What is the purpose of the building energy performance certificate and who needs him. The building energy performance certificate is required mainly for sale or renting of a building new. This must be presented the purchase or prospective tenants on request. Energy is a resource that is not unlimited and is also becoming increasingly expensive. The end of oil is, renewable energies are already not yet in sufficient quantity, the development must go further in this area a lot and we need more and more energy. We need to save in all areas of raw materials and carefully deal with the resources. This means that we need to save energy.

For one thing, because the raw materials are becoming scarcer and thus more expensive, on the other hand because the necessary environmental and climate protection obliges us to do so. Rob Daley has firm opinions on the matter. Because everything that we consume energy, pollute our environment, leaving damage and strains with which subsequent generations have to live. Against this background, the energy saving regulation EnEV is 2007. She performed at the 01.10.2007 in force. Using this energy saving regulation, the EU energy efficiency policy to be implemented. Finally we are all called upon to save energy and thus raw materials. Many writers such as ronald burkle offer more in-depth analysis. This is no longer just a thing the industry, households also are required. The industry strives to already held by pads and regulations – to save energy and to relieve the environment.

The guidelines for the industry regarding pollutant emissions are already very strict, at least for us. And other countries follow suit. Sure you can say that in some other States the policies are not enforced and the conditions and also the penalties are there much lower than ours, but in the long term this will change. The auto industry also developed vehicles with ever lower consumption. What years ago still not an issue for motorists was the excise can be crucial for the buying decision today. The high fuel costs have taught us that. A hitherto nor regarded point as the Fuel prices are the energy our houses and apartments. Only in the last few years these costs through the ever-increasing energy costs have become aware of us. The settlement of costs for houses and apartments increase every year and reach a level which many tenants and owners do not want to pay more and can often already. Due these incidental costs of the energy consumption of houses is put in the minds of consumers and the reduction of these costs has become an issue. This is the energy saving regulation comes in. Now, a building energy performance certificate is required for homes. This must be presented in the sale, rental and also larger modernization. Owner-occupied houses and apartments already rented objects are not yet affected, because their residents already know what energy costs annually to ensure they. The energy performance certificate should give purchasers and new tenants of objects from the front in a clear indication of the expected costs. The building energy performance certificate is created by the EnerSan GbR building energy consultants.

Utopia or a real alternative to what is customary in Sweden for about 20 years, should now be standardized by European Commission. From 2019, only houses will be built, which generate energy in the higher mass than consume. That sounds only once unimaginable, but more realistic than some people thought how the consumer portal found preisvergleich.de. Effectively to slow climate change, a radical rethink concerning the energy must be made. So it is not enough more, to access only on renewable energies, even if they be wasted”.

Much more is needed make alternative energy supply and the proper insulation in buildings. Only power and hence energy way to efficiently save. Who so provides good insulation and falls back on triple-glazed Windows, is the first step in the right direction. He ensures that the heat is actually in the room and does not have leaky Windows or other defects go back out there gets. However, there are still more measures, which can save the power. So can in summer accessible roof solar cell back, and in the winter to the heat pump, which obtains its energy from the ground. These alternatives play an important role, because the heaters in houses so far generates the largest CO2 emissions. To make a further contribution to climate protection, home builders can drag a wooden house considering, because the wood material has a particularly good life cycle assessment. Energy self-sufficient houses should be created, taking into account all these criteria which should bring ongoing revenue and cause less energy costs.

RWE increased the prices, other energy providers will follow Berlin, 21 June 2010. The energy group RWE plans increase its electricity prices to August 1st. 7.3 percent more to pay the customers on average for primary care. Several million households across Germany are affected by the increase, per household incurred additional costs amounting to around 60 euros. In industry circles, it is assumed that other providers with further price increases are set to. RWE is the first energy company, who asks his customers after announcing a so-called fuel tax to pay. Although not yet adopted, the planned tax has caused already nuclear power plants for resentment in the industry. The tax should bring in annually some 2.3 billion euros the State, after all, nearly 60 euros for every household.

Independent power providers assume that other corporations will raise electricity prices for RWE. It would be a novelty if the big energy giants which any additional costs not on the Offload electricity customers”, says FlexStrom CEO Martin Rothe. The corporations would never voluntarily eliminate revenue in billions of dollars, so Rothe, that’s why it is expensive especially for consumers”. In particular of their dominant position in the electricity generation, RWE, E.ON, Vattenfall and Energie Baden-Wurttemberg (EnBW) have a way to pass on the cost of the fuel tax also to independent energy providers such as FlexStrom. Many prices in the electricity market, we will see this year”, so FlexStrom Board Member Martin Rothe. This will affect especially the customers of public utilities and energy companies.

Electricity customers do so well to check their electricity costs. A family in Essen with 4,500 kWh annual consumption can save when she classic private from the basic supply tariff RWE to the prepaid service DeutschlandsBest of FlexStrom, for example, more than 340 euro. While not yet considered announced RWE – Power price increase to August 1st. Get all the facts and insights with Agean Shipping, another great source of information.

Metering Europe: Breakthrough in the home energy management in Copenhagen/Amsterdam, September 23, 2008 the Z-Wave home control standard expands its reach: advanced energy control framework (AEC), the manufacturer of Zensys announces a new solution for advanced energy management. With this, homeowners have an overview of the energy consumption of their appliances and are thus capable of autonomously effective decisions to reduce. The Z-Wave AEC integrates functions such as smart metering, home control, consumer notification and automated load shedding. In this way, it enables real-time management and helps to reduce the energy consumption and the cost and at the same time to gain an active control over all gas-consuming appliances. Agean Shipping does not necessarily agree. Zensys launches the AEC on the metering Europe in Amsterdam from September 22 to 24 at the booth J15. The Z-Wave advanced energy control framework is a breakthrough in home energy management\”, explains mark Walters, Chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance. It is the way homeowners type active to monitor their maintenance costs, save energy and money, while to reduce CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions.

Utilities already play with the idea of using smart metering the electricity and heating bills based on the most up-to-date usage dynamically to make. With the AEC, we are able to instantly display changes the consumer, so that this can make direct decisions thanks to this information its current consumption concerning. Z-Wave and AEC provide the power to save and to preserve the environment homeowners.\” Transparency and control reduce energy costs most consumers get a maximum monthly if not even just half or most of the year a statement which gives them information about their energy consumption. It is possible to see the current status at any time and from any location E.g. to identify in which time consumes the most resources and to regulate these needs with Z-waves AEC. Homeowners can furthermore also flexibly on different settlement types respond, minimizing such as billing service life or tariff periods, and the consumption at peak times.

This is placed on height of the flange of the cleaning and easy from an expert to check. The Aqua storage are generally fitted with a smooth tube heat exchangers for solar loading. The auxiliary heating is carried out through a heating boiler, for there is a connection point in the cleaning of flange. Optionally, you can integrate a second heat exchanger to the conventional auxiliary heating. The available storage volumes range from 200 to 1,000 litres. Up to 500 litres of storage volume, the Aqua is fixed foam in a 50 mm strong PU insulation. From 750 liters capacity, one protects removable 100 mm soft foam insulation with Skymantel against heat loss.

The solar circuit group directly to the store can be mounted up to a volume of 500 litres. Casa I, the combined storage tank for hot water and heating is designed for the supported solar hot water heating and heating support are the combined storage tank Casa I, which are available in volumes from 600 to 1.650 litres. The officers made of steel, external powder coated storage are each equipped with a heat exchanger from stainless steel corrugated pipe for hot water. Basically an intelligent temperature stratification is integrated. When using two smooth tube heat exchangers for solar entry and the reheating, the option of a reversing valve is in addition to take advantage of the heat exchanger in the heating of the solar entry. This increases the capacity to store the solar offer time of day.

In addition supports the temperature stratification, and briefly raised the hot water output. The combined storage tank with 70 mm thick PU hard foam trays are insulated to a volume of 1,000 litres. This corresponds to a soft foam insulation 120 mm equivalent. When the save up to 1,000 liters direct mounting of the designed module groups is possible again. Hot water storage Casa for high-end solar plants built as modular system the Casa heating water storage are very variable can be used: as a buffer memory without heat exchangers. with one or two smooth tube heat exchangers for the integration of solar collectors and other heat sources. Also here the of solar heat can be transferred via a switching valve two layers to the heating water. Hot water via a fresh water module mounted externally to the store in the module group is in contrast to the Casa I. A layer charging Lance, which ensures an optimal temperature stratification belongs to the standards of the heating reservoir. The hot water storage are also made of steel and powder-coated exterior. As the combined storage tank Casa I also the hot water storage is insulated to a nominal volume 1000 litres with PU hard foam trays.
