 Green Heat - heating and cooling the world with renewable energies
The world's largest single source of GHG emissions is from using space conditioning and heating water.
Despite support for green power and green fuels, people are only starting to understand the environmental
implications and economic potential for adopting the 'silver bullets' of Green Heat.

energies (we c.a.r.e.)

Taking action in an EIT country (Romania): a two-sides perspective
The two sides in this
presentation relate to the climate change activities performed by Romania in the last period, taking also
into account the limited resources: the elaboration and approval of the first National Strategy on Climate
Change, together with the Action Plan for the period 2005-2007; and increasing the experience on developing
Joint Implementation projects (case study with a geothermal energy use for district heating).

Low Hanging Fruits that Go Unnoticed
Opportunities to decrease your energy
bill by 10-30% with a one-year payback
According to the general wisdom, decreasing our energy will require a change in life style or major
investments in more efficient but more expensive technologies. Some may be surprised to learn that today
you can build or renovate a building that will consume 50% less energy than a typical building for almost
the same cost; that improving the operation of buildings can decrease the energy consumption by 20%
typically. What is even more surprising is to learn that the simple payback to get those savings is about
one-to-two years! In this presentation you will see examples of how “Retrocommissioning” and
the Advanced Building challenge can save you a lot
