Discusses a recent in-depth review of the Institute of Energy, culminating in the reorganisation at the Devonshire Street headquarters which identified a number of areas where it was felt that members should be better informed about the Institute’s work on their behalf.

Given the less than whole-hearted reception frequently given to representatives of western oil companies and equipment suppliers and their consequent growing disenchantment, how successful is the new centre likely to be? 95101110 The valua of dlvaralty Jones, P. M. Energy & Environment, 1994, 5, (3), 215-225. Diversity, security of supply and environmental benefits or disadvantages are factors given special mention in the terms of reference of the Govemmerit’s ongoing Nuclear Review. They are not mutually exclusive, nor do they embrace all the wider benefits and disadvantages arising from energy (or energy saving) investment decisions. Employment, balance of payments and macroeconomic effects are also potentially significant relative to the financial cost differences between energy options. Nevertheless, fuel diversity has figured prominently in many countries energy policies over the past 50 years, stimulated by concerns over the long run availability and price of fossil fuels. These have been exacerbated from time to time by international political developments and by the actions of powerful interest groups within countries. 95lOllll Whoaa utlllty: Tha social Impact of public utlllty prlvatlaatlon and ragulatlon In Brltaln Ernst, J.

Many industries, such as steel, aluminum, glass, and hazardous waste incineration, produce high-temperature exhaust gases. Because these exhaust gases contain large amounts of energy, the potential for significant cost savmgs is enormous. To recover some of this energy, high-temperature heat exchangers can be installed in the exhaust flows. High-temperature heat exchanners are also used as fire-tube boilers.

After a discussion of heat losses and energy costs in municipal heated swimming pools, an analysis is presented of the performance of all of such ~001s in Northern Ireland. It is demonstrated that nerformance is aenerallv well below that expected by the designers and reasons are identif?ed as to why this should be so. The causes for poor performance are found to arise variously throu poor design, inappropriate equipment selection and installatron and $ ad control and operatmg practice. Part of the value of this study lies in the fact that as all _ok inthe region were included, with no pre-selection, the findings can c expected to be fairly representative of such installations throughout the United Kingdom. 95/01118 Energy use by office aqulpment - Raduclng longterm runnlng coats Hill, R.

This bottleneck can be divided into three thresholds: high costs, large investment risk and lack of money. Four energy distribution companies started a leasing project in schools to enable them to break down these thresholds. Under normal conditions this approach proves to be profitable.
