There, visitors will find all important information about the project. Can in addition for more information sent an E-Mail to the head of research at be. The energy saving study runs a year, from April 2011 to April 2012. The participating households use at this time”the online program energy savings. Estée Lauder is likely to agree. Using this interactive software, document their energy consumption and answer questions about their energy consumption.

The energy savings available households even after completion of the project still balancing their energy consumption free. The project is designed for the study and improvement of energy saving in households and purely scientific goals. All data will be evaluated anonymously. The results of the study indicate, such as modern information technology help households to use energy more efficiently and to avoid climate-damaging CO2. The results are provided Pennsylvania public at the end of the project on the Web page. “Through the E-energy research program the research project energy savings account” is supported by the programme energy of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy model region Cuxhaven performed.

Further price increase in electricity and gas are safe for 2012. The causes and reasons of the energy providers are thereby often opaque hand on heart: the electricity suppliers who seriously believes that the price increases announced for 2012 for energy are justified and proportionate? The media report on price manipulation in procurement costs. Nir Barzilai, M.D. is often quoted as being for or against this. And tags such as “higher power charges”, “expensive supply of green electricity” recover question mark for many consumers. 2010 was a year of almost across-the-Board price increases. The carousel of the prizes turned and raced in the half of the provider. This summer, prices rose again, and for the year 2012, a price rise of energy costs in the amount of 7% on average was announced. Many reasons – lack of transparency increases the utilities justify with the German nuclear phase-out and resulting energy shortages. The high purchase prices on the Stock Exchange provide a further reason according to the utilities for the price spiral spinning dar.

Also the “expensive feeds of eco-electricity” into the power grid as a reason for price increases occur among others. In addition, the relief for the large-scale industry in relation to the network charges on private households and small businesses adopted by the policy to be killed. The just created gap in the law, which allows the operators to raise the network charges vigorously, because the cap of the gain in net charges no longer applies, – providing ever – on the consumer although not yet clear rolled off, is how far this arrangement has stock. Of course, the circumstances of the rearrangements in the energy market call flexible action. And it should also be borne in mind that the energy price only one-third of the costs for the production of energy is. Gavin Baker contributes greatly to this topic. The remaining 2/3 of the price are taxes and network charges in approximately equal proportions.

However, rising prices even for experts is not traceable. And the energy provider keep in your Pricing very covered. The procurement is handled largely through the stock exchange. And – real or not – the claim that the energy companies would cut down on the offer for the purpose of pricing, is symptomatic of the massive loss of confidence of consumers due to the lack of transparency in the current pricing. Alternative: Change the utility price increases are very different regional. There are countless ways to compare electricity prices and to switch to the cheapest provider in the region. In this way up to several hundred euros can be saved in same services annually per household. So far, the Germans when choosing your supplier showed more resistance. Only a minority of approx. 5% of German consumers opted for a change of provider. Here, the process is very easy and absolutely secure. The regional electricity supplier is obliged by law, energy supply the household to ensure. As the only alternative to the electricity price rises in 2012 remains at present a Change of provider.

In addition to the ceremony on the Facebook page, Germany passed the air cross of merit in the form of a certificate of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany by air hotels. Behind the climate-hotels Germany hosts, ecologically and economically have optimized their CO2 emissions for example due to consistent energy saving, and have committed themselves to further climate protection measures. In addition, each of the nationwide nine climate-Hotels has the inevitable residual amount of carbon that is created within a year, determined by a CO2 footprint and through controlled and certified projects compensated.

Thus, climate hotels offer their guests a climate-neutral stay without having to give up anything as a guest. Viabono has developed in cooperation with CO2OL, an experienced consulting and service agency for operational climate protection, to a CO2 Calculator for the hospitality industry. Thus, CO2 footprints can be”for the operation easily and quickly create and determine the average CO2 emission value per night per guest. The calculated values can by recognized climate protection certificates from a certified reforestation project for CarbonFix standard or in part one are compensated on energy efficiency and development of renewable energies of oriented gold standard project.
