District Energy Information on district heating, cooling, and cogeneration. District Energy refers to the production and distribution of energy using one or more of the following technologies: (a) Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power - The simultaneous production of heat; (b) District Heating - The distribution of heat from one or more sources to multiple buildings;(c) District Cooling - The distribution of cooling from one or more sources to multiple buildings; and (d) Energy Storage - The storage of thermal or electric energy.
District Energy St. Paul, Inc. District Energy is a private, non-profit, community-based corporation founded in 1979 to secure a reliable energy supply for building owners and to promote energy conservation. We provide district heating, district cooling and related energy services.

District Energy in Iceland
Iceland has the largest percentage
of district heated buildings in the world, with more than 85% of houses connected
to one of the 32 systems in the country. Geothermal energy is the source
for most of the district heat in Iceland, although some comes from cogeneration
plants and from electric boilers.
District Heating
in Sweden Published in 1979
by the Swedish District Heating Association
District Heating
in Sweden 1948-1990 In Sweden,
district heating has been very successful in achieving a considerable share
of the heat market since the introduction in 1948. Review papers and articles
about this development in Sweden have occured on rare occasions in international
literature. Therefore, after 40 years of operation and experience, this paper
gives a short historic survey of the introduction and expansion of district
heating in Sweden.

Efficient Humidity Control with Heat Pipes Building moisture is usually controlled by air conditioning (AC), but some installed systems cannot control the extreme moisture load encountered in Florida. One efficient approach to removing this excess moisture is the heat pipe. A heat pipe can greatly increase the moisture removal ability of an AC system and save energy at the same time. Another advantage is that heat pipes have no moving parts and are essentially maintenance free.

End Use Energy Efficiency Of the three segments within the electric energy system --- generation, delivery, and end use --- end use offers the greatest potential for large increases in efficiency that can translate into avoided greenhouse gas emissions or net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Improved end use technologies and practices can be substituted for less efficient ones, thereby reducing electricity demand, electric generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. Substituting energy-efficient electrotechnologies for fossil fuel-intensive alternatives may also reduce overall energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, depending on a utility's generation mix and the relative efficiencies of the fossil fuel technology and the substitute electrotechnology. In addition, use of a modern electrotechnology often results in superior quality products and/or services.
EnerGuide Appliance Home Page Canada's source of complete information on energy-efficient home appliances and room air conditioners. Whether you're buying appliances or a room air conditioner for your home, selling them to consumers or manufacturing them, this site can help.
ENERGY-10 Design Assistance Software ENERGY-10 is a design resource and PC-based building energy simulation program for smaller commercial and institutional buildings. It is specifically designed to evaluate energy-efficient features in the very early stages of the architectural design process. The program makes it easy to evaluate the integration of daylighting, passive solar heating, and low-energy cooling strategies with energy-efficient shell design and mechanical equipment. The package has been developed directly with the building industry via a task force that includes architects, engineers, builders, and utility representatives.
Energy and Buildings Energy and Buildings is an international journal which presents the results of research activities conducted by the building science community concerned with energy use, quality of the indoor environment and climatology. Its scope covers all topics that can improve the energy efficiency in the built environment
Energy Automation Systems, Inc.
(EASI) EASI is an international
company that reduces electricity related costs in all types and sizes of
businesses. Their programs are dedicated to providing their 22 years of company
experience in energy efficiency services to specific applications, and with
specific methods.
Energy Conservation and Facility Maintenance Center The Energy Conservation and Facility Maintenance Center helps industries and government agencies involved in energy-intensive operations implement conservation improvements to be more competitive and productive.
Energy Conservation and Management Division The Energy Conservation and Management Division (ECMD) focuses on efficient energy use and promotion of alternative fuels, ridesharing, waste reduction, including energy efficiency through pollution prevention, and renewable energy. Programs include: Conservation and efficiency improvements in schools, hospitals, public buildings, and Native American Tribes and Pueblos; Reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, promoting recycling and source reduction and encouraging use of renewable energy resources and alternative fuels; and Information services and energy education for small energy users.

They have included abstracts and summaries of the reports. You may obtain bound copies of the full reports by contacting Proctor Engineering Group.
Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems Programme In recognition of the significance of energy use in buildings, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has established an Implementing Agreement on Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS). This is aimed at initiating research and providing an international focus for building energy efficiency. Tasks are directed at generic energy saving technologies and activities that support their application in practice. Results are also used both nationally and internationally to develop relevant standards and guidelines.
Energy Conservation News Energy Conservation News has been an essential tool for helping companies become more energy-efficient for the past 11 years. Each month, Energy Conservation News will bring you the latest information.
Energy Conservation Products, Inc. Conservation Through Technology. Energy Conservation Products has installed nearly 2000 direct vented energy efficient conversion heaters in homes and over forty condo and apartment complexes throughout New England. Energy Conservation Products' direct vent conversion heaters offer a very economical way to heat homes and offices. The heat is more effective and in most cases is the most economical conversion cost.
Energy Crafted Homes The many discoveries and techniques which result in more comfortable, healthier homes and significant energy savings have been gathered into a single program for residential homes -- called the Energy Crafted Home (ECH) program. The ECH program not only saves on energy costs, but also results in homes which are healthier to live in, cost less to maintain, are more comfortable and have improved resale values.

Energy Efficiency 2000 The EE2000 Project assists Central and Eastern Europe and CIS countries to enhance their energy efficiency and security to ease the energy supply constraints of economic transition. The EE2000 Project assists these countries in meeting international environmental treaty obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN FCCC) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE).
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan (EECP) The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan was adopted to help achieve the City of Toronto's goal of reducing its CO2 emissions by 20% of 1988 levels by the year 2005. This 20% reduction essentially means an effective reduction of 40% from levels that would have been reached if patterns of growth and energy use had continued unabated.
