“…This result indicates that the lighting heat reused in the indoor space can enhance the indoor heat gain from lighting, although a little heat loss occurs to the outdoors. In summer, the entire lighting heat is transferred as conductive heat through the ceiling board when LED lighting is typically installed on the ceiling because of the high outdoor temperature, as evident from Equation (2). Thus, when the LED lighting heat is removed, the indoor heat gain can be expressed as:…”

“…The recent increasing trend in global energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions has led to increased interest in energy-related technologies in various fields [1][2][3]. Because the total energy consumption in buildings accounts for nearly 40% of the primary energy use in many countries, a number of studies on energy-saving technologies for buildings have been conducted with a focus on the thermal performance of envelopes, efficiency enhancement of lighting and air-conditioning facilities, and renewable energy applications [4][5][6][7].…”

Synergetic Effect between Lighting Efficiency Enhancement and Building Energy Reduction Using Alternative Thermal Operating System of Indoor LED Lighting

et al. 2015

Abstract:We investigated the synergetic effect between light-emitting diode (LED) lighting efficiency and building energy savings in heating and cooling using an alternative thermal operating system (ATOS) of indoor LED lighting integrated with the ventilation system of a building as an active cooling device. The heat generated from LED lighting and the indoor lighting illuminance were experimentally determined. The indoor heat gains in cooling and heating periods were determined using measurement data; the annual energy savings of an office building in heating and cooling were calculated through simulation. The LED lighting illuminance increased by approximately 40% and the lighting contribution for indoor heat gain was 7.8% in summer, while 69.8% in winter with the ATOS. Consequently, the annual total energy use of the office building could be reduced by 5.9%; the energy use in cooling and heating was reduced by 18.4% and 3.3%, respectively.

“…Emerging economies are still heavily dependent on fossil fuels, and coal in particular [35,36] and a significant proportion of the capital stock is inefficient and outdated [4]. On the other hand, newly built equipment in these countries is often state-of-the-art [4] and energy efficiency is increasing more quickly than in developed countries [3]. It is therefore worthwhile to see how the availability of low carbon technologies has different economic consequences across these three major economic areas and how international trade contributes to the macroeconomic effects for these regions.…”

The Deployment of Low Carbon Technologies in Energy Intensive Industries: A Macroeconomic Analysis for Europe, China and India

et al. 2017

Industrial processes currently contribute 40% to global CO 2 emissions and therefore substantial increases in industrial energy efficiency are required for reaching the 2 • C target. We assess the macroeconomic effects of deploying low carbon technologies in six energy intensive industrial sectors (Petroleum, Iron and Steel, Non-metallic Minerals, Paper and Pulp, Chemicals, and Electricity) in Europe, China and India in 2030. By combining the GAINS technology model with a macroeconomic computable general equilibrium model, we find that output in energy intensive industries declines in Europe by 6% in total, while output increases in China by 11% and in India by 13%. The opposite output effects emerge because low carbon technologies lead to cost savings in China and India but not in Europe. Consequently, the competitiveness of energy intensive industries is improved in China and India relative to Europe, leading to higher exports to Europe. In all regions, the decarbonization of electricity plays the dominant role for mitigation. We find a rebound effect in China and India, in the size of 42% and 34% CO 2 reduction, respectively, but not in Europe. Our results indicate that the range of considered low-carbon technology options is not competitive in the European industrial sectors. To foster breakthrough low carbon technologies and maintain industrial competitiveness, targeted technology policy is therefore needed to supplement carbon pricing.

“…Backlund and Thollander [35] studied the impact of the Swedish energy audit program and its cost-efficiency. Napp et al [36] conducted a review of more energy efficient technologies for climate change mitigating in the industrial sector, and made some concluding remarks on suitable policies for various cost-effective energy efficient technologies.…”

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

The threat of increased global warming resulting from the use of fossil fuels stresses decisionmakers to formulate and adopt policies towards different sectors of the economy. In light of the great earthquake in Japan 2011, energy efficiency also plays an important role in meeting the challenge of power supply shortage. Energy policies towards industry are of particular importance as a major part of the energy in the Economy is used in industrial production. The number of papers investigating and presenting experience from energy end-use policies are scarce. Furthermore, for those present, they often only include a very brief analysis.From a public point of view, evaluations of energy programs are of major importance to measure the performance of the programs. From an energy policy designer point of view, it is of major importance to not only see the cost-effectiveness of the policy but also to understand the fundamental mechanisms for the success or failure of an industrial energy program, in order to learn how to improve future programs.The aim of this paper is to present a review of energy end-use policy instrument in Japan and Sweden towards the industrial sector from 1990-2014, with special emphasize on industrial SMEs.From the results presented some general conclusions can be made, (1) results show that the costeffectiveness differs substantially between the evaluated programs, and (2) that from a governmental point of view, subsidies towards energy audit programs seems like the most cost-effective policy. In addition to this (3) the results from the review also stresses the importance of a clear strategy for every energy program on how the program is going to be evaluated, ex-ante or ex-post, and how the performance of the program is to be measured. This structure should be included from the start of the program.
