American Economy

Industry, regardless of its role in the American economy is suffering from the dramatic leap in energy costs. Unfortunately many of us do not realize how much of our profits are being devoured by these ever increasing costs. The misguided philosophy is that energy costs are absorbed in the maintenance budget. The maintenance budget generally is not broken down therefore the true operating costs of the energy used can not be determined. Some companies are still operating on the concept of cheap energy. If energy costs were broken down into a separate budget it will soon become apparent that the energy costs are becoming more and more a factor in evaluating the true cost of producing a product. The companies that have recognized this condition are finding it extremely difficult to absorb these costs and are adjusting their product pricing accordingly. Energy costs are spiraling upward and companies must analyze the equipment consuming this precious commodity. The boiler room is the greatest consumer of energy. If a company is going to pursue the path of energy conservation, the boiler room will be the focal point because “Energy Conservation Begins In The Boiler Room”. Paper published with permission.

Production And Distribution

The article identifies and postulates the importance of energy efficiency issues providing certain principles for the sustainable development of society, the national and world economy. The study analyzed the most energy-intensive types of economic activity - industrial production, which has a significant potential for energy conservation and energy efficiency from all energy consumers. The main indicator in the analysis of energy costs in industry is the structure of the costs of production and the energy balance for the respective types of production. The revealed regularities testify the availability of significant reserves of energy conservation and energy efficiency, which is available in certain types of industrial production: the manufacturing industry, the extraction of useful minerals, and the production and distribution of electricity, gas and water. The reduction in energy costs should concern not only technical, but also organizational changes. These recommendations are aimed at increasing the competitiveness of Russian products by reducing the material costs of energy. The most successful way to cope with the task of energy saving and increasing the energy efficiency of an industrial enterprise is the use of modern management mechanisms, including the international energy management standard ISO-50001.

In the RPJMN 2015-2019 the government sets a target of 20 million foreign tourists by 2019. The hotel sector contributes to national energy use of 3%. The hospitality sector is growing at a 12.5% growth rate from 2007 to 2011, in response to an increase in the number of tourists between 9-13% including in Jambi at that time. To evaluate the use of electric energy at the hotel it is necessary to conduct an analysis of energy costs per hotel room sold to give an average picture of energy costs. From the calculation, it is found that the intensity of energy consumption in one of the hotel rooms in jambi city is 5.93 kWh / m2.Key words: Energy, energy conservation, hotel

Fossil Fuel Energy

This paper examines the potential that exists for energy conservation in feeding livestock and poultry in the Northeast by analyzing the “What if” question: “What if national policy dictates using imputed energy “costs” to minimize energy use in feed rations?” Current feed rations contain large amounts of embodied energy reflecting the quantity of fossil fuel energy required to produce, process and transport the various ingredients included in the feed rations. By changing the mix of ingredients in feed rations, perhaps considerable energy could be saved in the Northeast.

Electrical Energy Production

This paper describes the importance of accurate calculation of thermal and electrical energy production by cogeneration plants on the overall validity of cogeneration projects. A new simple graphical method which improves the accuracy of calculation of annual thermal and electrical energy consumption and production by various energy sources is proposed. A practical example of developing annual load duration characteristic using the proposed method is provided. Several illustrative graphs are included. Evaluating the feasibility of an energy conservation project normally involves comparing of the saved operating cost with the additional capital costs required to implement the project. Operating costs, which can also be called running costs, include energy costs and equipment operating and maintenance costs. Normally, energy costs represent a major part of the running costs and, therefore, are the major factors affecting the overall profitability of the project. It almost goes without saying that an economic analysis of an energy conservation project is much more sensitive to the variations in the cost of energy than to changes in the capital costs. It is quite common that a 10 percent change in the energy cost can produce dramatic economic changes, while the same or a much larger change in the capital cost often has only a marginal effect on the economics.

In order to understand the energy implications of primate limb conformation, the biomechanics of swing phase and the vertical movements of limb center of gravity were examined in the arboreal rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and the semi-terrestrial long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis). The objective was to better understand the potential variation in locomotor adaptations in these two macaque species within different ecological environments. In particular, the objective of this study was to identify the implications that these movements have on the internal energy costs of locomotion. I show that the biomechanics of swing phase for these two species have important effects on their limb center of gravity, although they may have similar limb segment mass distributions. This study suggests that mechanical energy conservation during swing phase is important in mammalian locomotion.
