California’s primary energy policy and planning agency
Flow of heat energy induced by a temperature difference. Heat flow through a building envelope typically flows from a heated, or hot area to a cooled, or cold area.
Industry:Energy
A ducting arrangement and automatic control system that allows a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to supply up to 100 percent outside air to satisfy cooling demands, even if additional mechanical cooling is required.
Industry:Energy
a biodegradable transportation fuel for use in diesel engines that is produced through the transesterification of organically- derived oils or fats. It may be used either as a replacement for or as a component of diesel fuel.
Industry:Energy
A unit that measure the space heating needs during a given period of time.
Industry:Energy
A system which uses either direct evaporative cooling, or a secondary evaporatively cooled water loop and cooling coil to satisfy cooling loads, even if additional mechanical cooling is required.
Industry:Energy
Energy resources derived from organic matter. These include wood, agricultural waste and other living-cell material that can be burned to produce heat energy. They also include algae, sewage and other organic substances that may be used to make energy through chemical processes.
Industry:Energy
Electricity purchased by one utility from another to take the place of electricity that would have cost more to produce on the utility's own system.
Industry:Energy
The zone at and adjacent to the earth's surface where all life exists; all living organisms of the earth.
Industry:Energy
A representation of the total heating output of a central air-conditioning heat pump in Btus during its normal usage period for heating, divided by the total electrical energy input in watt-hours during the same period, as determined using the test procedure specified in the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1603(c).
Industry:Energy
The interacting system of biological community and its nonliving environment.
