        GB 19577-2015: Minimum Energy Performance Standards for water chillers

        MEPS for electric water chiller with vapor compression cycle. Energy performance, here indicated through Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) for different capacity ranges are:
         
        air-cooled or evaporating cooled

        CC = 50 kW: COP 2.50, IPLV 2.80;  
        CC  > 50 kW: COP 2.70, IPLV 2.90; water-cooled:  

         
        water-cooled

        CC = 528 kW: COP 4.20, IPLV 5.00;  
         528 kW < CC = 1163 kW: COP4.70, IPLV 5.50;
         CC > 1163 kW: COP 5.20, IPLV 5.90

         
        IPLV = Integrated Part Load Value
        CC = Cooling capacity
        COP= Coefficient of Performance

        Implementation of EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

        Upon its publication in the EU Official Journal on 4 January 2003, the EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) entered into EU law, allowing member states until 4 January 2006 to transpose the Directive into domestic building codes. The Directives principal objectives are: To promote the improvement of the energy performance of buildings within the EU through cost effective measures; To promote the convergence of building standards towards those of Member States which already have ambitious levels. Measures include: Methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings; Application of performance standards on new and existing buildings; Certification…

        Energy Labelling of Smaller Buildings

        The energy labelling of buildings in Denmark was developed in the context of a long history of energy saving policy initiatives. Energy labelling was and is still seen as an important way to achieve energy savings in buildings - both existing and new - since the potential for energy savings in these areas is considered quite large. Every house-owner may have an audit of his building, describing the present energy conditions with recommendations for possible energy saving measures in the building shell and heating equipment. When dealing in real estate, an audit is required if the building has an area of…

        Notice on planning the exploitation and utilization of geothermal energy for power and heating

        The Notice provides a general guidance on short and long term development of the geothermal power in China for electricity and heat production.
        The short-term efforts will be focused on the exploitation of the geothermal power from shallow and medium-deep sources. The heat will be generated for heating purposes and power generation if applicable.
        In the long-term, the aim is to develop geothermal energy from medium-high temperature sources and from resources located in the hot dry rock.

        New podcast episode highlights 10 options to ease impacts of rising oil prices on consumers

        The latest episode of the IEA’s Everything Energy podcast explores the steps that governments, businesses and households can take to reduce the impacts of rising oil prices amid supply disruptions stemming from the war in the Middle East.Now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, the episode features Stéphanie Bouckaert, Head of the IEA’s Demand Sectors Unit, and Lucas Boehlé, an IEA analyst focused on energy efficiency. They note that while the IEA is coordinating the release of 400 million barrels of oil from its Member countries’ emergency reserves to help counter the supply disruptions, actions on the demand side can also play a…
