Abstract
ABSTRACT Reducing Co2 Emissions—Depending on the sources of electricity production, the use of electricity can be a contributing factor to net CO2 emissions. What is less obvious is the fact that the increasing use of efficient end-use electric technologies has the potential to save energy and decrease overall CO2 emissions substantially. There are two main mechanisms for saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions with electric end-use technologies: (1) upgrading existing electric technologies, processes, and building energy systems; and (2) expanding end-use applications of electricity. Upgrading existing electric end-use technologies embodies replacing or retrofitting older equipment with new, innovative, highly efficient technologies. It also includes improving controls and operations and maintenance practices, as well as reducing end-use energy needs by improving buildings and building processes. In essence, this first mechanism is comprised of what are commonly referred to as energy efficiency and dema...
