An automatic control device designed to be responsive to temperature and typically used to maintain set temperatures by cycling the HVAC system.
Industry:Energy
Disaggregating electric utility service into its basic components and offering each component separately for sale with separate rates for each component. For example, generation, transmission and distribution could be unbundled and offered as discrete services.
Industry:Energy
A device, containing a clock mechanism, which can automatically change the inside temperature maintained by the HVAC system according to a preset schedule. The heating or cooling requirements can be reduced when a building is unoccupied or when occupants are asleep. (See California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Section 2- 5352(h))
Industry:Energy
A space that is neither directly nor indirectly conditioned space, which can be isolated from conditioned space by partitions and/or closeable doors. (See California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Section 2-5302)
Industry:Energy
Energy obtained by using the motion of the tides to run water turbines that drive electric generators.
Industry:Energy
Electric service sufficient for basic needs (an evolving bundle of basic services) available to virtually all members of the population regardless of income.
Industry:Energy
The pricing of electricity based on the estimated cost of electricity during a particular time block. Time-of-use rates are usually divided into three or four time blocks per twenty-four hour period (on-peak, mid-peak, off-peak and sometimes super off-peak) and by seasons of the year (summer and winter). Real-time pricing differs from TOU rates in that it is based on actual (as opposed to forecasted) prices which may fluctuate many times a day and are weather-sensitive, rather than varying with a fixed schedule.
Industry:Energy
Gasoline that has had tetraethyl lead removed in conformance with federal and state regulations.
Industry:Energy
A measuring device that records the times during which a customer uses various amounts of electricity. This type of meter is used for customers who pay time-of-use rates.
Industry:Energy
Replacement or addition of electrical equipment resulting in increased generation or transmission capability.
