Half Decade

Last year was marked by what appears to have been an unprecedented improvement in the productivity of manufacturing industries. The previous half-decade was distinguished by a productivity slowdown. This article considers recent movements in productivity at Industrial Order level, and reports the results of a survey, carried out at the end of 1981, on the factors which had been important in determining companies' productivity growth through the seventies.

The main aim of this research is to identify the scope for matured and emerging technologies to improve the quality, productivity, energy efficiency and sustainability. Industry 4.0 encourages the manufacturing industries to embrace conducive technologies. The paradigm shifts with OEMs manufacturing quality levels naturally elevate the expectations from the supplier industries. This demands more from the technology and R&D firms to deliver. Simulation technologies are becoming vital part of the industry practices. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality based simulations are being analyzed here with its utility in manufacturing industries.

Abstract The European Union’s climate and energy policy for 2030 sets ambitious targets and will challenge current energy use patterns. At the same time, policy objectives are to maintain energy affordable for business and consumers, which means that energy and climate goals should be achieved in the most cost-effective way. There is a well-known energy efficiency gap between effectively implemented energy efficiency measures and potentially economically viable ones. The authors have made a statistical analysis of the energy costs intensity of manufacturing industries in Latvia compared to other Baltic Sea countries and have consented that the three most energy consuming manufacturing industries in Latvia show a higher share of energy costs in total production costs than in their peers over a long period of time, indicating the clearly visible possibilities for energy efficiency improvements. At the same time, Latvian energy policy provides subsidies for energy-intensive manufacturing consumers by reimbursing part of their actual electricity costs. The paper analyses the amounts of reimbursements and their breakdown by manufacturing industries, identifying the most important beneficiaries of subsidies. The authors argue that beneficiaries should direct these subsidies to further energy efficiency improvements.

The Impact

Extensive public participation activities conducive to the smooth commencement of building energy efficiency, public participation and awareness building energy will determine the strength of the effect of the implementation of building energy efficiency. Therefore, this paper is based on empirical investigation of Xi'an, the use of factor analysis to explore the underlying causes of the impact of public participation in the construction of energy-saving consciousness.

Local Sustainability

Sustainable development has quickly become an important theme in local governments facing environmental challenges. Energy efficiency can be part of local efforts to sustain economic development while protecting the environment and natural resources. Based on a national database, this study examines U.S. city governments’ strategies to finance energy efficiency. The result suggests that energy efficiency financing (EEF) has become part of local sustainability strategies. In the study, we offer an explanation for energy efficiency funding that emphasizes political behaviors of institutional players in budgetary decision making. We examine factors influencing adoption and progression of EEF. The results highlight the importance of explaining results of EEF to citizens. Technical expertise from professional organizations helps start EEF programs. A Democrat-leaning consistency is important to adopt EEF, but only in cities without substantial strategies promoting EEF. Cities with revenue declines are less likely to implement EEF.
