H.R. 2454, sponsored by Democratic Reps. Henry Waxman of California and Edward Markey of Massachusetts, would require residential and commercial buildings to be 30 percent more efficient than the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code.

Under such a scheme, hotels, shopping malls and office buildings that use energy beyond a set limit would be required to buy more allowances, while those that become more efficient could sell allowances they no longer need.

Energy Efficient: Like a slow - cooker the heat source is electric and built in so it doesn't require a separate gas or electric stove and is more energy effiEnergy Efficient: Like a slow - cooker the heat source is electric and built in so it doesn't require a separate gas or electric stove and is more energy eEfficient: Like a slow - cooker the heat source is electric and built in so it doesn't require a separate gas or electric stove and is more energy effienergy efficientefficient.

For example you could just floor the accelerator and rapidly produce the energy required but there is no way for you to know whether that path is more efficient than building that energy over a longer period of time.

Only 19 % of voters expressed a preference for waiting until cleaner technologies were available.The top strategy voters favored to lower global warming - induced pollution was requiring appliance makers to build more energy - efficient products and providing the public with better incentives to invest in solar energy and insulation.

New homes, indeed new everything, from appliances and computers to automobiles and aircraft, are required to be more energy - efficient — the result of a hard - won societal decision to build efficiencies into product design rather than leave them to an energy marketplace whose prices don't fully reflect environmental costs.

The current administration of Gov. James E. McGreevey (D) is working on other tough measures, including increasing the state's use of renewable energy, building more energy - efficient public schools, and requiring utilities and large manufacturers to report periodically their emissions of

ETC claims that the world must fund «investment in renewables and other low - carbon technologies some $ 6 trillion higher ($ 300 billion per year); while the largest required increases — of almost $ 9 trillion ($ 450 billion per year)-- will be in more efficient energy saving equipment and buildings.»

The Marine Science Building is UCSB's second LEED for New Construction certified building and is 25 % more energy efficient than California building codes Building is UCSB's second LEED for New Construction certified building and is 25 % more energy efficient than California building codes building and is 25 % more energy efficient than California building codes building codes require.

Cutting edge data centers of the future will require less of a physical human presence, and are likely to: â $ cents Rely on a VIL to optimize equipment management and provide for virtual remote control capable of instant changes, switches and adds â $ cents Achieve LEED certification for the physical building â $ cents Rely on more efficient water cooling that potentially takes advantage of an on - site tower to chill water for cooling the system (thus reducing energy consumption by using nature's natural cooling power to chill water) â $ cents Use fluid dynamics models to precisely design the interior of the building to maximize the efficiency of the HV / AC system for air - cooled computing systems â $ cents Tap into a mixed energy grid that relies on green energy sources such as solar, wind or hydroelectric (depending on geographic feasibility), along with a reliable city grid thus avoiding the need for the standard back - up Uninterruptible Power Supply (which will reduce equipment costs, minimize floor space used, and increase energy efficiency because systems that employ a UPS convert AC to DC and back, incurring substantial energy losses).

Because she's afraid it would require her to make Alaskan buildings more energy efficient.

Conversely, the less compact a building is, the more insulation will be required for the building to be energy efficient.
