  • Government Contracts
  • Environmental Economics
CONT

An energy performance contract(EPC) is a performance-based financing mechanism that enables a client organization to leverage the technical and financial capacity of an energy service company(ESCO) to design, build, and secure financing to improve energy management practices and/or retrofits within a facility or group of facilities. This contracting model is a low-risk, turnkey service that delivers guaranteed energy and cost savings. The ESCO assumes some, or all, of the initial capital costs, and the client repays the ESCO over a specified period from the resulting utility cost savings. After the contract closes, the client receives ongoing savings from energy, GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions, and utility costs.

CONT

Un contrat de performance énergétique (CPE) est un mécanisme de financement fondé sur la performance qui permet à une organisation cliente de tirer parti des capacités techniques et financières d'une ESE [entreprise de services énergétiques] pour créer et obtenir un financement dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques de gestion de l'énergie ou de réaliser un projet de modernisation dans un bâtiment ou un groupe de bâtiments. Ce modèle de contrat est un service clé en main à faible risque qui permet de garantir des économies d'énergie et de coûts. L'ESE prend en charge une partie ou la totalité des coûts d'investissement initiaux, et le client rembourse l'ESE sur une période déterminée grâce aux économies réalisées sur les coûts des services publics. Après la conclusion du contrat, le client continue de profiter d'économies d'énergie et de coûts des services publics ainsi que d'une réduction des émissions de GES [gaz à effet de serre].

CONT

A loss of ozone around 40 km is particularly significant because that is the altitude where chlorine is thought to be the major player in the destruction of ozone. (Nitrogen radicals are the key species in the lower stratosphere, between about 12 and 30 km.)

OBS

nitrogen(·); N· radical: The dot must be centered and pronounced after the name: "nitrogen dot"; "N dot radical."

CONT

II-VI short wavelength lasers have had to overcome several technical challenges to become what they are today. Arguably the foremost obstacle to practical ZnSe based light emitters was the ability to p-type dope the semiconductor. It was discovered that by incorporating free nitrogen radicals in ZnSe sufficiently high p-type doping could be obtained.

CONT

Vitamin C and lipoic acid are also potent antioxidants that can scavenge various reactive oxygen and nitrogen radicals.

CONT

The injection of natural gas and urea has been shown to enhance the NOx reduction potential of the natural gas in utility boilers. The chemical kinetics mechanisms of FLGR® and SNCR have many of the same selective reactions. The injection of natural gas in hot, low oxygen furnace gas results in the formation of hydrocarbon radicals(CHi) and the subsequent formation of nitrogen radicals. The injection of urea(NH2-CO-NH2) results in the formation of similar nitrogen radicals. Both of these reagents reduce NOx to molecular nitrogen through a series of similar reactions.

CONT

New studies of the catalytic destruction of ozone in the lower stratosphere suggest a reordering of the catalytic cycles. Recent in-situ observations (from ER-2 flights) suggest that nitrogen radicals may not be as dominant in the catalytic destruction of ozone in the lower stratosphere as previously thought.

Plusieurs nouvelles méthodes pour engendrer les radicaux iminyles, amidyles, carbamyles et autres radicaux azotés ont été mises au point. Les applications en synthèse organique, surtout dans le domaine des alcaloïdes, sont multiples.

Utility shafts. Utility chases for piping and wiring are very common in multistory buildings. Because the utilities must serve each floor, it is more convenient and economical to run them in a common location. These vertical shafts run from the basement up through the building to provide water, sanitary, electricity, and telephone services on each floor. These utility shafts have contributed to the spread of fire and smoke with the resulting loss of life and property.

Shaft walls systems are used around elevator shafts, stairways, smoke towers, and other such service shafts.

  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • Measurements of Electricity
CONT

The watt-hour(symbol W·h or Wh) is a unit of energy. It is most commonly used on household electricity meters in the form of the kilowatt-hour(kW·h or kWh), which is 1, 000 watt-hours. It is not used in the International System of Units(SI), despite being based on the watt, as the hour is not a SI unit. The SI unit of energy is the joule(J), equal to one watt-second. It is, however, a commonly used unit, especially for measuring electric energy. 1 watt-hour is equivalent to 3, 600 joules(1 W x 3600 s), the joule being the canonical SI unit of energy. Thus a kilowatt-hour is 3, 600, 000 joules or 3. 6 megajoules.... The kilowatt-hour is commonly used for electrical and natural gas energy. Many electric utility companies use the kilowatt-hour for billing.

OBS

Megawatt-hours are used for metering of larger amounts of electrical energy. For example, a power plant’s daily output is likely to be measured in megawatt-hours.

OBS

plural: kilowatt-hours or kilowatthours. Lots of variants can be found, but they should be avoided: kilowattshours, kilowatts hour, kilowatts hours, kilowatt hours, kilowatts-hour, kilowatts-hours, kilowatts/hour, kilowatts/hours, kilowatt/hours.

Shaw’s field proven Yellow Jacket provides external protection for pipe used in the oil and gas and waterworks industries where moderate operating temperatures are attained and good handling capabilities are required. Yellow Jacket consists of a continuous sheath of high density polyethylene extruded over a rubberized asphalt adhesive. [Accompanied by an illustration.]

CONT

As a gas utility guy I can say that 3-layer poly is not a common coating for most distribution applications. It is more likely to be used where the need for extremely high reliability(such as offshore) or resistance to abrasion(such pulling pipe through a bore) warrants the high cost. The extruded polyethylene(also sometimes called yellow jacket) coating is common and is much less expensive, although also less reliable.

CONT

The pipeline may ... be inspected with an external "E-PIT" probe. This multi-channel device locates and sizes pits at a repair site before the pipe is cut. It works right through the Yellow Jacket coating, at speeds of up to thirty feet per minute.

Les dictionnaires techniques des termes pétroliers donnent le choix, pour le terme anglais «jacket», entre les équivalents français suivants : enveloppe, chemise, jaquette, manchon. «Chemise» a, dans le domaine technique, le sens de revêtement de protection (tout comme «enveloppe», ce dernier terme étant plus général). À partir de la description de l'objet donnée dans le contexte anglais, on comprend qu'il s'agit d'un «sheath», donc d'une enveloppe de protection. L'expression «enveloppe de protection extérieure» est attestée, d'où notre proposition (voir le contexte qui suit). Les termes «chemise jaune» et «enveloppe de protection extérieure jaune» (ou «enveloppe extérieure jaune», tout court) constituent à notre avis de bonnes solutions de traduction du terme anglais «yellow jacket».

OBS

L'idée de base [pour transporter des liquides sur de grandes distances] consiste à utiliser un tube de service entouré d'une isolation très performante, et d'une enveloppe de protection extérieure. Ceci permet au liquide qui passe dans le tube de service de conserver un état et une température constante. [...] Le tube de service peut être constitué de plusieurs matériaux, tandis que l'enveloppe extérieure est normalement en polyéthylène extrudé, en acier ou acier galvanisé.
