This gas meter features a dielectric union to electrically isolate the gas line from the meter body. Dielectric unions help prevent corrosion by ensuring there is no direct electrical connection between the piping and meter. The union uses non-conductive material to separate the line and meter electrically while still allowing gas to flow through.

This study analyzed the relationship between weather conditions and residential energy usage in San Marcos, California. Results showed that temperature strongly correlates with electricity consumption, especially in the summer. San Marcos households used an average of 7,753 kWh and emitted 5,350 kg of CO2 annually, less than the U.S. averages of 12,069 kWh and 7,270 kg, respectively. A regression model found that both heating and cooling degree days significantly contribute to energy use, with cooling degree days having a greater effect. This model explained 84% of the variance in energy usage.
2009 ABC Green Building Class Presentation
James Petersen from Petersen Engineering presented on energy efficiency measures implemented at an ABC Green Building. Figures from 2006-2007 showed significant savings in natural gas and electricity consumption from initial efficiency measures. While savings were realized between 2005-2007, natural gas usage and costs increased in the 2007-2008 heating season, reversing the trend of declining usage since 2005. There remains potential for further reducing summer natural gas usage and fully understanding drivers of the increased 2007-2008 heating season costs.

Two electricity monitors were used to measure the energy consumption of an old circulating pump and boiler system over 3 weeks. The same monitors then measured the new D'MAND circulator pump over another 3 weeks after it was installed. A 12% reduction in electricity use by the boiler was found, which was assumed to equate to a 12% reduction in gas usage. The estimated annual gas savings were calculated to be $1,100 based on previous gas bills. The methodology will be tested on another building owned by the company.

Jeremy Moore developed models to predict rural mountain energy consumption using data from five substations, weather, geography, and tourism. The models identified temperature, previous temperatures, and seasonal variables as key drivers of consumption. The models achieved R2 values over 0.80 for most substations. The work aims to isolate peak consumption periods and lower costs by informing residents to reduce usage during high-cost times. Future work will refine the models with additional variables like tourism events.
Lakeshore Center Heat Pump Study
This document summarizes a study of the heat pump system at Michigan Tech's Lakeshore Center. The goals of the study were to compare the actual, expected, and ideal coefficients of performance (COP) of the heat pumps and identify reasons for differences. The heat pumps use geothermal energy from the ground to heat individual rooms. Data on heat output and compressor work from five days was analyzed to calculate the actual and ideal COP values. The actual COP was lower than both the ideal and nominal values due to heat loss in pipes and less efficient compressors. Improving insulation and upgrading compressors could increase the COP.
Understanding Load Factor
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.

S isystem
The document discusses the SI system of measurement. It defines a measurement as having two parts - a number and a unit. The SI system establishes standard units for seven base quantities: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity). SI prefixes are used to denote multiples and submultiples of units, such as kilo, centi, and milli. Conversions within the metric system involve moving the decimal place in the number to change the unit, as shown through examples converting between liters and milliliters, grams and milligrams, and kilograms and milligrams.
IRJET- Electricity Load Analytics for Light Energyconsumption in a House usin...
This document analyzes light energy consumption in a house located in Belgium over a 4.5 month period. It finds that light energy usage varies based on seasonal weather patterns, with higher consumption in winter and lower consumption in spring. In winter, when temperatures are lower and humidity is higher, light usage averaged 17.48 watts per month. In spring, when temperatures rise and humidity falls, average monthly light usage decreased to 8.79 watts. The analysis uses data on indoor light consumption, outdoor temperature and humidity to understand how weather impacts domestic lighting needs over different seasons.

The document provides guidance on external corrosion control for buried or submerged pipelines, specifically regarding electrical isolation. It states that pipelines must be electrically isolated from other underground structures unless they are interconnected and cathodically protected as a single unit. Insulating devices can be installed where needed to facilitate corrosion control. Pipelines must also be isolated from metallic casings, with some exceptions. Inspection and testing is needed to ensure adequate isolation. Precautions must be taken if insulating devices are installed in areas with combustible atmospheres. Pipelines near electrical transmission towers also require protection from fault currents or lightning.
Code Question
The document is an answer to a previous code question regarding bonding of gas piping systems. It summarizes that underground gas piping systems cannot be used as grounding electrodes according to NEC code. Gas utilities typically isolate underground gas piping from above-ground portions using dielectric fittings to prevent using the piping as a neutral conductor. While bonding of above-ground metal gas piping is required, informational note 1 regarding bonding all piping providing additional safety is not a mandatory code requirement.
Gas Pipe Becomes Grounding Electrode
A gas pipe was found to be acting as both a grounding electrode and carrying parallel current intended for the neutral conductor in a home's electrical system. The pipe had become electrically charged due to a defective connection to the neutral conductor in the main electrical panel. This created a safety hazard, as anyone touching both the pipe and an ungrounded appliance could potentially receive an electric shock. The solution was to disconnect the gas pipe from the electrical system and ensure proper grounding and bonding of system components.
Bonded Vs. Grounding
Bonded vs. Grounding discusses definitions changes in the 2008 code relating to bonding and grounding. Specifically, it examines changes to Article 100 which defines grounding as connecting to the earth or another conducting body that serves in place of the earth.
Bonding Wire Connection
Bonding is the practice of electrically connecting all exposed metal parts of electrical equipment together to reduce voltage differences that can cause shock or fire hazards. It involves connecting equipment enclosures, frames of devices like outlets and switches, metal piping, and other metal objects to the electrical grounding system. Proper bonding helps ensure that faults in wiring or equipment will cause circuit protection to quickly operate by providing a low-resistance path for fault currents.
Placing The Bonding Clamp
The clamp is placed around the meter's base just above the meter. It should fit snugly and not be loose. Make sure the clamp's locking mechanism is fully engaged to properly secure the meter.

The document discusses an IRC commentary bonding diagram. It appears to relate to construction codes and regulations regarding bonding of electrical systems. The diagram likely shows the required bonding connections between various metal components in a building according to IRC commentary guidelines.
Gas Pipe Becomes An Equipment Ground
A gas pipe was mistakenly used as an equipment ground at a commercial building. The National Electrical Code requires that gas piping not be used for grounding electrical equipment. Using a gas pipe for grounding can corrode the pipe and potentially lead to a gas leak or explosion. Proper grounding helps ensure safety and prevents hazardous electrical shocks.
