Video: Energy Efficiency – A Danish Approach

By State of Green | [email protected]

28 October 2014

Energy used in buildings typically represents about 40% of all energy used in society. Existing technologies such as proper insulation and windows with low heat loss substantially reduces energy. Furthermore, undertaking energy renovation, when buildings in any case are in need of repair, makes it even more financially beneficial.

Intelligent energy-efficient buildings are expected to be an important part of future energy systems. There are practically no limits to the number of functions that can be incorporated. Measurement, analysis and control are important prerequisites for effective energy management. Integrating energy-consuming components with energy-producing ones and incorporating intelligent buildings into the energy system saves energy costs and reduces CO₂-emissions.

Simple measures carry massive savings.

The video showcases resource-efficient facts and approaches to:
Retrofitting, Building Envelopes, Isolation, Noise Pollution, Intelligent Lighting, Indoor Climate and Energy-producing components. .

The video may be used, free of charge, to promote Denmark as a green nation under credit to State of Green.

Denmark's industrial sector cuts emissions by 17%

The most energy-intensive companies in Denmark's industrial sector have successfully cut emissions by 17% over the past two years. The slash in emissions is largely attributed to the governmental decision made in 2020 to implement a CO2 tax within the industry.
