Energy efficiency

A measure of the percent of moisture actually in the air compared with what would be in it if it were fully saturated at that temperature. When the air is fully saturated, its relative humidity is ...

Hertz

Energy; Energy efficiency

A measure of the number of cycles or wavelengths of electrical energy per second; U.S. electricity supply has a standard frequency of 60 hertz.

Bottoming-cycle

Energy; Energy efficiency

A means to increase the thermal efficiency of a steam electric generating system by converting some waste heat from the condenser into electricity. The heat engine in a bottoming cycle would be a ...

Conservation cost adjustment

Energy; Energy efficiency

A means of billing electric power consumers to pay for the costs of demand side management/energy conservation measures and programs. (See also Benefits Charge.)

Rayleigh frequency distribution

Energy; Energy efficiency

A mathematical representation of the frequency or ratio that specific wind speeds occur within a specified time interval.

Lethe

Energy; Energy efficiency

A measure of air purity that is equal to one complete air change (in an interior space).

Topping-cycle

Energy; Energy efficiency

A means to increase the thermal efficiency of a steam electric generating system by increasing temperatures and interposing a device, such as a gas turbine, between the heat source and the ...
