The key to achieving high energy savings (over 20% consistently) is offering a turn-key (“one-stop-shop”) approach to implementing deep retrofits. This has traditionally been the model utilized by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) on large projects in the MUSH (Municipal, University, School and Hospital) market. Emerging, small firms have enhanced the ESCOs approach and now deploy it for multifa...

The article deals with the study of photomorphogenesis different cucumber varieties under light culture conditions. Studies were carried out laboratory conditions using an experimental phytosystem ESCO based on narrow-band light-emitting diodes, which is equipped a microcontroller. microcontroller controls supplementary modes. conducted to develop recommendations for selecting and controlling s...

The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was implemented in the 281,000 ha St. Joseph River Watershed (SJRW) to investigate the influence of multiple scales on stream flow model calibration parameters (Fig.1). The relationship between model calibration parameters and associated hydrological response units (HRU) between different scales is not well understood. In this investigation, two scales were...

Product-Service Systems (PSSs) constitute a family of service-based business models designed to satisfy our societal needs in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. To date however PSS application has remained niche due to a variety of critical barriers. This paper explores how ‘demand pull’ national government policies could support PSS activity by addressing these barriers an...

This paper explores future prospects of energy service companies (ESCOs) to deliver energy efficiency and other services in the context of fundamental changes occurring in the electricity industry. We briefly review the evolution of the U.S. ESCO industry, including an assessment of current market activity and capabilities, relationship to utilities and demand-side management (DSM) programs, an...

EPC (Energy Performance Contracting), as a mechanism grounded in markets, is important for the energy saving industry. The issue of energy savings benefit allocation in Shared Savings Energy Performance Contracting Projects is one obstacle frustrating the rapid growth of the energy performance contracting mechanism. Currently, studies on this issue primarily adopt the equilibrium principle of g...

in this paper, a study and design of energy conservation actions and the obtention of energy efficiency titles, according to the italian ministerial decree 20th july 2004, applied to lighting and electrical systemsin a school district managed by perugia province (italy), is presented.specifically, the analysis regarded the replacement of neon lamps with high efficiency ones, and the power facto...

Snarr RL, Esco MR. Comparison of Electromyographic Activity When Performing an Inverted Row With and Without a Suspension Device. JEPonline 2013;16(6):51-58. This study determined the extent of electromyographic (EMG) activity of the latissimus dorsi (LD), middle trapezius (MT), posterior deltoid (PD), and biceps brachii (BB) while performing the inverted row (IR) with and without a suspension ...
