What does ECM stand for?

The 12-year contract calls for Pepco Energy Services to provide energy conservation measures in 15 buildings on the ASU campus.

PUC spokesman Sean Sever says commissioners will make a brief presentation on the effect that energy conservation measures can have on customer bills, why energy costs can be volatile in Nevada, and the overall role of the commission.

This situation calls for adoption of all possible energy conservation measures and one of the most important measures to save energy is to ensure the construction of energy efficient buildings by using green building designs and technologies.

The buildings have adopted several energy conservation measures in design including heat recovery wheels, enhanced levels of insulation, optimisation of fresh air through variable speed drives on air handling units, recessed windows, and significantly low lighting power densities, said a statement.

New Belgium's new packaging hall, completed in 2007, incorporates several green building and energy conservation measures, including: skylights, solar tubes and windows for daytime illumination; an HVAC system that features displacement-ventilation technology and direct/indirect cooling and is Freon free; and water conservation elements including landscaping that utilizes "xeriscape" principles.

Waxman is a staunch advocate of strong clean air protections, stringent fuel-efficiency and energy conservation measures.

Topics to be discussed include energy conservation measures and its implementation in residential and industrial premises, performance improvement in air-conditioning systems, sustainable building design, thermal insulation materials for buildings and renewable energy sources.

Energy conservation measures range from renewable energy technologies to relatively simple upgrades.
