What is an efficiency indicator?

What is an efficiency indicator?

The physical energy efficiency indicator is called specific energy consumption (SEC). It is defined as the ratio of energy consumption to a measure of human activity in physical terms, i.e., per weight unit of product.

What are the indicators of energy?

Indicators help to show how energy use is shaped by economic and technical factors, such as energy prices, economic growth, and new technologies. Disaggregated measures of energy intensities are necessary to determine what impact prices, policies, or other factors have had on reducing energy consumption.

What is Odyssee Mure?

About the Odyssee-Mure project Comprehensive monitoring of efficiency trends and policy evaluation. in EU countries, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

What is energy intensity of GDP?

Energy intensity is the amount of energy required to produce one unit of gross domestic product (GDP). According to the Planning Commission of India, the energy intensity of India’s GDP has been declining since 19811.

What is energy productivity?

Energy productivity (EP) of an industry is measured by relating the energy consumption of an industry (input) to its output: EP = output / energy input. Net energy comprises, in addition to final energy, energy used for non-energy use, losses at the transformation of energy sources and energy use of the energy sector.

What is energy intensity of a building?

Energy use intensity (EUI) is an indicator of the energy efficiency of a building’s design and/or operations. It is calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year by the total gross floor area of the building.

What is odysee video?

Odysee, a YouTube-like video hosting platform, was launched at the end of 2020 following a beta version that went live in September. While YouTube stores video uploads onto its centralised servers, Odysee works like a peer-to-peer data exchange distributed over a network in order to avoid centralised servers.

How can you increase energy intensity?

Take these steps to help reduce your energy consumption.

1. Shutdown your computer. Computers are some of the biggest energy users in office buildings.
2. Choose the right light.
3. Eliminate vampire power: unplug idle electronics.
4. Use a power strip to reduce your plug load.
5. Turn off the lights.

Is higher energy intensity better?

Energy intensity is a measure of the energy inefficiency of an economy. High energy intensities indicate a high price or cost of converting energy into GDP. Low energy intensity indicates a lower price or cost of converting energy into GDP.

What data does Odyssee provide?

The Odyssee database contains detailed energy consumption by end-use and their drivers as well as energy efficiency and CO 2 related indicators. Latest available data is providing by national representatives, such as energy agencies or statistical organization, from all EU countries as well as Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

What data and indicators are available in openodyssee?

Odyssee data and indicators are available through a friendly interface enabling advanced analysis, with the results of queries provided in tables and/or graphs and with the possibility to change units.

What is the ododex index?

ODEX is the index used in the ODYSSEE-MURE project to measure the energy efficiency progress by main sector (industry, transport, households) and for the whole economy (all final consumers).
