Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program was a source of controversy

Careful molding practices kept costs down and let solar cells power a trash compactor designed for city streets.

Boiler rooms are hot places, with air near the ceiling at about 120°F in the summer and 90°F in the winter. To use that otherwise wasted heat, inventor Bob Biancardi developed what he calls the Geo-Wasted Thermal Energy Recovery System (Geo- WTERS)

Technicians at the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that icemakers consume 12 to 20% of the electricity used to run new refrigerators

Nuclear-Reactor Renaissance

Nuclear power is back in vogue as a source of energy thanks to revived interest in safe and less expensive reactor technologies.

This year’s Hannover Fair, the world’s largest industrial trade fair, features 13 different show, all with a focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainability.

E26-based, ULapproved family of LED bulbs currently comes in three white color temperatures: 2,800-k warm white, 5,200-k full spectrum white

Saving energy beyond motor efficiency

Richard Mintz from SEW Eurodrive Inc. provides details of a report that says energy efficient motors may use more energy than standard motors in certain applications and that one must look beyond the motor for the best energy savings.  6:24

Several devices are already in place to generate power from ocean waves. A patent-pending design should prove more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Here is a liberating revelation: When you assume some responsibility for every unpleasant situation that arises in your life, you can then do something about it.

elevators  will use 30% less energy

Basics of FHP motor energy efficiency

Greener anodizing processes, energy efficiency could shrink U.S. consumption, incandescent-sized CFLs.

Most engineers know that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems suck down an appreciable amount of electrical power

The design is based on a spherical motor, a concept invented by Laing and it consists of a hemispheric rotor and impeller that sits on a hard, wear-resistant ceramic ball.

Gearboxes lubricated can slash energy use, maintenance, and repairs with low-friction synthetic oils .
