The document provides 7 ways to ensure the accuracy of energy use data when analyzing building performance: 1) Standardize energy units to compare totals accurately, 2) Double check conversion factors between units, 3) Check for missing fuel accounts as buildings typically use electricity and gas or oil, 4) Verify accounts are not duplicated across buildings, 5) Compare energy intensity to EPA benchmarks to identify errors, 6) Confirm data timeframes are complete, and 7) Use utility bills to validate all other numbers.
Tax credit energy efficient appliances21 Handshake
As of the 2018 tax year, many of the federal tax credits for upgrading to new, energy-efficient appliances have expired. In the past, you were able to collect federal tax credits for energy-efficient water heaters, air conditioners, boilers, furnaces and other in-home appliances. Now, the IRS provides these types of tax credits only for residential renewable energy products. According to Energy Star, these tax credits should remain available through December 31, 2021.
Dan Jape Reliable Heating & Air Electricity costs only seem to go up in Marietta, but the combined forces of government agencies, power companies, and environmental groups have been trying to show homeowners ways of reducing the cost of their monthly bills.
Many thanks to ESC for the invitation to speak at TMAF last week. I am happy to share the presentation Enviro Power we provided at this great event.
The Enviro Power SmartWatt Boiler is the only mCHP system
in the market that is a competitively priced, fully functional heating system, which also generates electricity and provides backup power. In other words, for $8,000 our 175,000 BTU/hour boiler will generate 6 kW of electricity and provide backup power. As the system is fully dispatchable, our SmartWatt Boiler operates as part of a virtual power plant (VPP), providing ancillary services that enable the integration of more wind and solar into the US Grid. All for the price of your next boiler.

Understanding Load Factor
by Austin Energy
Load factor is an expression of how much energy was used in a time period, versus how much energy would
have been used, if the power had been left on during a period of peak demand. It is a useful indicator for
describing the consumption characteristics of electricity over a period of time.
AESS role is to conduct energy audit to the homes to assess the efficiency of these appliances and educate the home owners on how to use them efficiently and cut the energy wastage. http://bit.ly/2vleFPC
Manufacturers are coming to our aid by developing more efficient units that help keep the cost at a reasonable level. These devices utilize the Energy Factor rating to determine their efficiency. Now commercial water heaters are rated on how well they conserve energy, the amount expended to maintain levels of hot water and the transference of energy to warming the water.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack declared a goal in 2011 of bringing one new manure-based anaerobic digestion (AD) system on-line per week; however, there are some real challenges that need to be overcome to make this goal a reality. To help achieve this goal, the economics of farm-based AD systems need to be improved. Making better use of AD surplus heat (mostly released to the ambient atmosphere), improving generator efficiency, and electricity use are real opportunity that needs to be flushed out. Greenhouses in the Northeast and similar climates are energy-intensive and therefore an excellent candidate to partner with AD systems to utilize their engine waste heat and electrical energy.

Getting value from your energy metering data, with samples for three types of real-world situations.
Presented at 2016 EnergyExchange conference, Providence, RI.
What's the right method to find how much energy smart meters save? Leonardo ENERGY
Smart meters are a critical part of the energy transition, but how much energy does their installation save? Measuring savings from smart meters is not easy. How do we model smart metered households’ counterfactual consumption? How much energy would these households have consumed had their supplier not installed a smart meter?
Andrew Schein from the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) and Kevin Gornall from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) will explain how the impact of smart meters on household energy consumption can be accurately analysed, drawing on the recently published guidance BIT developed for BEIS and energy suppliers.
In this presentation, Steve Heinz presents 20 key tests for auditing utility bills.

A Guide to BEMS: Building Energy Management SystemsBOSS Controls
Over the last decade, we’ve become more aware of how much we actually affect the environment. The biggest offenders are residential and commercial buildings. They consume a ridiculous amount of energy – something that shouldn’t be too surprising considering the fact that we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
