By Carol Brzozowski In 2001, Cornell University started an energy master plan to address a growing number of concerns. “We were faced at the time with significant load growth, the need for renewal, and deeper awareness of the environmental impact associated with greenhouse gas footprint,” says Tim Peer, P.E., Cornell University’s energy plant manager. Cornell entered a long-term study of different options to provide heat and power, including package boilers, solid fuel boilers, and a continuance ...... continue reading

The report ‘Approximated EU greenhouse gas inventory: early estimates for 2011’ gives early estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in the previous year and provides a key input to the report on ‘Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2012’, which assesses progress against the EU’s commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. “The European Union as a whole will over-deliver on its Kyoto target”, Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director said. “In two months’ time we will be at the end of the fi...... continue reading

By Penelope B. Grenoble From zero net energy (ZNE) buildings come strategies that can help make for smaller mechanical systems in a building’s interior and help reduce energy costs overall. While a net-zero energy building may not be your goal, adopting strategies from the ZNE template can go a long way toward energy efficiency and reducing costs. The Warren County, KY, Board of Education has collaborated on a number of successful sustainable schools over the years. Five of them have received the...... continue reading

By Penelope B. Grenoble The optimum word in the fuel cell industry these days is commercialization, followed closely by incentives . Among manufacturers, early adopters, and government agencies there is little doubt about the efficiency of the technology across a wide variety of applications, but the question remains how long before demand drives costs down. Meanwhile, a host of clean air initiatives backed by federal and state support for new technology and sustainable energy alternatives are driving i...... continue reading

Fairfax, Virginia—April 25, 2012 - The new Central Utility Plant (CUP) at the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, which opened in 2011 in Northern Virginia, is now fully operational and serving the entire 1.27-million-square-foot healthcare complex. Designed by Dewberry as part of the HDR/Dewberry joint venture, the plant helps avoid the emission of more than 4,000 tons of greenhouse gases and air pollutants per year. The complex is also estimated to consume 27.6% less energy per year than a typical ...... continue reading
