  Multifamily residential (MFR) market barriers to energy efficiency are well documented, particularly the split-incentive barrier between property owners and renters. Utilizing a randomized encouragement design (RED), two Southern California utilities and three water agencies, have embarked on a large-scale, year-long pilot program designed to induce MFR complexes to reduce gas and electricity use by 10% each, and water by more than 10% (10-10- 10+). A randomly selected group of MFR customers were split into one control group (N=1000), one treatment group (N=650) which received mailers, and another treatment group (N=360) which received mailers as well as on-site marketing materials such as tenant door hangers. The pilot uses competition and rewards to encourage participating MFR complexes to improve Energy Use Intensities (EUIs) and Building Benchmarking Scores. This pilot differs from other existing energy competition programs in that it employs a scalable RED) to drive conservation. Each complex’s performance is tracked during the pilot period, and competition winners will be rewarded at the end of the competition. The pilot employs Residential Energy and Water Intelligence’s Portfolio Analyst© software, as an alternative to the US EPA’s Portfolio Manager, due to its ability to mass-calculate benchmarking results for the approximately 2000 properties involved in the pilot. Water conservation recommendations are developed through remote sensing analysis of MFR landscaping. While it is too early in the competition period to measure impacts of the behavioral interventions, the pilot’s cutting-edge quasi-experimental design will facilitate rigorous savings estimation, and the techniques employed can be employed immediately by other utilities seeking to overcome similar barriers and challenges to encourage energy efficiency behaviors in MFR customers.

  EU industrial emissions rules in action
  Cement sector eco-innovation

  Modernising a cement plant led to less air pollution as well as significant water and energy savings. It also lowered production costs and improved the company’s standing among neighbouring communities. This success story is based on an actual case study of a cement plant and demonstrates that E...

  Modernising a cement plant led to less air pollution as well as significant water and energy savings. It also lowered production costs and improved the company’s standing among neighbouring communities. This success story is based on an actual case study of a cement plant and demonstrates that EU industrial emissions legislation not only brings environmental improvements but also creates opportunities for companies to: improve their business; send a ‘we care’ signal to the public by investing in modern, cleaner technology for a more sustainable future; boost energy efficiency and use less fossil fuels.

  This book in three volumes contains the papers presented at the ninth international conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting. EEDAL'2017 organised in Irvine, CA, USA by California Plug Load Research Center (CalPlug) at the University of California, Irvine on 13-15 September 2017. This major international conference has been very successful in attracting an international community of stakeholders consumption (including manufacturers, consumers, governments, international organisations, academia and experts) dealing with residential appliances, equipment, metering, lighting, residential building energy to discuss the progress achieved in technologies, behavioural aspects and policies, the strategies that need to be implemented to further progress this important work. Potential readers who may benefit from this book include researchers, engineers, policymakers, and all those who can influence the design, selection, application, and operation of electrical appliances and residential buildings.

  The European Code of Conduct for Data Centres is a voluntary market transformation programme addressing data centre owners and operators. The Data Centres Code of Conduct has been created in response to increasing energy consumption in data centres and the need to reduce the related environmental, economic and energy supply impacts. The aim is to inform and stimulate operators and owners to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner without hampering the critical function of data centres. The Data Centres Code of Conduct is in operation since 2008 and so far more than 300 data centres of different size and IT services have joined the Code of Conduct. The core of the programme is the commitment by the participant to carry out an initial energy audit to identify the major energy saving opportunities; to prepare an action plan; to implement the action plan; and to monitor energy consumption. At the heart of the Code of Conduct are the Best Practices Guidelines, which indicate the areas for energy efficiency upgrades in data centres, covering dayto- day operations, equipment substitution, major refurbishment and new data centre design. The Best Practices Guidelines reflect the principle of area of responsibility for each type operators.
