Crescent Electric Supply taps a broad range of LED solutions to overhaul the ...crescentelectric
Dole Food recently undertook a lighting upgrade at its 180,000 square foot facility in Marina, California to improve lighting quality, reduce energy consumption and costs, and enhance safety. The facility's outdated lighting systems were using over 13 million kWh annually costing over $1.8 million. Working with Crescent Electric Supply, Dole replaced these systems with a variety of energy efficient LED, induction, and fluorescent lamps and fixtures. This resulted in energy savings of up to 95% in some areas, annual savings of over $170,000, and a payback period of less than 18 months. Employees also benefit from higher quality and easier to maintain lighting.

Sustainable refurbishment at scale - By Stephen Passmore, Energy Saving TrustsustainableCoRE
This document discusses strategies for achieving wide-scale sustainable refurbishment of homes in the UK. It notes that home energy use accounts for over a quarter of UK carbon emissions and targets have been set to cut carbon emissions from homes by 29% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. To achieve these targets, all homes will need to reach a high energy performance rating. The document then outlines approaches to housing retrofit including whole-house projects and area-based approaches. It also describes the mission and aims of the National Refurbishment Centre partnership to support green refurbishment through demonstration projects.

1. Bayesian methods can be used to approximate the probability of B given A (P(B|A)) by treating it as a function (f(A;w)) of the exemplars A and weights w, where the weights are unknown.
2. A Bayesian model is set up where the model/basis shapes are normally distributed, the confidence weights are independent, and there are precision tuners on the basis and weights.
3. Complexity control through regularization adds a penalty term (E_w) to the standard regression error term (E_d) controlled by a hyperparameter (lambda) to solve overfitting.
This document discusses generating actionable consumer insights from analytics. It covers trends in information sources, challenges in implementing big data and analytics, and opportunities.

Challenges include different data owners, interfacing with unstructured sources, and security issues like access control and data provenance. Opportunities include more organic measures and higher velocity outputs. Use cases discussed are customer care, genomic analysis, and high performance security analytics.
1. Bayesian methods can be used to approximate the probability of B given A (P(B|A)) by treating it as a function (f(A;w)) of the exemplars A and weights w, based on training data of examples of A and B.
2. A Bayesian approach involves placing prior probabilities on the model parameters (weights) to avoid overfitting, and computing the posterior distribution over the weights given the data.
3. Key aspects of Bayesian methods include choosing a model shape (e.g. linear or sigmoid function), placing independent precision tuners on the weights and basis functions to control complexity, and interpreting the confidence levels of the unknown weights.
The document discusses the importance of water and the global water crisis. It notes that while water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, only 1% is drinkable and many people lack access to clean water. Over 800 million people lack access to safe water and over 50% of people worldwide lack adequate sanitation. As water scarcity increases, it threatens food production, energy supplies, health, and development. The document calls for solutions like education, conservation efforts, and supporting organizations working to improve access to clean water worldwide.
This document discusses the definition and elements of possession from various legal perspectives. It defines possession as having control or the ability to exclude others from an object. Possession has two elements - corpus possession, the physical control, and animus domini, the intent to own. Several jurists like Holmes, Bentham, and Salmond provide different views on defining possession. The document also examines the types of possession like corporeal vs. incorporeal and mediate vs. immediate. It concludes with discussing the modes of acquiring possession such as taking, delivery, and constructive delivery.
The document discusses how organizational size impacts structure. It notes that as size increases, structural differentiation increases but at a decreasing rate. While size is related to complexity, the relationship is complex and not definitive. Later sections discuss debates around the relationships between size and factors like formalization, centralization, and administrative components. The document also notes how organizational theory concepts apply differently for small businesses due to their more limited range of structural variation.
The document discusses the different types of writs under the Indian Constitution. It defines a writ as a formal order issued by a sovereign authority commanding an act. The Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to issue writs for enforcing fundamental rights. The main writs discussed are habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo-warranto. Habeas corpus orders the production of a detained person. Mandamus commands a public duty to be performed. Prohibition stops lower courts exceeding their jurisdiction. Certiorari transfers a case to a higher court. Quo-warranto restrains unlawful holding of public office. Case studies are provided to illustrate applications of each writ.

Precincts to Support the Delivery of Zero Energy
This report frames the physical and organisational context for precinct action and identifies potential programs and government solutions that may be applied to better streamline the realisation of precinct-scale action to progress towards zero energy (and carbon) ready residential buildings within both new and existing precincts.
The report was developed based on a literature review and engagement with more than 80 stakeholders from industry, academia and government with the aim of identifying appropriate government action in the form of proposed solutions that may be applicable across Commonwealth, state and territory and/ or local governments.
The report has given focus to opportunities for precincts that are not already considered in the Trajectory to ensure that a wider system response is taken to considering the zero energy (and carbon) ready outcomes being sought.

The East of England is a major hub for the UK's cleantech sector, with over 5,000 cleantech companies employing 82,000 people. It contributes 25% of the UK's total research and development spending, more than three times the national average. The region is home to many innovative cleantech companies working in areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency, recycling, and green buildings. It also has several leading universities conducting cleantech research and collaborating with private companies.
The ANU Energy Change Institute brings together over 200 researchers across various energy-related fields such as solar energy, nuclear science, and economics. It aims to facilitate research and teaching on transitioning to renewable energy through technological innovations, policy design, and engaging stakeholders. Key programs include master's degrees, collaborating on major funding bids, and advising the government through the Institute for Public Policy.
1) Hybrid power systems that combine renewable energy sources like solar and wind with battery storage and backup thermal generation can provide reliable, resilient, and cost-effective power. They are seen as the future for distributed energy systems.
2) Mott MacDonald has over 30 years of experience in designing, implementing, and managing hybrid power projects around the world. They provide expertise in optimizing hybrid systems, integrating different technologies, and improving grid stability.
3) Examples include a pilot wind-diesel hybrid project in Bonaire that supplies 40% of the island's power needs and a solar PV project in Japan with battery storage to improve grid stability. Mott MacDonald performs technical advisory services and due diligence
