The effort will help train apprentice, pre-apprentice and journey worker glaziers in energy-efficient building envelope technologies, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority said.

A significant ceremony at the Jordan Chamber of Industry marked a major step forward in Jordan’s industrial energy efficiency efforts. Hosted by Dr. Saleh Al-Kharabsheh, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources and Chairman of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF), the event saw the signing of 66 agreements with industrial establishments benefitting from the Energy Efficiency Technologies Implementation Program.

Schneider Electric unveiled a series of updates targeting digital infrastructure energy efficiency, including partnering with Nvidia on liquid-cooled data centre designs.

A majority of energy businesses consider energy efficiency as a critical influence on their choice of electric motors and are either currently investing or planning to invest in sustainability initiatives, according to new research by ABB.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued a decision approving the Implementation plan of the Political Declaration on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP Declaration) for the period up to 2050 in the city.

A renewed research collaboration between FortisBC and UBC Okanagan seeks to do this and more as a grown-in-the-Okanagan smart-energy success story begins a new chapter.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has underscored the EU’s vulnerability to external energy supplies. Europe’s reliance on imported fossil fuels is a liability, not only environmentally but also geopolitically. Prioritising energy efficiency alongside renewable energy and electrification is essential to reducing this dependence. The Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle holds the potential to strengthen security and resilience aiming at prioritising energy efficiency wherever it is the most cost-effective solution, ensuring that energy needs are met sustainably and economically.

New research from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) finds that Texas households that swap out inefficient electric resistance heaters for heat pumps would save an average of more than $300 in utility bills annually. Switching the quarter of Texas houses and apartments that rely on electric resistance heating to heat pumps would reduce peak winter electricity demand by an amount equivalent to the output of 40 new gas-fired power plants. The report calls for Texas policymakers, regulators, and utilities to encourage heat pump adoption at the time existing central air conditioners need to be replaced.

Energy efficiency is vital for global sustainability, and India is embracing it to meet rising energy demands. With scalable solutions and renewable integration, the nation is advancing toward a greener future. Delta Electronics supports this vision through innovative technologies and sustainable initiatives.

The Province has launched a new program to support whole-building retrofits for apartments, condominums and co-ops, helping make homes more comfortable and reducing energy bills.

As climate change laws like Boston’s BERDO and New York City’s Local Law 97 reshape commercial real estate, landlords and tenants face new challenges. These regulations aim for net-zero emissions by 2050, impacting energy efficiency and emissions reduction in buildings. Lease negotiations must address costs, responsibilities, and compliance to avoid penalties and ensure sustainability.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced New York is the first state to offer retail rebates for low-and moderate-income residents to purchase energy-efficient appliances.

Speira’s new “transparent” melting furnace delivers more capacity, more recycling, precise insights and data collection in all process steps with 15 percent less energy.

Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an unconventional approach inspired by quantum physics, Rice engineer Gururaj Naik and his team designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high efficiencies within practical design parameters.

I had the opportunity to visit a children’s health center located about 300 km away from Astana, on the shores of a beautiful lake. The center, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year, has introduced green technologies, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency systems. It was inspiring to witness how such initiatives can tangibly improve sustainability while reducing environmental impacts.

Japan and Vietnam have deepened their cooperation based on Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) and issued carbon credits for nine new projects by the end of October.

A new commentary, published by members of the Energy Demand Changes Induced by Technological and Social Innovations (EDITS) network, coordinated by IIASA, highlights that switching the focus from how energy is supplied to how energy is consumed can be a more effective approach to reducing carbon emissions with the added benefit of improving wellbeing for all.

Most community buildings in England are lagging behind other non-domestic buildings in meeting upcoming energy efficiency standards, according to a newly published report.

A new analysis from CDP has revealed that almost half of companies globally use no renewable electricity, while more than nine in ten have no energy efficiency targets, thus missing opportunities for cost savings and enhanced resilience.

In a concerted effort to bolster energy efficiency and drive the green transition, the European Investment Bank Group (EIBG), the European Commission (EC), and the Solar Impulse Foundation (SIF) launched a new pilot initiative aimed at boosting energy efficiency investments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative, a key element of the EIB Group Strategic Roadmap 2024-2027, is designed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs across Europe.
