All of this implies that power consumption has moderately increased, server count slightly greater than power consumption, and user count much faster thus implying data center efficiency has improved in power consumption per server and enormously improved in users per server.
The future energy picture for the U.S. or the planet is not constrained by the availability of supplies, either fossil or non-fossil, but by efficiency gains in generation and consumption.
Implenia's engineers could use that virtual world mock-up to remotely track the data center's power consumption and efficiency in ways that would have otherwise been tough without visiting the location.
By doubling the number of StemCell Media processors compared to the previous ZMS-20, the ZMS-40 delivers twice the peak media performance, while running the larger array at lower clock speeds to achieve the same performance leads to greater energy efficiency and a reduction in power consumption of up to 50 percent.
It says the way to reduce paper use lies in cutting consumption in industrialised countries, improving papermaking efficiency, and using more recycled paper and materials other than wood in manufacture.
Between 2002 and 2011, states without efficiency goals exhibited an average increase in per-capita electricity consumption of 9%, while states with efficiency goals had a per-capita increase of only 5%.
As part of its Digital Service Efficiency effort to reduce power consumption in its data centers, eBay slightly changed some of its software code so that the code would require less memory.
Smart metering is part of an increasingly popular trend in energy efficiency called "demand response" in which customers voluntarily cut back on their power consumption during times of highest electricity demand, like the hottest days of summer, when air conditioners are running at full blast.
The problem with efficiency gains is that we inevitably reinvest them in additional consumption.
NOte that 23% reduction in fuel consumption is due to the efficiency increase and another 5% reduction is due to the replacement of 5% of the gas by the ethanol (EDIE uses 5% ethanol).
None of this should surprise environmentalists: Fuel-efficiency standards sparked the boom in the ultimate symbol of wasteful consumption, the sport utility vehicle.
How do you align molecular biology and algorithmic algebra with a career in energy efficiency, retrofitting, solar power, power consumption, and further, corporate reputation, building trust and promoting ethical business?
Although the amount of gas used to generate electricity rose 82% between 1997 and 2010, increasing efficiency in appliances that use natural gas has led to declining consumption of gas per customer over time.
Energy efficiency has been touted as the low hanging fruit in reducing energy consumption.
FORBES: HP Takes A Green Step With Energy Efficient Printers
Energy efficiency is often touted as the low-hanging fruit in reducing energy consumption.
Other provisions in the amendment would require the labeling of new tires so consumers can choose based on their efficiency, contributing to as much as a 3% reduction in fuel consumption and the electrification of truck stops.
Low household energy costs dampen demand for energy efficiency and most home-appliance manufacturers have hugely reduced their energy consumption in other ways.
Distributed energy aims to decouple profits and consumption so that power companies have a greater incentive to invest in energy-efficiency technologies that drive distributed-energy networks.
Household energy consumption has been on a downward trend since 2005, partly as a result of energy efficiency measures already in place, according to the report.
