Sentences with phrase «through lower energy consumption»

The organisation helps customers save money and reduce the strain on fresh water resources by decreasing consumption, CO2 emissions and operational costs through lower energy consumption, raw material and sewage treatment.

Not exact matches

Other similar billion - ton savings in emissions (what Princeton University professors Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow have dubbed «stabilization wedges») are desperately needed and can come only from reduction in fossil - fuel consumption through energy efficiency, low - carbon technologies and changes in way of life.

Good indoor air quality and low carbon emissions can be achieved through natural ventilation, when possible, which can refresh indoor air without increasing energy consumption, but this requires good outdoor air quality.

The «A» stands for «active commitment to compliance and continuous improvement»; «R» for «reduction of pollution through waste minimization, lowered materials consumption, and energy conservation»; «T» for «training and educating faculty, students, and staff about the environmental considerations of their activities»; and «S» for «stewardship in enhancing the quality of life for our employees, faculty, students, and neighboring community.»

One Planet Living principle Masdar Target ZERO CARBON 100 per cent of energy supplied by renewable energy — Photovoltaics, concentrated solar power, wind, waste to energy and other technologies ZERO WASTE 99 per cent diversion of waste from landfill (includes waste reduction measures, re-use of waste wherever possible, recycling, composting, waste to energy) SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT Zero carbon emissions from transport within the city; implementation of measures to reduce the carbon cost of journeys to the city boundaries (through facilitating and encouraging the use of public transport, vehicle sharing, supporting low emissions vehicle initiatives) SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS Specifying high recycled materials content within building products; tracking and encouraging the reduction of embodied energy within material sand throughout the construction process; specifying the use of sustainable materials such as Forest Stewardship Council certified timber, bamboo and other products SUSTAINABLE FOOD Retail outlets to meet targets for supplying organic food and sustainable and or fair trade products SUSTAINABLE WATER Per capita water consumption to be at least 50 per cent less than the national average; all waste water to be re-used HABITATS AND WILDLIFE All valuable species to be conserved or relocated with positive mitigation targets CULTURE AND HERITAGE Architecture to integrate local values.

Moreover, they drive climate change by encouraging the consumption of polluting fuels while tilting the playing field against renewable power and energy efficiency: Fossil - fuel subsidies are five times greater than renewable energy subsidies, and they inflate domestic demand and discourage energy efficiency through artificially low energy prices, undermining the energy security of fossil - fuel importing countries.

Despite the rapid growth in buildings energy consumption, the IEO2017 Reference case shows that, among the IEO2017 regions, India's per capita buildings energy use through 2040 is the second lowest after Africa.

ENERGY STAR laboratory grade equipment can reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills through the use of technologies such as more efficient cooling compressors, advanced microprocessor temperature control and defrost sensors, more efficient high - capacity air circulation systems, and innovative refrigeENERGY STAR laboratory grade equipment can reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills through the use of technologies such as more efficient cooling compressors, advanced microprocessor temperature control and defrost sensors, more efficient high - capacity air circulation systems, and innovative refrigeenergy consumption and lower utility bills through the use of technologies such as more efficient cooling compressors, advanced microprocessor temperature control and defrost sensors, more efficient high - capacity air circulation systems, and innovative refrigerants.

This can occur through (1) relocation of energy - intensive production in non-constrained regions; (2) increased consumption of fossil fuels in these regions through decline in the international price of oil and gas triggered by lower demand for these energies; and (3) changes in incomes (thus in energy demand) because of better terms of trade.

The strategy for achieving zero net energy was to lower building consumption through a high efficiency enclosure and mechanical as much as possible and follow up with a photovoltaic installation to generate the remaining amount of energy needed to operate the building over the course of a year.

Factors taken into account are: low thermal efficiency at low power; cycling of back up generators; energy needed to build and to install wind turbines; energy needed for cabling and net adaptation; increase of fuel consumption through partial replacement of efficient generators by low - efficiency, fast reacting Open Cycle Gas Turbines.

-- Consume more wisely: Through low - footprint lifestyles, sustainable energy use and healthier food consumption patterns.

Moreover, waste prevention, minimization, material recovery, recycling and re-use represent a growing potential for indirect reduction of GHG emissions through decreased waste generation, lower raw material consumption, reduced energy demand and fossil fuel avoidance.
