Book excerpt: Energy efficiency is high on the political agenda as governments seek to reduce wasteful energy consumption, strengthen energy security and cut greenhouse gas emissions. However, the lack of data for developing proper indicators to measure energy efficiency often prevents countries from transforming declarations into actions. This manual identifies the main sectoral indicators and the data needed to develop these indicators; and to make surveying, metering and modeling practices existing all around the world available to all. It has been developed with a companion document, Energy Efficiency Indicators: Essentials for Policy Making, as a starting point towards enabling policymakers to understand where greater efficiency is needed, to implement appropriate policies and to measure their impact.

Book excerpt: Energy is one of the most important factors of production. Its efficient use is crucial for ensuring production and environmental quality. Unlike normal goods with supply management, energy is demand managed. Efficient energy use—or energy efficiency—aims to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. Energy use efficiency can be achieved in situations such as housing, offices, industrial production, transport and agriculture as well as in public lighting and services. The use of energy can be reduced by using technology that is energy saving. This Special Issue is a collection of research on energy use efficiency.

Download or read book Energy Conservation Indicators II written by Tihomir Morovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy Conservation Indicators is a methodology to break down energy consumption data into their component parts in the same way as those which are due to annual weather fluctuations, business cycle, structural changes in the economy and higher energy efficiency. This methodology is applied for the first time to all twelve Member Countries of the European Communities for the period 1979 to 1985. It represents a tool for a long-term monitoring of the efforts towards the goal set by the Council of Ministers of the European Community to achieve a 20% improvement in intensity of final energy demand between 1985 and 1995. In addition, it is used by the Commission of the European Communities for considerations regarding energy conservation policies for the Community. The results of the analysis performed showed that the goal set by the Council cannot be reached if the current trends prevail in the years to come. The reasons are the declining impact of structural changes towards less energy-intensive production and the increasing level of energy-consuming comfort in the residential and private transportation sectors.

Book excerpt: Examines recent trends in end-use energy consumption in Canada, identifying and analysing the factors that have caused changes in the demand for energy. Also develops indicators of energy efficiency improvements, using a factorisation method to determine the contribution of energy efficiency to changes in end-use (secondary) energy use. Such a method allows an assessment of the underlying changes in energy intensity for each end-use sector and permits distinguishing the effect of changes in energy intensity on energy use from changes in economic growth and changes in the mix of energy-using products or activities. Economy-wide trends are described first, followed by sections on energy efficiency trends in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sector. The final section analyses factors influencing growth in energy use in each sector 1990-94. Appendices include a description of the methodology and data sources for the factorisation analysis, as well as a glossary.

Book excerpt: This statistical report is designed to help understand what drives final energy use in IEA member countries in order to improve and track national energy efficiency policies. It provides the first comprehensive selection of data that the IEA has been collecting each year after its member states recognised in 2009 the need to better monitor energy efficiency policies. The report includes country-specific analysis of end uses across the largest sectors - residential, services, industry and transport. It answers questions such as: - What are the largest drivers for energy use trends in each country? - Was energy saved because of efficiency progress over time? - How much energy is used for space heating, appliances or cooking? - What are the most energy-intensive industries? Improving energy efficiency is a critical step for governments to take to move towards a sustainable energy system. This report highlights the key role of end-use energy data and indicators in monitoring progress in energy efficiency around the world.
Download or read book Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

Book excerpt: Improved energy efficiency has been a central objective in energy strategy for the European Community since the first oil crisis. And in 1986 the Coun cil of Ministers went even further than before in setting the ambitious target of improving, by 1995, energy efficiency in the Community by 20 %. But how should progress along this road be measured? What kind of yardstick should be used to assess the success of programmes for improving energy effi ciency? Does a drop in energy demand or in the amount of energy apparently required to produce one unit of GOP necessarily mean that energy efficiency is improving? Conversely, does a rise in energy demand really mean the opposite? Or can it be explained by factors such as climate, the business cycle, longer-term structural changes in the economy, or shifts between energy sources? The development of the Energy Conservation Indicators - a methodology that breaks down energy consumption data into their component parts - represents the first product of the efforts by the Commission of the European Communi ties within the framework of the cooperation between the Directorate General for Science, Research and Development and the Directorate General for Energy to find the answers to these questions. It provides a detailed and consistent basis for measuring the energy intensity of the Community as well as of each of the Member States.

Book excerpt: The United States has long been accused of being energy inefficient based on a comparison of energy intensities among the industrialized countries. Energy intensity is commonly measured by computing the ratio of energy use per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is not a true measure of efficiency, however, because it does not account for differences in the standard of living, differences in population densities, or other factors. After corrections are made to account for these factors, the United States often appears to be as efficient or more efficient than many of the other industrialized countries. In this analysis the industrialized economies considered are the Group of Seven (G7): the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, West Germany, and the United Kingdom. In summary, since 1970 the United States has improved the efficiency of energy use as much or more than have the other G-7 countries. Frequently, the United States is more efficient in its use of energy than are other G-7 countries. Many of the differences in energy use result from the fact that the United States has the comparative advantage of abundant indigenous energy supplies which have been used to develop large energy intensive but not necessarily inefficient petrochemical, and primary metals industries. The United States continues to hold this advantage, producing 50 percent more energy in 1988 than did all the remaining G-7 countries combined. 12 figs.
