Traduction de «electric power consumption » (Anglais → Français) :

The seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs shall be calculated as the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode ηson, corrected by contributions accounting for temperature controls, auxiliary electricity consumption, standby heat loss, ignition burner power consumption (if applicable) and, for cogeneration space heaters, corrected by adding the electrical efficiency multiplied by a conversion coefficient CC of 2,5.

It encourages Member States to provide further incentives to consumers to stimulate demand for environmentally-friendly products; In addition, Member States should rapidly implement environmental performance requirements for external power supplies, stand-by and off mode electric power consumption, set top boxes and fluorescent lamps; The Commission will urgently draw up measures for other products which offer very high potential for energy savings such as televisions, domestic lighting, refrigerators and freezers, washing machines, boilers and air-conditioners.

Off Mode/Standby Power: The lowest power consumption mode which cannot be switched off (influenced) by the user and that may persist for an indefinite time when a computer monitor is connected to the main electricity supply and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

- ALTENER PROGRAMME The indicative objective of this programme, which is set to run for five years from 1 January 1993, is to achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 180 million tonnes in 2005 through the development of renewable energy sources according to the following plan: - increasing the contribution of renewable energy resources to the coverage of total energy demand from nearly 4% in 1991 to 8% in 2005 (to achieve this objective, the production of renewable energy sources should rise from nearly 43 Mtoe in 1991 to approximately 109 Mtoe in 2005); - trebling the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, ...[+++]excluding large hydro-electric power stations (to achieve this objective, the capacity and electricity production of all power stations - excluding large hydro-electric power stations - using renewable energy sources should rise from 8GW to 25TWh in 1991 to 27GW and 80TWh (in 2005); - securing for biofuels a market share of 5% of total fuel consumption by motor vehicles (the production in 2005 of 11 Mtoe of biofuels is considered necessary in order to achieve this objective).

It will also be important with respect to Canada's efforts to reduce the amount of standby power consumption by products such as televisions, microwaves, CD players, battery chargers, coffee makers and many others when they are not turned on but remain plugged in to an electrical source.

Phototronics" is aimed at the development of a European amorphous silicon industry in the field of photovoltaics, as a source of autonomous electric power supply for small consumption equipment (f.e. clocks, watches, portable measuring instruments, security and surveillance systems, remote controllers etc.), medical apparatus and liquid crystal flat screens driven by amorphous silicon based thin film transistors.
