NRG Energy, Inc. has received approval from the Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation’s board for a proposal to create a high-level sustainability master plan for the future of NRG Park as well as the installation of solar panels, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and energy-efficient LED lighting.
Commercial buildings could cut their heating and cooling electricity use by an average of 57 percent with advanced energy-efficiency controls, according to a year-long trial of the controls at malls, grocery stores and other buildings across the country. The study demonstrated higher energy savings than what was predicted in earlier computer simulations by the same researchers.
What makes people use less energy? For many, it’s the cost: economic, environmental or both. Costs are only made clear, though, in a monthly utility bill. And that’s something millions of Americans never see.
A decades-long partnership between Sandia National Laboratories and the Norwegian research organization SINTEF (Stiftelsen for industriell og teknisk forskning) will now tackle energy challenges such as renewable energy integration, electric grid modernization, gas technologies and algae-based biofuels, under an expanded agreement.
Energy Trust of Oregon, Clark Public Utilities, the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Oregon, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), City of Portland, and Portland Development Commission announced the winners of the 2013 Kilowatt Crackdown, a competition to improve energy performance of commercial office buildings.
MPM Technologies, Inc., subsidiary Carbon Cycle Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with Spokane machining and manufacturing company Wheeler Industries, Inc., to build CCP's waste-to-value solution – a patent-pending photon-induced plasma arc gasification technology that will process biomass, such as lumber mill waste and agricultural residue, and municipal solid waste for the cogeneration of heat and power.
This year for the seventh time, the world's leading exhibition for the solar industry is holding the Intersolar AWARD ceremony, which pays tribute to innovative industry solutions in the categories of Photovoltaics and Solar Projects in Europe. It is accompanied this year for the first time by the electrical energy storage (ees) AWARD ceremony.
Rice University engineering students think it’s a shame to waste energy, especially in space. So a team of seniors invented a device that turns excess heat into electricity.
Fuel cells have long been heralded as the energy technology of the future. Invented in 1838, the cells promise an almost limitless supply of clean energy for everything from cars to electrical grids, but have always proven too expensive to manufacture, fuel and maintain to enter mainstream use. Hoping to bring down those costs, a team of Bucknell faculty and student researchers has developed a new tool that could greatly accelerate fuel cell experimentation, and one day lead to the first commercially viable fuel cells.
Scots businesses are missing out on a £250m windfall from the country’s sodden climate, a new study has shown.
