In 1999, the US Department of Energy projected that office equipment would be the fastest-growing commercial end use between 1998 and 2020. [5] The Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), a national sample survey project of the US Energy Information Administration, reported that based on 2003 data, 19% of the total energy of US office buildings is attributed to plug load energy ...
Graphs by hour of California's total electric load, the total load less solar and wind power (known as the duck curve) and solar power output. Data is for October 22, 2016, a day when the wind power output was low and steady throughout the day. In electrical engineering, a load profile is a graph of the variation in the electrical load versus ...
The Marathon Petroleum Company and IGS Energy are major oil and natural gas companies headquartered in the state, with Speedway, headquartered in Enon, serving as a gasoline distributor of Marathon. Natural gas supplier Delta Energy completed the construction of its new headquarters in Dublin in the summer of 2011. [19]
The solar power facility under construction in August 2013. The Ivanpah Solar power project was built on 6 square miles (16 km 2) of public land in the south central Mojave Desert. [63] Project construction was temporarily halted in the spring of 2011 due to the suspected impacts on desert tortoises. [64]
A National Maximum Speed Limit of 55 mph (88 km/h) was imposed in 1974 (and repealed in 1995) to help reduce energy consumption. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (aka CAFE) standards were enacted in 1975 and progressively tightened over time to compel manufacturers to improve vehicle mileage. [24]
In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 47.7% natural gas, 22.1% nuclear, 21.9% hydroelectric, 3.9% wind, 2% solar, 1.3% biomass, 0.3% petroleum, and 0.8% other. Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 3,973 GWh to New York's electricity grid in 2023.
The study compared plug load assumptions made by 92 energy modeling practitioners against ASHRAE and Title 24 requirements, and the evaluation of the plug load calculation methodology used by 660 LEED-CI [126] and 429 LEED-NC [127] certified projects. They found that energy modelers only considered the energy consumption of predictable plug ...
As a consequence, the overall load factor on UK railways is 35% or 90 people per train: [132] Conversely, airline services generally work on point-to-point networks between large population centres and are 'pre-book' in nature. Using yield management, overall load factors can be raised to around 70
