Since energy-efficient landscaping can reduce residential heating demand in northern and temperate zone homes by 30 percent, this decrease in fossil fuel use would proportionally reduce carbon dioxide release.
The interconnection was operating near peak capacity due to the extreme cold weather and high heating demand, and was therefore more vulnerable than usual.
A specialized cylindrical wick with a central airflow tube satisfies the high and uniform heating demands of the mantle.
Thus in the example below, an insulated cube of about 2.8 m would appear to provide sufficient storage for a single house to meet 50 % of heating demand.
In CHP schemes, while the power station produces electricity, the waste hot steam is piped to local communities to meet heating demands.
The retrofit conversion reduced the amount of energy required to fulfill the heating demands compared to the city steam system and also eliminated approximately 300,000 gallons of waste water per year.
Last year's shirt-sleeve winter greatly reduced heating demand.
For example, a biomass cogeneration unit is extremely expedient, which meets the (reduced) additional heating demands for his Plusenergy homes.
Due to this residential heating demand, about 2.3 GW of extra power is needed for every degree Celsius of temperature drop.
Northern areas experience shortages in winter due to increased heating demand and problems with coal deliveries.
