Philips Selected For 2008 Stars Of Energy Chairman's Award

Philips Electronics is proud to announce that it has been selected for the Alliance to Save Energy’s 2008 “Stars of Energy Efficiency” Chairman’s Award. Established to recognize the nation’s most proactive champions of energy-efficiency, the Alliance to Save Energy’s Chairman’s Award recognizes Philips based on its 2007 formation and leadership of the Lighting Efficiency Coalition, a collaborative effort by the lighting industry, environmental groups, and legislators to establish new energy efficiency standards for lighting and help phase out less-efficient lighting technologies in the interests of reducing the nation’s energy consumption and promoting greater sustainability. The Lighting Efficiency Coalition was formed under Philips leadership and was driven and energized by Philips’ encouragement of governments around the world to adopt

US Data Centers Wary of Sharing Energy Data With Feds

1sockchuck writes "The EPA has been seeking at least 100 data center operators willing to share data about their energy usage to help the government develop an Energy Star program for data centers. Thus far, only 54 data centers have signed up, which suggests that few data center operators are eager to tell the government exactly how much energy they are using. The EPA issued a report to Congress last year on data center power usage, and is already developing an Energy Star program to rate servers. Can a program designed to rank the energy efficiency of appliances and computer monitors be a useful tool in addressing the enormous energy consumption of data centers?"

Ballooning to make solar energy viable

With sky-rocketing energy prices and mounting fear of the climate change due to burning of fossil fuels, scientists are showing immense interest in renewable energy sources, especially the solar energy, which is zero pollution and called green energy. There is no shortage of sunny days on earth surface but the problem is of the space, which the solar panels need to harness solar energy. These panels require a huge land cover for this purpose.

Panasonic recovers energy for fresh air and cost savings

New energy recovery ventilators from Panasonic efficiently provide a constant flow of fresh air – economically cooled or heated by energy recovered from exhaust air to produce significant cost savings. Energy recovery, using an improved counter-flow heat exchanger, reduces the air conditioning load by 20% compared to regular ventilation. Typically, the energy recovery ventilators complement Panasonic air conditioners to create a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in ‘sealed’ buildings.

PS3's Consume Five Times More Energy Than A Fridge

In these times of eco-friendly policies and the need to reduce energy consumption it has been reported that the PS3 uses five times more electricity than the average fridge. The report, by Australian consumer group Choice, also claims that the Nintendo Wii was the most energy efficient of the games consoles on the market, with the Xbox not far behind. When you consider that the PS3 uses on average ten times the electricity required by the Nintendo Wii, it very much puts it all into perspective.
