They absorb the light and convert light to heat with incredible efficiency.
Furthermore, by capturing and reusing energy that would otherwise be lost in waste-heat, CHP improves overall efficiency by double digits.
In 2001, the Alliance to Save Energy picked awarded Pataki its most prestigious annual prize for leadership in energy efficiency and combined heat and power.
"The efficiency of conventional heat engines is limited both by the laws of thermodynamics and practical concerns over the cost of building and operating complex engines, " says Los Alamos researcher Scott Backhaus.
The 80% efficiency seen in combined heat and power plants, known as cogeneration plants, is ideally suited for large institutions--universities, hospitals, airports--that have extensive electricity and thermal energy demand in a concentrated area.
Better ball movement and improved personnel are among the reasons the Heat logged a league-best offensive efficiency rating of 110.3 points for every 100 times they had the ball this season.

In most kinds of engine and electronics, heat is an enemy, robbing them of efficiency.
Higher as in 1, 200 degrees Celsius, which would heat air hot enough to run a high efficiency turbine like those used in fossil fuel power plants.
Highlights of the new software include System Match technology with features such as True Radiant and Heat Pump Balance geared to help high-efficiency, non-conventional (i.e. not forced air) heating systems perform even more efficiently.
By capturing a large share of this wasted heat for end users, CHP can achieve an efficiency of as much as 90%.
Thermal efficiency is how much of the potential heat energy of the fuel used is actually returned as work at the wheels.
CHP, or cogeneration, is not a single technology but rather a suite of technologies that can be mixed and matched in many ways to provide high-efficiency, low-emissions source of heat and power from a single process.
Gamers do not have to worry about excess heat while having all of their settings cranked up, keeping the laptop cool is accomplished by an efficient and quiet design using a larger, single omni-directional blower fan and dual heat pipe and heat sink system, minimizing the noise and increasing the efficiency over other designs that utilize two smaller and louder blowers.

Interestingly enough, I ran because I wanted to make sure Mainers could heat their homes and have become a fierce advocate of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

They're famous in the often cutthroat industry for their efficiency also for wearing neckties in the blistering heat.

Several eco-friendly construction and design features helped the building earn a total of 43 points towards LEED Gold certification including the use of materials with recycled content, regionally sourced materials, energy efficiency upgrades and windows with a special coating to reduce heat transmission.
Secondly, when considering end-to-end efficiency, it is much less energy-intensive to heat water by direct use of natural gas on-site, rather than by using that natural gas to first make electricity that is used to heat water because of the large conversion losses at power plants.
They want certainty, and GE in particular wants to sell windmills, heat-capture devices, and all sorts of other industrial gear to enhance efficiency.
The potential efficiency savings from such projects are immense, says Neal Elliott, an expert on combined heat and power (CHP) systems with the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
