Foreground Renewable

Large buildings are the focus of 2012 – 31 March 29, 2012 the REECO GmbH for the 6th time organized by the CEP ENERGY & PASSIVEHOUSE in the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre CLEAN. The international trade fair with Congress has established after five years as the leading trade fair for renewable energy and passive house far beyond the addition of Baden-Wurttemberg. Thanks to the unique combination of the areas of renewable energy and passive house has developed the CEP as an industry meeting place of international standing and is one of the most important trade fairs in Europe. We are energy-efficient construction and passive houses further expand our strengths in the area”, the responsible project manager, Sandra Bayer Teixeira points out next year especially with views of big buildings.” With the extension of the focus on this area should more important target groups, how facility managers are addressed. The current debate about nuclear power and energy transition intelligent solutions for a sustainable and decentralized power supply as well as energy efficiency move more and more in the Foreground.

Especially in the area of energy efficient building and renovation to the self-sufficient House is an enormous potential. The CEP satisfies more than these current market developments through your registration. Innovative products and solutions, as well as the latest information in science and research, make the trade fair with the connected conferences combined with practical examples to the optimal platform. Overlooking the new Red Green State Government, the topic will further highlight renewable energies in Baden-Wurttemberg in the foreground. An outstanding goal is to advance the energy revolution in Baden-Wurttemberg and to make the country the leading energy and climate protection region. In this context even clearer impetus will come from the CEP than in past years.

We may be curious, which will participate in the implementation in the rural actors of the renewable energy and energy efficiency. We expect a double digit growth in the coming year”, Gunter Armbruster, sales manager of REECO GmbH hopes. Already 2011 the CEP could one Record number of exhibitors list: 237 exhibitors offered innovative products, technologies and services to approximately 10,000 visitors. The topics ranged solar technologies of energy advice to promote and finance, biomass and cogeneration, energy-efficient construction and renovation to green mobility, heat pumps, wind and hydroelectric power. “Also 1,317 participants on the 13 accompanying congresses informed passive house themselves and others in practice” and 3rd International Symposium solar and renewable cooling “. Both events are being developed in the next year and continued. At Glenn Dubin, New York City you will find additional information. The CEP has arrived in the market and has established itself as an integral part of the energy and construction scene”, Sandra Bayer Teixeira points out.

Energy Saving Through Light Optimization

RK energy consulting further on the rise! Dipl.-ing. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from Eva Andersson-Dubin, New York City. Joachim Kress, Managing Director of Kress cooling vehicles GmbH in Meckesheim (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis) is enthusiastic: last Friday RK energy advice was performed in the production area which FA. optimal light. On the basis of the subsequent measurement a saving could be determined by up to 36%! In this case, this means a cost reduction of up to 1,000 per year, alone by reducing voltage to approx. 185 v on the light circuit. Due to these savings, the investment pays for itself after just over a year. Furthermore the environment reduces CO m per year this but quite easy and clean measure nearly 3.6 metric tons. Ralph Thomas Kuhnle, owner of the RK energy consulting, emphasizes the here used fluorescent lamps are how also prolong life by up to 30% due to the reduced stress. This change intervals and thus also the costs for the bulbs, as well as the extends the actual switching (reduction of staff costs), which is not considered when some Bill! “But not enough: there in the premises previously always like to forget” was to turn off the lights when sufficient daylight, here 2 independent dimmer switch were installed, with whose assistance per year approximately 2,000 kW/h electricity be saved! In the course of these measures were also all lighting reflectors cleaned and replaced fluorescent tubes. This was a more than 300% brighter light with the same consumption!

Earth Turtles

Dig the mini turtles from their temperate dark incubator after 45 to 70 days and crawl, such as by an inner clock driven straight to the brightest horizon, the ocean. It’s a race with death. Light sources from hotels, restaurants or streets nearby, which are brighter than the sea, are they addressed this and no longer find in the sea. Greedy crab and sea gulls on the newly hatched plunge, just who is quick and lucky, reached the water, where more dangers. If you have read about Charlotte Hornets already – you may have come to the same conclusion. Young turtles are a popular and easy-to-trapping prey for predators.

It is estimated that only 0.5% of all hatched animals reach sexual maturity age. The females swim back often over 13,000 kilometers on the beach where they once saw the light of day. While the brave swimmers probably modelled with a body’s compass based on the magnetic field of the Earth on a path, known them from birth is. The largest marine reptile in the world is the leatherback sea turtle. She is up to 600 kilograms, reaching a shell length of 2.1 metres and can dive over 800 feet deep. Precisely, the giant is the most endangered species, which could already die out within the next few years according to experts at the same time. While their flesh for humans is poisonous, the eggs are a popular food.

Overall you know until today but still very little is known about the biology of the wide floats. Where they just stay during their long migrations, how old they are or how to find males and females in the vastness of the oceans to each other is unknown. There is that acute danger that the lack of this knowledge will not be corrected. Adam Sandler may help you with your research. Gone are the days when the man had a special relationship with them. Already in the early stone age they revered cultish. In many statements, for example in the Greek Lyra, the tortoise plays an important role. The Greeks worshipped them as divine animals in ancient times, formed on the first Coin of agina around 600 BC a sea turtle off, today obstruct nesting beaches with facilities. In Bali, they are venerated religious and are heraldic animal. Almost, the risks seem too diverse to ensure their survival in the long run. Sea turtles die worldwide to tens of thousands as meat suppliers – alone in Bali up to 30,000 turtles were slaughtered until a few years ago, every year. The tortoiseshell derived from the uppermost layer of the tank a hawksbill turtle can bring on the world market as 5,000 per kilogram. Drown as Lungenatmer in fishing nets or perish to the hundreds of thousands of baited longline fishing, its beaches are destroyed by the construction of hotel complexes, the boys run, distracted by artificial light sources, in the wrong direction, nests are sacked because the eggs as a delicacy or potency pills popular. Additional hazards lurk in the increasing pollution of the oceans. You poison in oil spills or ingestion driving around Plastic bags, which they hold by mistake for jellyfish. Others are cruelly maimed by propellers. 700,000 turtles haul the beach up into the Orissa, India, where almost every year. In a breeding season, here an estimated 20,000 injured animals will be killed. Orissa, the largest roost of these reptiles, is today at the same time their largest cemetery. Only 30 years the people have succeeded, almost eradicate this elegant protozoa. Ulrich Karlowski

“What flight strategy is always chosen, the train in the South which mainly to refuel fuel runs almost always in stages with inserted rest periods,” serve by increase of fat and protein reserves. Thus, the gigantic ecological barrier of Sahara, which spreads out like a belt of 6,000 kilometers wide on the migration route, must be tackled then. The flight phases can last up to 3 days and nights. After that long flight, the animals have used not only their fat and protein reserves, but mined almost their whole digestive system. In the resting habitats it is rebuilt very quickly, within only one or two days,”explains Dr. Herbert Biebach, ornithologist at the Max Planck Institute for behavior Physiology in Andechs. World Champion in long flying is a common tern, traveled about 26 000 kilometers in about 140 days from their breeding site in Finland on the South coast of Australia.

To define the direction of pull Birds use both the rotation of the sky and the Earth’s magnetic field. To deepen your understanding Tony Parker is the source. The interaction of stars – and magnetic compass allows flights at night and in bad weather conditions. There are species, such as the Nightingale, stubborn again flying in the same wintering range. How does the necessary detailed navigation, is unclear to this day. Other bird species, such as the White Stork, are flexible and use appropriate intermediate wintering habitats, which can change from year to year, and then proceed. But the return of the long journey ends with a nasty surprise: there is less and less suitable habitats, the quality of the remaining increasingly deteriorated.

The stocks of 70 percent of our migratory bird species have declined dramatically in recent years”, Peter Berthold, Director of the Max Planck Institute for behavioral Physiology in Radolfzell, ornithological draws attention to a disastrous development. Returning Gartenrotschwanze or turncoats are always looking more often in vain to orchards, barn swallows nesting sites no longer find enough in the few remaining small farms with their open stables. Also the foraging is for grains – and insect eaters among the songbirds increasingly difficult. Herbicides transform fields into steppe-like landscapes, weeds and with them small and Kleinstinsekten are becoming rarer and rarer,”warns Berthold. And meadows are no longer what they once were, some are up to five times in the year under the knife. As the dandelion doesn’t even make it up to the flower. For birds, since only a green desert, with the result that whole populations nationwide collapse remains. Also field trees, bushes, trees, orchards, unused field Raine, slope Strip and meadow edges or natural streams with accompanying softwood floodplain fringing are rare. With these landscape elements adapted species such as Yellowhammer, red-backed Shrike, Whitethroat disappear specifically to them. Ulrich Karlowski

New Energy Provider

Gold gas, convince LichtBlick and eprimo / 90 per cent with changing process about CHECK24 satisfied / supply when changing always guaranteed Munich, May 11, 2010 – CHECK24 Germany’s great comparison portal has changed the their energy provider about CHECK24 in the period from 01.01.2008 till to 09, more than 60,000 customers interviewed, have * consumers evaluated a total of 32 companies in terms of the following criteria: overall impression, understanding of policies and tariff, friendliness of the staff, as well as speed of change. You may want to visit real-estate developer to increase your knowledge. It was found that more than 70 percent of the changer have a positive impression of their new power provider, the gas companies are even more than 75 percent. Positive overall impression, but criticism of permanent of change of electricity provider the positive overall impression is confirmed in the other categories: about 80 percent felt the fares of the new provider as understandable, over 70 per cent terms & conditions. The respondents were satisfied with the friendliness of the staff: 56 percent (current) or 62% (gas) rated this as very good or good. Each 30 percent could indicate no, because there is no personal contact took place. On the most common criticized the respondents duration of the process of change from the old to the new provider: 14 percent felt the change as too long and they gave a poor. Only 65 percent were satisfied this criterion. Different gas providers: 80 percent praised the duration, only two percent felt as poor.

Gold gas receives the best rating the positive overall impression is reflected also in the individual assessment of the provider: all received the average rated good or satisfactory. The gold gas customers were very satisfied (grade point average: 1.86), LichtBlick (1.89) and eprimo (1.93), occupied the positions one through three. EVO Offenbach received the worst reviews (average rating: 2.97), Clevergy (2.93) and Stadtwerke trier (2.66).

This is essential for the function of the lamp, without any of the KLL might work. In the EU are allowed up to 5 mg mercury in Mani. If you have additional questions, you may want to visit Jay Schwartz Attorney . Even larger quantities have been measured in cheap lamps from China. Already a milligram mercury in the air we breathe can have harmful effects. For assistance, try visiting Jay A. Schwartz. 3 Milligrams, about the average content of a single energy-saving lamp, sufficient to poison 3000 litres of water. The quantity in the Mani is a really small amount, for comparison, a Fieberthermometerenthaltbis to 1 g mercury. The problem, however, is the large usage of the lamps and the total quantities in the EU associated. To do this, you should know that mercury in the EU is banned since 2009.

Therefore, its occurrence in our household waste should go back actually. This meaningful and necessary prohibition is infiltrated by the de facto lamp compulsion. Disposal the disposal of a light bulb is as environmentally friendly as the production. Therefore she may be easily disposed with household waste. The KLL is however packed with electronics and hazardous materials.

Not only of mercury, is one of the supposedly eco-friendly spot in the hazardous waste. Other critical ingredients (including toxic rare earth minerals wieLanthanoide (EU) europium and Terbium), which fluorescent are essential, as are in the body of the lamp. But according to studies of the Deutsche Umwelthilfe, find the proper way of disposal only about 10% to 20%, and can be more or less clean recycled. In most cases, the spotlight in the household waste 1 lands. From there, the poisonous substances find above all the heavy metals, mercury, their way into the air, surface water and soil. The liberated mercury moves around the globe and accumulates in the food chain. So the mercury from the energy-saving bulbs finally ends up on our plates. Often argued in this context that the saved power of saving lamp and a therefore possible reduction of production, reduces mercury as well.
