Energy efficiency

Beam radiation

Energy; Energy efficiency

Solar radiation that is not scattered by dust or water droplets.

Solar Two is a retrofit of the Solar One project (see above). It is demonstrating the technical feasibility and power potential of a solar power tower using advanced molten-salt technology to store ...

Pellets

Energy; Energy efficiency

Solid fuels made from primarily wood sawdust that is compacted under high pressure to form small (about the size of rabbit feed) pellets for use in a pellet stove.

Natural cooling

Energy; Energy efficiency

Space cooling achieved by shading, natural (unassisted, as opposed to forced) ventilation, conduction control, radiation, and evaporation; also called passive cooling.

Standard industrial classification (SIC) code

Energy; Energy efficiency

Standardised codes used to classify businesses by type of activity they engage in.

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES)

Energy; Energy efficiency

SMES technology uses the superconducting characteristics of low-temperature materials to produce intense magnetic fields to store energy. SMES has been proposed as a storage option to support ...

Performance ratings

Energy; Energy efficiency

Solar collector thermal performance ratings based on collector efficiencies, usually expressed in Btu per hour for solar collectors under standard test or operating conditions for solar radiation ...
