standards like ENERGY STAR to achieve deeper reductions.
Green Neighborhood Challenge/Wind Power
The document promotes switching to wind power in Washington D.C. through the Green Neighborhood Challenge. It notes that D.C. is highly ranked for green energy use and individuals have freedom to choose their energy supplier. Signing up for wind power through Clean Currents makes it easy to support wind energy and donations will go to a local conservation organization. The Challenge runs until Earth Day and individuals are encouraged to participate to help their community become greener.
WtE Infographic
This document discusses the benefits of waste-to-energy (WtE) solutions. It notes that WtE is considered a clean, reliable, and renewable source of energy by the EPA. It also states that WtE generates electricity with less environmental impact than almost any other electricity source. The document highlights that municipal solid waste combustion produces lower carbon dioxide emissions than fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal. It promotes a local WtE facility that supports over 200 full-time jobs and has the ability to power 85,000 homes while processing up to 1.8 million tons of municipal solid waste per year.
High time we switch to led lighting
Most homeowners and businesses want to improve the appearance of their properties, and lighting plays a significant role in achieving this. As lifestyles have advanced, people have become more aware of technology and the environment, making more informed decisions about lighting and other purchases. LED lighting is being adopted more as it is cheaper and more compact than traditional lighting, saving both space and money. According to U.S. estimates, widespread use of LEDs could save 195 terawatt hours of electricity per year, equivalent to $15 billion in savings. LEDs use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last much longer.

RMPF Presentation 3-31-09
The document discusses the results of a nationwide voter survey on energy issues in the United States. It finds that most Americans see the country's energy situation negatively, with nearly half believing the U.S. is on the verge of or already in an energy crisis. The survey also shows increasing importance placed on reducing foreign oil dependence and increasing energy efficient buildings.
Diversegy Consultant Program
Over 500 billion kilowatt/hours of electricity is consumed for lighting in the US each year, and this amount will continue to grow unless more efficient solutions are found. A single match produces heat equivalent to 1 Btu, and world energy consumption is projected to reach 770 quadrillion Btu's by 2035. In 2010, US natural gas production exceeded coal production for the first time since 1981.
Lightbulbs and other implementation bloopers
From the IEA DSM Task 24 expert workshop in Wellington, NZ on February 15. An overview of some of the better-known stories where DSM policy or programme implementation fell short - often due a misplaced understanding of human rationality.
Solar Cowichan
This document discusses the potential for solar power and transitioning to renewable energy. It provides information about:
1) The abundance of solar energy reaching the Earth and decreasing costs of solar technology.
2) Examples of solar projects around the world and calculations showing solar power can be cost-effective in BC.
3) Predictions that solar power prices will continue to drop significantly in the coming years, driving further adoption of solar energy.
Lessons Learned from Halving Energy Consumption at the DECC
The document summarizes efforts by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from its buildings. [DECC halved its energy consumption and reduced emissions by 42% between 2009-2012]. This was achieved through various measures including improving building management systems to reduce unnecessary energy use, installing more efficient equipment like LED lighting and variable speed drives, green IT initiatives, and behavior change campaigns. While progress has been made, DECC aims to do more through additional automation, renewables like solar panels, and continued engagement of staff. The energy savings achieved help pay back the under £500,000 initially invested in under 4 years.
Energy Challenge Lunch n' Learn | 10/2011
Heating and air conditioning account for 55% of home energy use, while lights and electronics account for 20% and appliances account for 15%. The document provides tips for saving energy in various areas of the home, including setting water heaters to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, implementing computer power management, and improving attic insulation. Home energy audits through programs like the Home Energy Squad can identify the most impactful energy improvements for $50 or less.
WS2_Housing_SustainableLiving_Church
The document discusses the need to transform housing systems to address climate change by making homes more sustainable. It notes that current trajectories of climate change will have severe impacts. Housing contributes significantly to carbon emissions. Retrofitting existing homes and improving building standards for new homes can help reduce these emissions. However, changes are also needed in how homes are used and in urban planning to promote more sustainable living. A variety of policies, initiatives, new technologies, and actions by governments, organizations, communities and individuals are needed to effectively transition to low-carbon housing.
Sustainable development through green energy strategies
Bhutan's Prime Minister explains that while Bhutan has done little to cause climate change, it is already experiencing its consequences. As a small, poor, landlocked country, Bhutan faces challenges but remains committed to being carbon neutral. The document discusses causes of unsustainability like air pollution from coal burning. It defines particulate matter and examines the relationship between coal plants and PM2.5 levels in India. The role of green energy in sustainable development is explored, along with factors like social sustainability and resources. Reasons for considering green energy are provided, and carbon credits and trading are described as mechanisms adopted in the Kyoto Protocol. Key strategies for sustainable development through green energy are outlined.
Federal Green Building Policies and Programs
This document summarizes federal and EPA green building policies and programs. It discusses how buildings account for a large portion of energy usage and emissions in the US. It outlines federal legislation promoting green buildings, and initiatives at the Capitol to make it carbon neutral. It describes EPA's national green building workgroup and efforts in New England like online resources, an MOU with the AIA, and a community energy challenge to reduce energy use in buildings.
Nuclear Energy: The Future Of Electricity
Population growth is expected to increase energy demand significantly in the coming decades. Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuels as it produces no greenhouse gases or air pollution and has relatively low costs per kilowatt hour compared to other energy sources. While safety is a concern, modern nuclear plants have stringent regulations and automated safety systems, as well as extensively trained personnel, making them among the safest industrial facilities in the world. The document argues that nuclear power may be the only viable clean and inexpensive solution to meet growing global energy needs.

https://renew.org.au/advocacy/strengthen-home-energy-efficiency-ata/ Why Wind
The document discusses the benefits of wind energy as a renewable energy source. It notes that wind power provides a stable, domestic source of energy without fuel costs and price volatility. While wind energy was initially more expensive than other sources, its costs have decreased and it is now competitive with natural gas. Wind farms also provide local economic benefits through job creation and increased tax revenue. While wind energy faces challenges in infrastructure costs and needing backup power sources, it remains a clean and competitive alternative to help meet America's energy needs.
Current electricity
Electricity powers many modern devices and is generated mostly through burning coal, but some is now created via wind farms. It is dangerous and even lethal to humans but provides a clean energy source. Most electricity in Ireland is produced by the ESB at coal-fired power stations like Moneypoint, though renewable wind power is growing as an environmentally-friendly alternative energy generation method.
紐西蘭綠黨的太陽能政策 中英對照
The Green Party of New Zealand has launched a new Solar Homes initiative to provide more affordable and cleaner energy. The policy would offer low-cost loans to households to install solar panels, allowing them to generate their own electricity and sell excess power back to the grid. This would save the average household $100 per year on energy costs while creating over 1,000 new jobs and reducing New Zealand's reliance on large energy companies. The goal is to install solar panels in 30,000 homes within the first three years through this loan program that requires no government subsidies.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Energy bills have become too complex for a homeowner to really understand on their own. Homes now generate electricity on the roof, consume twice as much energy as they did 30 years ago, and they have devices, like car chargers, that can be programmed to use electricity at cheapest times, but good luck programming them, because electricity rates look like this
- You pay for electricity based on *when* you use it, not just how much. It matters what hour, day, and season you use your electricity.
- On top of that, there are 3-6 different rates to choose from. Americans are wasting energy by choosing the wrong electricity rate and using their energy-intensive devices at the wrong times.
- Today, $500M is wasted by Americans on their energy bills and it’s expected to climb to 2B by 2024. That’s not too surprising if you understand the energy industry.
- We fix that. We analyze and forecast energy to select the right rate, switch them to the right rate, and enable energy devices to programmed to use energy when that rate is cheapest. As an example, we can save new EV owners in the bay area almost $1000 per year.
- The same way that Nest revolutionized thermostats by using smart software to optimize the climate
- We’re revolutionizing energy-intensive devices to optimize electricity cost. Things like car chargers, batteries and hot water heaters. Our service is licensed and built into products like these.
- We are engineers from great schools, combined we have almost a decade of startup and energy modeling experience.
- In a little over a year, we’ve earned $250k in revenue using this technology and we have 11 electric vehicle manufacturers active in our pipeline.
- So if you’re interested in making home energy transparent and clean, come chat with us. Thanks!
