Industry:Energy
A DSM (demand-side management)program designed to promote the efficiency of the heating or coolingdelivery system, including replacement. Includes ventilation(economizers; heat recovery from exhaust air), cooling (evaporativecooling, cool storage; heat recovery from chillers; high-efficiency airconditioning), heating, and automatic energy management systems.
Industry:Energy
The middle rate of flow of water past a given point for which there have been several greater and lesser rates of flow occurring during a specified period.
Industry:Energy
The result of negotiations at the third Conference of the Parties (COP-3) in Kyoto, Japan, in December of1997. The Kyoto Protocol sets binding greenhouse gas emissions targets for countries that sign and ratify the agreement. The gases covered under the Protocol include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), per fluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride.
Industry:Energy
A double-circuitline that has one alternating current and one direct circuit. The ACcircuit usually serves local loads along the line.
Industry:Energy
The middle precipitation and run-off condition for a distribution of water conditions that have happened over a long period of time. Usually determined by examining the water supply record of the period in question.
Industry:Energy
A term generally used to describe artificial light. The term is often used when referring to a "bulb" or "tube."
Industry:Energy
Fracturing of rock at depth with fluid pressure. Hydraulic fracturing at depth may be accomplished by pumping water into a well at very high pressures. Under natural conditions, vapor pressure may rise high enough to cause fracturing in a process known as hydrothermal brecciation.
Industry:Energy
For valves and fittings, implies that they are suitable for working pressures between 125 to 175 pounds per square inch.
Industry:Energy
The ultimate uses to be permitted for currently contaminated lands, waters, and structures at each Department of Energy installation. Land-use decisions will strongly influence the cost of environmental management.
