Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Economics
  • Air Pollution
  • Climate Change
DEF

The gross emissions[,] including all industrial activities, mostly fossil fuel combustion[,] minus carbon sinks from forestry activities and agricultural soils.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Geology
CONT

The supply push (SP) scenario represents a world in which technology advances gradually and Canadians take limited action on the environment. However, major technological breakthroughs on alternative energy sources remain beyond reach and environmental action is focussed on local initiatives. The main theme of the SP scenario is security of continental energy supply and the push to develop known conventional sources of energy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie économique
CONT

Le scénario pression de l'offre(PO) illustre un monde dans lequel la technologie se développe graduellement et où les Canadiens entreprennent des actions limitées sur l'environnement. Les grandes découvertes technologiques sur les sources d’énergie de remplacement demeurent toutefois hors de portée et les actions sur l'environnement se résument à des initiatives d’envergure locale. Le scénario PO a pour thèmes principaux la sécurité de l'offre énergétique à l'échelle du continent, d’une part, et la pression pour développer les sources d’énergie classiques connues, d’autre part.

Record 5 2003-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Standards and Regulations
  • Environmental Management
CONT

The Performance Path offers the greatest design flexibility, allowing for a building that does not meet some of the prescriptive requirements (subject to certain limitations) but that will not consume more energy than it would have if it had been designed in accordance with the Prescriptive Path.

CONT

A performance approach (also known as a systems performance approach) allows you to compare your proposed design with a baseline or reference design and demonstrate that the proposed design is at least as energy efficient as the baseline in terms of annual energy use. This approach allows great flexibility but requires considerably more effort. A performance approach is often necessary to obtain credit for special features, such as passive solar, photovoltaic cells, thermal energy storage, fuel cells, and other nontraditional building components. This approach requires an annual energy analysis for the proposed and the reference buildings.

CONT

Indicate whether building will be designed to prescriptive, performance or trade-off approaches.

Key term(s)
  • system performance approach

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réglementation et normalisation (Construction)
  • Gestion environnementale
CONT

L'une des trois voies de conformité proposées dans le Code national de l'énergie pour les maisons et le Code national de l'énergie pour les bâtiments. La voie de la performance autorisera des solutions de remplacement plus complexes, d’après une analyse de la performance des constructions au moyen d’un logiciel reconnu dans les codes de l'énergie. [Sources : Le code national de l'énergie pour les maisons et le code national de l'énergie pour les bâtiments. ]

CONT

La méthode de la performance offre le maximum de souplesse dans la conception en acceptant les bâtiments qui ne satisfont pas à certaines des exigences prescriptives (sous réserve de certaines restrictions), mais qui ne consomment pas plus d’énergie qu’ils ne le feraient s’ils avaient été conçus suivant la méthode prescriptive.

In addition to adding capacity there was also the issue of repowering some of the older units at the plants. Valmy had the capability of doubling the facility. Dynergy and NRG Energy were experts in using state-of-the-art techniques to reduce the emissions in coal-fired facilities and reused water in order to improve the environment. Had the companies been able to purchase these plants they could have implemented their ideas on the expansions as well as the repowering. ... the agreements could include ideas representing: ... re-engineering or repowering the generating assets to produce increased electricity or produce electricity more efficiently or make available more capacity ..., - expanding the generating capacity of the generating assets or constructing or installing new generating assets on the real property adjacent to the generating asset ... The companies ... represented had the financial capability and had been desirous to invest ... in new plants and repowering plants.
