Market Research Report
|
Smart Energy Home published by Mind Commerce Publishing LLC in September, 2008. This report price starts from US $ 1995.
Abstract
Overview
The term “smart energy” refers to the approach of using the most
cost effective long term products to satisfy home residents' needs of energy.
Cost and resource effective usage may come from purchasing new products that
were originally manufactured to achieve energy savings, and/or employing
effective methods for using existing products that were not originally
designed to support smart energy goals. Improving energy efficiency in homes
is an important first step in the growing trend of green remodeling since the
existing energy is generally produced from non-clean and/or renewable
resources such as burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes
to smog, acid rain, and global warming.
The publication includes a study about constructing new homes from energy
prospective including preparation, construction and certification. The report
also addresses certification efforts within communities and organizations such
as the U.S Green Building Council' s LEEDs program. The report provides
examples of real world projects that met LEEDs certifications standards.
The report also provides a detailed case study about smart grids, which are
used by the utility industry today to face various challenges including
supplying resources to accommodate the projected growth in demand for energy
and minimizing and reducing the impact existing on the environment from
producing that energy. The report provides an overview of the smart grid
comparing it to the traditional electric grid. A study for smart grid
technologies is also included. As a practical study, the report includes a
study for a smart grid from the Xcel' s Energy approach including various
efforts and activities presented by the Xcel' s Energy like Smart Grid City.
