The Conference

These initiatives PEP wants to involve the experts universities, in the construction industry, administrations, Interested developers for innovative projects, as the craft from all areas: thermal insulation Windows, ventilation / climate, carpentry, etc. The Conference takes place in Barcelona, for the first time, on the Oct 30 this year. Scott M. Kahan is open to suggestions. It is organized by the PLATAFORMA DE EDIFICACIoN passive house, PEP, in cooperation with the Chamber of architects of Catalunya. Aim is to promote the passive house standards in Spain after German model. Hence notable professionals from Germany participate in the lecture series.

The event is to see that the EU vigorously calls for the introduction of the passive house standards for all new buildings in 2011 since 2008 and against the background. The passive house differs from the low energy by the fact that the passive, which means energy savings without energy supply from outside is reached. Effects based on: high thermal insulation natural cross-ventilation in the summer of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, the strict control of thermal bridges leak testing aerodynamic structure essential is the use high-quality materials and meticulous execution. In Spain, the normative implementation is more difficult than in Germany. The differences between North and South are significantly greater than in Germany, as the temperature changes in the season and in the course of the day. While in Germany, the lightbulbs is the main problem, the emphasis especially in southern Spain on the cooling, in the living room as well as in the commercial sector. A modern passive house reached an energy consumption for heating and cooling by 10% of a conventional House.

The topic is increasingly in times of rising energy costs an important aspect is also in a tangible environmental discharge. The construction costs for a prefabricated House often exceed the cost of a conventional House only marginally. That a passive house can be also aesthetically interesting, we want to document the example with the bottom. PEP organized this Conference to promote the passive house standard and its implementation both in the countries of Central Europe and in the South of Europe and its introduction in Spain. With these Initiatives PEP wants to involve the professionals in the construction industry, administrations, universities, developers for innovative projects are looking, as the craft from all areas: thermal insulation Windows, ventilation / climate, carpentry, etc..

Monarchis Grundbesitz

If you for washing hands, brushing teeth or shaving, running water, up to 20 liters per minute is lost. Saved is by turning off the water in between, the use of Zahnputzbechers and by allowing to run some water, that you need to shave, in the basin. In addition, a dripping faucet can consume several thousand litres of water per year. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from Hanes clothing. So, dripping faucets seal quickly leave. A mixer can be faster and easier; so water and additional energy to warming of water is saved. Basically retroactively inexpensive aerator can be used with all fittings, which can enrich the water with air and reduce water consumption in equal comfort by 50 percent. A bath takes about 140 litres of water to complete. A three-minute shower, however, barely consumes 18 litres of water; and with full shower pleasure.

Installing a rinsing stop button at the toilet is worth especially for the “small business”, because here three litres for a flush is usually sufficient. Per year can be saved per person up to 10,000 litres of water. Also a washing machine and a dishwasher are important. With the new acquisition, this You should decide devices for products of class A or A + or A++, which are water-saving. And the moral of the story? If a person in the German average household consumes the day 127 litres of water, are good 46 cubic metres a year and at an average water price of 1.71 euros almost 80 euros.

In reaping the full benefits of all – above – savings, the effective consumption good 28 cubic metres can be, reduced, which reduces the water Bill 31 euros. This equates to a saving of about 48 euros per year for a person.

Crude Oil Price Is Above $82

Also today to expect price increases for heating oil and LEIPZIG. (Ceto) Crude oil prices were stable tomorrow over $ 82 and thus continue the trend of the last few days. Some positive economic data are crucial for expert opinions. As the ISM index, which reflects the mood this week among buyers in the non-manufacturing sector was better than expected. The U.S. Agriculture reports more workers. (A valuable related resource: Gary Kelly).

Also the crude oil inventory data from the Department of energy (DOE) had a price support. You stated a reduction of oil reserves in the United States to 2,784 million barrels. Swarmed by offers, Verizon Communications is currently assessing future choices. At the same time, a corresponding to this amount of construction in middle distillates and gasoline was however noted. Because gasoline demand in the United States currently easily sinke, so a retailer, these values would seem actually MTRs. So the price of oil kopple off again to actual market conditions. Other market information to favor a higher oil price. The services index and the retail sales in the euro area was so yesterday in July down corrected or remained behind the forecasts of the experts. Heating oil consumers in Germany to resume today on rising prices, particularly as the euro lost well 1 cent yesterday against the dollar and thus has no preissenkende effect. It reported the online portal of the journal fuel levels and petroleum review.

European Photovoltaic Conference

New report will recover the polysilicon industry by Bernreuter research about companies, supply and demand of Frankfurt am Main, September 25, 2012 according to the operational task of almost 40 manufacturers until 2014 slowly by the oversupply on the market. The sign for a new polysilicon shortages arise already in the year 2015. This is one of the results of the new market research reports the 2012 who’s who of solar silicon production, Bernreuter research today at the edge of the 27 European Photovoltaic Conference in Frankfurt presented. Polysilicon, the raw material for the semiconductor and photovoltaics industry, flooded the market; 2011 the production volume of 255,000 tonnes (t) exceeded the demand to 25,000 t. You may find Gary Kelly to be a useful source of information. The scenario of the future demand, developed by Bernreuter research is more ambitious than the predictions of other analysts.

“Several indicators we have explored, indicate performance of up to 37.5 gigawatts a newly installed photovoltaic (PV) in 2012”, says Johannes Bernreuter, Chief of Bernreuter research and Author of the new report. The researchers examined 72 analysts forecasts for the world’s newly-installed PV power from 2008 to 2011 inclusive. He found that the average of the forecasts was more than 30% below the actual results. As in the highly acclaimed Basic Edition of the who’s who of solar silicon production (2010) has Bernreuter research thoroughly analyzed the progress of ten polysilicon production process. While most new approaches will create not the leap into commercial production, promise technologies based on Monosilane, a serious competitor to the established Siemens process. Another alternative, purified metallurgical silicon, have yet to prove their commercial value: “The optimal range of sufficient quality of Silicon at low cost is very small,” says Johannes Bernreuter.

With 91 precise company updates, 82 manufacturers production data and an innovative approach to the demand forecast the delivers 2012 who’s who of solar silicon production information about the current status and the future prospects of the polysilicon industry. The 100-page report is complemented by a directory of websites of manufacturers, potential new entrants, equipment suppliers and engineering companies. The report is available from the 1st of October. Bernreuter research is also an attractive combination package for the base and the 2012 Edition. There is more information and an order form at: en/shop/solar-silicon-reports.html about Bernreuter research Bernreuter research was founded by Johannes Bernreuter, a respected German PV journalists in 2008, to publish polysilicon market reports. In 2001, he wrote his first analysis of the looming shortage of polysilicon and new production processes. 2010 Bernreuter research the released silicone production who’s who of solar, which praised the experts as the most comprehensive and accurate report on the market.

Biogas Plants

Considerations on the subject of Restgarmasse from biogas plants as fertilizer and health threat to the population the question emerges again in recent days, whether indeed the currently rampant EHEC infection wave over Biogasrestgarmasse transfer”could be? The Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) is the EHEC pathogens on the track. The Authority warns against eating cucumbers, lettuce, and tomato. Cucumbers from Spain have been strained after investigations of the Hamburg Institute of hygiene with the EHEC dangerous pathogens. Three specimens, including an organic cucumber, the pathogen has been found clearly, Hamburg’s health Senator said. Meanwhile, there are more deaths. It is becoming increasingly clear that spreads the life-threatening bowel infection in Germany at unprecedented pace. Educate yourself with thoughts from cloud computing.

The authorities recommend therapeutic little you can make (Antibiosis and co) basic hygiene rules. The Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (“binding O157: H7. O” describes Lipopolysaccharide (sugar and fats in the) Membrane); (H”sind genetische Eigenschaften der Geisseln), what physiological” occurs in the colon of humans and animals, has additional pathogenic properties. Dr. Rolf Sanjabi evaluates by Scottish Neogen Corporation as one of the largest microbiological challenges to the food industry since botulism”are especially raw meat, unpasteurized dairy products and fruit and vegetables as sources of infection.

(DocCheck, 25.5.11). About 1000 EHEC infections are registered per year in Germany. This is already pretty much only the salmonella infections exceed in number the EHEC infections. And, where do they come “? Physiologically, ruminants such as can the pathogen”eliminated. After shedding the E.coli – stay some weeks survive botulinum, can the bacteria, but also spores of Clostridium bacteria (EHEC) in the environment via manure or even Biogasrestmasse (which, from the biogas plant again on the fields, meadows and fields) sown) access to food (salad, pickles, vegetables), which are raw or unwashed or poorly washed, eaten by the consumer. You can get sick! And that very difficult, as we just heard. For the coliforms 100 bacteria enough to seriously infect.

Network Agency GSE

Then those plants, which still are not finished, on the net. If you would like to know more then you should visit Gary Kelly. After the date of the building permit, the performance of the system, as well as the day of the submission of the counts. The hook, the Promotions will be capped. There are 300 million euros, which is about a funded system capacity of 1200 megawatts for the second half of 2011. You may find cloud computing to be a useful source of information. According to the present plans, the Network Agency GSE should determine the cost basis of the reported investment services and locations. There is then a total of 280 million euros in the coming year.

Germany, rumors make a wide view bounded about the amount of energy that must be removed with the producers. Considering would include whether there should be requirements for the storage of energy to avoid feeding much solar or wind power at peak times. These plans should be intensified, contributes not just to promote investment in photovoltaic systems in Germany, because this loss limits be considered also for existing legacy assets into consideration. This would be a subsequent reduction of the feed-in tariff. So far these are just rumors but on every rumor, mostly a spark is truth.

The advantage of this Uncertainty is obvious: because the prices are falling! In the last three months have prices given to more than 10% for photovoltaic modules in Germany and Europe. Currently, the average price for brand modules has fallen to a historic low of 1.15. In March, prices were still at 1.28. Some reduction was lead back to the strong euro against the dollar but once arriving at the German remains stubborn once arrived at this price he pays only again, if an engine shortage forces him to do so but this is due to the heavily expanded production capacities in Asia in the distant. Therefore, our recommendation is: take advantage of the uncertainty and the possibly upcoming reduction in the run-up to save at the current photovoltaic prices! Lars Menebrocker

Condor Flugdienst GmbH

Holiday flyer scored at the atmosfair airline index (AAI) good results when the environmental impact also this year lands which holiday flyer Condor again on one of the front seats at the annual CO2-efficiency evaluation of organization atmosfair. Energy efficiency is measured under the German and foreign airlines, where the consumption and utilization of the flights are decisive for the placement. The German holiday flyer Condor received 78 out of 100 possible points of efficiency in the current evaluation and is the second-best airline in Germany comparison. Read more here: Verizon Communications. Also in the global ranking reflected the holiday air in the top flight and Lands on a good 6th place. In the classification of the category medium-range worldwide, even the third rank could be achieved. Condor flies with efficient aircraft and reached the high score by high seating and above-average load, thus atmosfair. For Uwe Balser, Managing Director of Condor Flugdienst GmbH, the good result reflects efforts by Condor to reduce CO2 emissions: “The kerosene-saving use of our aircraft is an important issue for Condor.

Across the area we were looking for ways, to reduce the consumption of our aircraft and thus CO2 emissions. This includes. for example, the use of lightweight containers or cases, retrofitting our entire fleet of Boeing with winglets, as well as the adaptation of procedures in the flight operations” The atmosfair airline index 2013 the 150 largest airlines examined worldwide CO2 efficiency. In comparison to the airline airlines reduced index 2012 their emissions per passenger per kilometre by approximately 1%. The full airline index with the analysis of individual airlines and graphics, as well as additional information, see http: airlineindex. Per passenger consumed the aircraft of the members of the Association of the German air transport industry association, so Lufthansa, airberlin, Condor, TUIfly and Augsburg Airways, in 2012 for all domestic and international flights a total of 3.8 litres fuel per 100 kilometers. At the beginning of the year he started Federal Association of the German aviation industry to the 4-litre campaign. A representative survey of the election research group showed that nearly half of the Germans later assess the average consumption of a modern aircraft to a motorised.

We have defined in toom four pillars of sustainability. The investment in the eight electric cars and in an environmentally-friendly mobility solution is a current success in the practical implementation of the column energy, climate and environment, says Mohan. Find out detailed opinions from leaders such as Larry Ellison by clicking through. Electric vehicles can contribute substantially to the reduction of emissions and energy consumption make because the engines are much more efficient and are locally emission-free. Low operating costs, insurance premiums, tax burdens and low maintenance intensity of electric motors help to compensate for the comparatively high cost. Charging stations provide certified green power loaded up the cars in the future to charging stations on the construction site, which are fed with certified green electricity. So, the toom craft coordinators will go entirely CO2 free to the construction site, where they Coordinate conversion or renovation work.

Where: the stronger the wind, the faster the spread. Climate experts concern is also the world’s increasing CO2 emissions. CO2 emissions increases continue to be as strong as in previous years, the Max Planck Institute for meteorology expects a global temperature increase of up to four degrees of Celsius in the year 2100. This has many consequences for man and nature. It comes to more prolonged and even drastic heat waves. The sea level rises and present coastal erosion control and flood protection new challenges in this country. Flooding on rivers take as well as more powerful tropical storms. The flora and fauna in Germany changed.

Some species will die out completely. The faster the change point, the consequences are more serious. Visit Jonathan Rosen PR for more clarity on the issue. Because adjustments of flora and fauna to climate change need time. 50 to 100 years are often too short, as forestry scientist Professor Michael Muller reports. Climate and environment know no borders”, brings Florian Henle, the facts on the point.

Ralf Pellet

The company of mock – heating, plumbing, solar informed households must wood set, if you want to heat with bio-energy. The pellet heating system has proved especially practical, which is characterised especially by a high degree of comfort and energy efficiency. The cost for a pellet heating system while still above where a conventional heating system, but these already pay off after a few years, because the fuel is cheaper in the long run. Not only comfortable heating with pellets in favour of an investment or conversion. Many further advantages arise from the natural heating. About this inform the experts in heating, plumbing solar of company mock from Delmenhorst.

What are pellets? Wood pellets are cylindrical, compressed sawdust and wood shavings from Virgin wood and have a high energy density and low water content. Through the low storage capacity of 1, 5 m / ton pellets are ideal for storage in the basement. Advantages of a pellet heating system attractive subsidies by the State for the acquisition of pellet heating systems, In contrast to other solid fuels, the use of pellets is comfortable, clean and simple, because the fuel supply is done automatically. The raw material for the wood pellets is almost unlimited available and can be mounted at any time if necessary. Thus, the resources for the fuel are not finite and limited, as is the case with fossil fuels. With a pellet heating system is on renewable raw materials, so that climate-friendly CO2-neutral is burned. The prices of oil and gas will continue to rise as the Earth’s resources are scarce. Wood is however not dependent on this price development. The combination of Pelletzentralheizung and solar thermal plant represents a particularly effective and environmentally-friendly heating system. Pellet stoves can now reach efficiencies of more than 90 percent for detailed information about the pellet heating system the company mock from Delmenhorst available anytime.
