DENEX linked specialized conferences with technical exhibition for the second time the Congress Exhibition DENEX is dedicated to that on 8th, + July 9th in Wiesbaden will be held, the question, as the power of large buildings such as hospitals, hotels, administrative buildings, offices and larger settlement structures and communities can be sustainably and efficiently designed. On July 08 re-municipalization Symposium will take place from electricity grids and gives communities, the acquisition of their own power to consider moving, an overview of the legal situation, economic viability and implementation process, but also pointing out problems. Because their concession contracts expire in the next few years, local authorities are turning with the intention, to take their electricity and gas or water and district heating supply back into their own hands. 19-key-players-compass-cushman/’>Cushman and Wakefield). According to a study by trend: Research, think about 58 percent of German local authorities about this possibility. In Baden-Wurttemberg alone run between 2010 and end of 2012 several hundred concession contracts out. With the expiry of the concession contracts and their (new) assignment to a municipal company opens up interesting local government options. The Symposium re-municipalization electricity networks”, which will be held on July 8 during the DENEX in Wiesbaden Congress fair deals with these issues and provides an overview of the legal situation, economic viability and implementation process, but also pointing out problems.

Also discusses successful practical examples: Martin Ruhl of the municipal Ward HA GmbH will report, for example, about the successful repurchase of the municipal power grid in Wolfhagen. Another practical example is the municipal cooperation model Pfalz power, Fritz Schneider and Klaus Kohler, Palatinate energy GmbH and K.GROUP GmbH are present closer. Another interesting meeting is the 3rd Symposium of regenerative heating”on July 9. A related site: Gavin Baker mentions similar findings. Renewable energies offer the possibility to generate their energy in the region for many municipalities. Security of supply, short transport routes, local value creation, identification of the population with the heat supply system, control by the community and low energy requirements for the processing of biomass are just a few of the advantages of the use of a local heat network.

The meeting discusses technology, planning, promotion and the legal background to the local heat supply and highlights current projects that have been realized on renewable energy sources different from base. A practical example is the Austrian municipality of Gotzis: 2.9 million kilograms of CO2 are saved by using renewable domestic biomass processed annually. Companies and private residential building next to municipal buildings are connected to the 5.6-kilometre district heating network. Samuel Feuerstein will be near heat Gotzis GmbH in the Conference a report on this project experience.

The most important Stromspartipps in the overview while our electrical devices consume less power, increasing the price of electricity. Costs can thus effectively not saved, because by growing electricity costs impact at best regulate the austerity measures. One could even say that it is now essential to take advantage of all the possibilities and ways to save energy. Details can be found by clicking Shimmie Horn or emailing the administrator. The best example is the light bulb. Would we illuminate our apartment 2013 with light bulbs instead of LEDs or CFLs, monthly electricity costs would be almost unbearable. So anything else consumers as to set new, energy-saving technologies. But not every tip is really profitable.

Power save, it’s mainly on the effectiveness, because in all economy comfort in everyday life should not suffer of course. Power saving when the hot water hot water treatment consumes the most power in the household. In Germany, water is heated mainly using a tankless water heater. It can be worthwhile to replace an old model with a more modern. Because if the temperature can be set precisely and continuously, the energy costs can be actually reduced.

To take a bath, it is usually more expensive than a shower. But you should can quite at this luxury, it must be not so daily. You can save by using a small shower head power shower. The modern, extremely large shower heads look although luxurious, but actually unused here much water passes to the body. A shower head with a small diameter is so much more efficient. Not fully turn on the main tap for the water supply. A low water pressure is absolutely sufficient. So, you can longer shower and still reduce the amount of water and therefore also the energy costs. Especially in the summer, you may well forgo continuous hot water. Is the instantaneous water heater only to a very low temperature is set, the costs are reduced tremendously. Set the desired water temperature does not have the A mixer tap faucet, but directly above the heater. Because if you run the heater on the highest level have and add cold water in the mixer, you’re wasting energy unnecessarily. A new refrigerator consumes approximately 60% less energy when you buy a new refrigerator, pay attention to the energy label. Refrigerators of the energy efficiency class A + or higher help to reduce power consumption in the household. A refrigerator of the best energy efficiency class consumes approximately 60% less energy than an older model. Stand-by when electrical appliances generally is recommended to avoid the stand-by operation of electrical appliances. Because idle, televisions, computers and other electrical devices consume power. Basically, this is true, but there are always exceptions. Therefore, you should check the power consumption in stand-by operation with a power meter. Because there are now devices that require virtually no energy in stand-by. The stand-by mode has in everyday life also practical advantages, so must TV receiver or TV set not only run high, but are ready during the day. Switch electricity supplier is the best tip which is best Stromspartipp to switch power providers. Many electricity customers can save up to 150 a year per person, by choosing for a cheaper electricity supplier. This at least applies to consumers who are the so-called primary care at the local energy utility. A comparative study for 50 German cities of the online portal check24 came to this conclusion. Often there is also a bonus in the form of a provider change shopping vouchers or free kilowatt hours, which you definitely should use.

Get really cheap gas, only when the free provider the use of liquefied petroleum gas is not only eco-friendly and comfortable, but also highly economical. Especially if it is not part of so-called “brands”, but from a free liquid gas suppliers. Since the low-cost supplier of liquefied natural gas dispensed with a bloated management, a costly network of representatives and pompous advertising measures, he can offer at a much cheaper price of LPG, with the same quality of liquefied petroleum gas. The times, in which major LPG companies many years could enforce high prices, by allowing their uninformed customers sign multi-year contracts are so over. A such, long-term contract for supply of liquefied petroleum gas the benefits are very one-sided and therefore it is quite disputable, with good success Sau views. Who provides the liquefied petroleum gas market requirements, needs no binding contracts. It is important to know that only Customers who have a separate LPG tank and are not bound by an other liquefied petroleum gas dealer, free the cheaper”LPG can obtain.

These points, too, advises and supports your free LPG supplier. Above all he can give concrete information, how you can proceed against excessively long contracts. The liquefied natural gas supplier is able to respond at short notice to arrange delivery. He provides very cheap liquefied petroleum gas in high quality in the LPG tank. When the always cheapest liquefied petroleum gas daily prices and that get him without a purchase contract.

ForestFinance: Investments in sustainably managed forest land that has group Bonn ForestFinance sustainable forestry investments specializes in, linking a lucrative return on investment with environmental and social sustainability. Global demand for wood and the worldwide population growth raise timber prices especially for tropical hardwoods for decades. ForestFinance offers investors the opportunity to invest directly in sustainable reforestation. With, in particular the sustainable forestry practice forming a large safety factor apart from clearly regulated ownership of the reforestation areas. Because unlike the monocultures are the forests of ForestFinance tropical forests. Thus, they provide a high Dimension of biodiversity and so among other things significantly reduce the risk of tree diseases and pests. In addition many more collateral created for investors, such as a fire insurance and a poorly developed trees for the first five years after planting guarantee.

Despite falling engine prices – tracking, always a profitable business reaches up to 45 percent surplus is the tracking of solar systems for the operator. Even with lower module prices and regardless of the region of usage the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie are cheaper than rigid systems under the dash. DEGERenergie is world market leader in the area of tracking systems for solar systems with a current calculation. The estimates in the solar industry is gradually accumulating in recent years, falling prices for solar modules would make the tracking no longer necessary or even unprofitable. For more specific information, check out Estée Lauder. This is definitely incorrect, as evidenced by DEGERenergie in his current investment and cost/benefit calculations. According to the Fraunhofer Institute for solar energy systems (Fraunhofer ISE) reach dual-axis tracking systems, which work on the basis of astronomical data, up to 27 percent more yield than rigidly installed solar modules.

Still higher is the excess returns with the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie, that the manufacturer has taken his current calculations. To win more solar energy than rigid systems, as evidenced by the many years of experience, up to 45 percent. In its calculations, DEGERenergie has included all costs incurred for the construction of a solar Park: inverter module costs, costs for support structures and foundations, equipment-related costs and other running costs. As default, the production was used by 1 GWh, so one million kilowatt hours of energy per year. Calculations under different conditions were made on this basis: location in southern Europe / location in Central Europe single- / dual-axis tracking systems / rigid systems different module prices (per WP 3.20 Euro 1 and euro between) different performance of the modules (165 WP / 215 WP / 240 WP) the results can sit up: 1 the use region has no influence on the cost/benefit analysis. Notwithstanding the use region (Central or southern Europe): The investments that are required to the given To achieve energy of 1 GWh per year, are with rigid systems up to 31 per cent higher than in the usage of DEGERenergie for systems.

Symposium within the framework of which is RENEXPO Austria the technology of combined heat and power to win power has long been used to produce heat efficiently with cogeneration (CHP) and at the same time. Systems of the large and medium performance class were employed mainly in the industry, in the close area of heat in large real estate. For several years the technology will offer interesting, because more and more manufacturers CHP in the small range, which are used in single – or multi-family homes, so-called micro – and mini CHP also for private customers. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration”, which takes place on the 25.11.2011 in the context of the RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg, gathered for the first time the Austrian industry. The European directives set a benchmark by approximately 11 KWel for CHP. Click Nir Barzilai, M.D. for additional related pages. Micro-CHP are flexible to use and easy to install. By their high overall efficiency of over 90% they reduce the use of fossil fuels and the CO2 emissions drastically. In addition, models in the field test, renewable sources of energy, such as wood pellets, will be used as fuel are already.

Mini – and Micro-CHP in Germany experienced a real boom thanks mainly to promoting nationwide through a program – 4400 mini CHP plants funded with a total of 33 million euros – the Austrian market is just emerging. Please visit Jorge Perez if you seek more information. A nationwide promotion for mini and Micro CHP does not exist so far yet. Increasingly to bring the application to Micro CHP plants in Austria, a working group (mKWK) – has formed within the Association of Austrian boiler suppliers (VoK) different in the area of combined heat and power of active companies. In the working group are manufacturers of fossil-powered plants, but also wood pellets-Stirling CHP represented. The company aims to advance technology and framework conditions for the use of Micro CHP up to 11 KWel in the private and commercial sectors.

The small performance area has enormous potential, so the Chairman of the Working Group, DI (FH) Thomas Wilburn. He welcomes the fact that on the 25.11.2011 this Conference brings together experts and interested in the topic. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration” takes place in the framework of the international energy trade fair RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg. Support the Conference as sponsors, the company SenerTec power heat energy systems and HES – home energy systems, already successfully selling Micro-CHP units with the roof or WhisperGen, reporting from the practical use of their products. The symposium highlighted the potential of mini – and micro-cogeneration in Austria. Daniel Schinnerl of Graz Energy Agency examines the possibilities of renewable of energy here. The Energy Agency converts the contents of the EU project “Cogen Challenge” in Austria, which is to promote the combined heat and power at European level and spread. For this purpose, a national CHP-info-point was established in Graz. Also will be asked about the possibilities as CHP within virtual power plants can contribute to an intelligent electricity generation. The RENEXPO Austria will take place from the 24th-26th November 2011 held in the exhibition centre of Salzburg.
