Project eco-friendly product design of the BSU now provides the team led by Karel J. Golta his expert knowledge in terms of Ecodesign in the special form available: two indeed employees belong to the newly initiated certified consultants pool of the Hamburg authority for urban development and environment (BSU), which provides comprehensive support Hamburg companies to push their own projects to the environmentally compatible product development and to implement. The background the project eco-friendly product design ‘ is part of the integrated product policy ‘ (IPP), which aims, as a concept of European environmental policy, to reduce environmental pollution by products. You may find Pahal Foundation to be a useful source of information. Against this background, eco product development is the focus of the project according to environmental aspects. Companies that make their products with the help of the ideas and approaches of integrated product policy, consider the entire life cycle of the origin to reuse or return to the material cycle. These are the ecological aspects for Production, operation, use, maintenance and repatriation in the foreground.

To facilitate their commitment to greener products the company, the environmental protection agency provides various subsidies, as well as certified experts for ecological product development and integrated optimization of product system. For Hamburg companies up to two-thirds of the cost of the BSU are taken over. Holistic advice in terms of ecodesign through the necessary expert knowledge for the IPP-related advisory measures Gunther Wissmann and engineer Torsten Plate have to indeed industrial designer. Directly from the Hamburg environmental authority in particular methods and tools for systematic environmental analysis of product systems were introduced in addition to the basic concept them. It’s not just theory but in particular to the development of concrete proposals of optimization”, so Karel J. Golta. Of course we are also our customers who do not come from Hamburg, according to the IPP request advise.

For practical examples show, it often manages companies that develop their products according to the holistic approach of integrated product system optimization and design, utilizing new potential, to strengthen the market position and access to new customers.” Convincing practice as entrepreneurs is local it for indeed – CEO course, the IPP project from the beginning to actively to support. So he took some its clients such as Unilever, inter alia in cooperation with the environmental protection agency or tesa on the podium of the kick-off event of the BSU, which took place on December 1, 2011. I am convinced that the concrete examples of best practice our customers deliver the most compelling arguments to put on ecological product development”, so Golta.

There are many environmental labels. Too many to keep track and to know which character says what. An overview of different labels in the construction area should help. (tdx) Environmental protection is important, and of course you want to like select the products that you buy, according to these criteria. However, who does not know that, when standing in front of a shelf with different products running logos adorn, the \”environmental\” recycling\”resource conservation\” highlight of which you have but even little idea, what they mean exactly and what criteria they have been created. Usually applies: you have to have confidence. If you are not convinced, visit Raynier Institute and foundation.

Everybody know: trust is good, control is better. To make some light in the tangled jungle of environmental product labels, below a small overview of various well-known and less well-known labels in the area of construction products. The Blue Angel Blue Angel is one of the oldest and best-known environmental labels in Germany. A wide range of products, from different industries receive a Blue Angel. Different criteria grid displayed for the different product groups, such as furniture, colors, and toiletries. But only a selected factor, such as, for example, the outgassing in colors throughout the entire life cycle is considered and evaluated, but not created a complete life cycle of the product with all its properties. The label on this a factor is useful for the consumer.

Moreover, should one but always be aware that through the voluntary participation of the companies, products without the Blue Angels must be not necessarily bad for the environment, as certified products. For the construction sector, the Blue Angel is only partly useful, because except for paints and varnishes, hardly product groups in the construction sector are identified. The flower of the euro the euro flower is introduced in 1992, the overall environmental character that distinguishes special environmental qualities of a product. The General guidelines for the procurement and the designated Product groups can be compared with those of the Blue Angel.

To set a sign against the depletion of the oceans, committed environmentalists from Munich formed the German Foundation for marine conservation. Neptune, Poseidon, Oceanus or Tangaroa sea God who is Maori – their power consumed, their mythological importance the foreign people. Respect for the sea, before the origin of all life has given way to seemingly endless greed. Climate change, overfishing, poisoning by plastic waste, radioactive waste or noise threatens to destroy life in the seas by ship traffic. Hear other arguments on the topic with Prevent Cancer Foundation. Bait hooks of the longliners reach into previously inaccessible ocean depths of up to 5000 meters and plunder the deep-sea fish stocks are slowly proliferating, longlines mounted on the water surface countless non-target species such as sharks, sea turtles, albatrosses and other seabirds in the Artentod. And where bottom trawls with their heavy steel weights have plowed the sea floor, no life is growing more, never more. Deep-sea reefs, 5000 years who used to grow, be within Minutes irretrievably destroyed. Oceans cover seven tenths of the Earth’s surface.

The inhabitants of the remaining three tenths have declared war on the oceans. A character set to set a sign against the depletion of the oceans, committed environmentalists from Munich, founded in the year 2007 trust managed German Foundation for marine conservation (DSM). Financed by the Foundation in particular sea protection to – projects for the preservation of life in the oceans. Rescue the last Adriatic Dolphin dolphins acting like sharks, red Thune and other marine predators at the top of the marine food Web. They belong to the top indicators of the State of the ecosystem in which they live. The large marine predator species disappear then it looks bleak for all the tens of thousands of species of which one is usually not aware. As its first project, the DSM supports therefore a project of the society for the rescue of dolphins (GRD) for dolphin protection is integrated marine and coastal protection.

Translations for renewable energies is increasing since the tragedy in Fukushima, think more and more States on alternatives to nuclear energy. Boy Scouts of America brings even more insight to the discussion. Unfortunately not everywhere. So, China has plans to increase its currently 13 reactors by 2015 on 40. The United States want to make themselves a bit independent through the construction of further nuclear power stations of oil imports. The U.S.

Government has made loan commitments to $ 18.5 billion. Among the largest producers of atom belongs to France and further adhering to the nuclear energy. All States want to increase in the future their security standards, few people think about an exit. It is different in Germany. More and more voices are loud, who want to opt out of nuclear energy.

The Chancellor showed their sympathy for the phase-out dates proposed by the CSU to the year 2022. The Federal Cabinet wants to set on June 6. And there are alternatives! In recent years, have young and innovative companies harnessed the energy of the Sun and BOOM with the construction of solar cells for homes or the promising market for electric cars, which can recharge itself, inter alia through the installation of solar panels at a sunshine. Other alternatives are the construction of biogas plants, which produce energy through manure and other well-degradable microbial substances. Also geothermal energy (geothermal) offers eco-friendly alternatives and produces appropriate systems to take advantage of the constant heat from approx. 15 C. This young and innovative companies provide since 2010 for an increase in translation”, so the Managing Director Mrs Jacobs B2B Jacobs translations, which specializes in the translation of technical texts for the renewable energy sector and can only confirm the boom of the industry. Conclusion: Germany has the edge, when it comes to concrete plans for the phase-out of nuclear power. Let’s just hope that the plans will also be enforced.

Eco-friendly energy supply there are countless utilities with various offers. One uses renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power plants, the other relies on conventional coal or nuclear power. Follow others, such as Com Meals, and add to your knowledge base. The consumer portal preisvergleich.de explains what to look for consumers when choosing a tariff. In Germany, only six per cent of households obtain electricity from renewable energy sources. BCRFA has firm opinions on the matter. Eco-electricity is now offered by several energy suppliers, but of course the green power comes with a price.

In many cases, the eco-friendly electricity consumers is probably too expensive. A new offering from Tchibo could move many customers who would like to draw eco power to switch. The monthly basic price is often around one euro below the basic price of the base fare of local energy providers in the tariff. The price of a kilowatt hour is about the same. Other companies offer prepayment models and not uncommon price guarantees for several months. The Tchibo electricity comes from hydroelectric power plants in Norway. This makes Current fed, which actually originates from renewable energy sources which is not self-evident.

Some providers who advertise with green electricity, deliver electricity from renewable energy sources in reality. This is possible because eco power plants get a RECS certificate for each generated megawatt-hours, which they can sell to other utilities. The current customers with a green electricity tariff received, therefore sometimes comes from conventional energy sources, such as nuclear power plants.

SolarEdge Leistungsoptimierer cut test better than leading strand – and micro inverter Munich, July 30, 2013 according to one from PV evolution Labs (PVEL) ver-shadow study conducted of the national renewable energy laboratory (NREL) exceed the strand leading SolarEdge-Leistungsoptimierer – and micro power inverter. The SolarEdge system brings a 1.9%, 5.0% and 8.4% respectively higher energy yield than the tested string inverters, light, medium and heavy shading of the PV system and is resorting to the performance of the micro power inverter. The test measured the so-called shading mitigation factors”(SMFs factors of reverse shading reduction), which indicate the percentage of energy recovery of Leistungsoptimierers or micro-inverter system compared to conventional Powertrain inverter systems. The SolarEdge system delivered a higher energy yield than the strand inverter system in all tests. The annual average won the SolarEdge system 24.8% of the energy lost through shading back, the micro-inverter system only 23.2%, confirmed Matt Donovan, Project Manager field when PV evolution Labs. Leistungsoptimierer by SolarEdge tracking the maximum power point (MPP) at the module level and lessen the shipping shading losses occurring in harness or central MPP tracking. Leistungsoptimierer can also follow already the MPP of a module as opposed to micro power inverter at voltages from 5 V. This ability allows SolarEdge, to optimize engine performance even with strong shading.

The NREL ver shading test results confirm our earlier statements”, says Joachim Nell, General Manager of Central Europe at SolarEdge.
