        Heating Costs Ordinance

        …billing of heating costs increased to 70 % for certain buildings.This should create additional incentives for energy-saving and thus also for reduction of CO2 emissions in thebuildings sector. In addition building owners are obliged to record, for connected heating systems by 1 January 2014 at the latest, the percentage of energy consumption accounted for by water heating, in principle by meansof a heat meter. In addition the provisions of the Heating Costs Ordinance create an incentive to comply with the so-called low-energy building standard (thermal heat requirement of less than 15 kWh/M ²) in the constructionor…

        FIDE Label

        …directly or indirectly affect the saving of electrical energy. Products with a FIDE label are equipment or materials with high energy efficiency, or characteristics such that they allow you to help save electricity. For some of the products, also the longevity is assessed, requiring a longer useful life and less maintenance than their conventional equivalents, which results in economic savings in two aspects: in the saving of energy and, where appropriate, in maintenance.

         

        This label is aimed at companies interested in manufacturing products that bear a label that makes them stand out as electric energy savers or as adjuvants therein…

        International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology retrofit programme

        …Improve the Energy Efficiency of Small and Medium Buildings, the International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology is expanding deep retrofits in the US small commercial property market. In particular, ICAST offers a platform of resources to owners of small commercial apartments to undertake retrofits, including green consultants to provide energy audits, financial consultants to provide financing advice, and implementation contractors. Using a one-stop-shop approach, ICAST in partnership with DOE completed energy efficiency upgrades on 956 multi-family buildings with eight affiliates across four states and seven cities. The completed project demonstrated an annual energy savings of 103…

        Commercial Building Initiative

        The Building Technologies Office (BTO) works to identify and develop strategies and technologies to dramatically reduce commercial building energy consumption. BTO's Commercial Building Initiative (CBI) focuses on highly innovative, cost-effective, energy saving measures €”ones that promise large energy savings at cost-effective levels, but are underutilized by the market. These efforts are carried out in collaboration with researchers at national laboratories and partners within industry with the goal of dramatically reducing new and existing commercial building energy consumption. CBI guides and coordinates pulic and private partnerships to advance the development and market adoption of these measures. CBI…

        Subsidies to industry

        …2000, subsidies for investments in energy efficiency amounted to DKK 1.8 billion. About 80% of the subsidies went to the energy-intensive industries. From 2000 onward, an additional DKK 175 million/year has been allocated to the subsidy scheme, but the scheme is now open only to industry (excluding agriculture and the trade and services sector). It provides grants for three areas: investments in energy savings or efficient equipment, use of consultants and information about energy savings. In 2001 efforts in trade and services will focus on a strategy to develop, market, purchase and use more energy-efficient products…

The better results are achieved the higher the subsidy is (Climate bonus subsidy). The system rewards the bidder depending on the complexity and efficiency of the project. The bidders for the "Climate Friendly Home Panel Sub-Programme" under GIS were similar to those for the tender "Subsidy for the Energy Efficient Modernization of Pre-fabricated Buildings" managed…

        Voluntary Agreements

        …1990-2000 shows that energy efficiency improved by 15%. In 2001, discussions to conclude another voluntary agreement for industry resulted in a new voluntary agreement signed on 29 April 2002. FEDIL and the government expect that through energy savings in installations and production processes, energy efficiency could be improved by an average of 20% during the period 1990-2010. No targets for individual companies were set in these voluntary agreements. Companies were free to choose the best means to improve their efficiency. A second voluntary agreement was signed by Entent des Hopitaux EHL, aimed at improving energy efficiency in 17…
