As energy demand continues to increase along with gasoline prices, students from Mater Dei High School in Evansville, Ind., demonstrated just how fuel-efficient vehicles can become with the help of innovative design and a lot of hard work. Their entry in the sixth annual Shell Eco-marathon Americas achieved an impressive best run of 2,188 miles per gallon in the Prototype class. Mater Dei also achieved the highest mileage, 611 mpg, in the UrbanConcept class with “George,” a vehicle modeled after George Jetson’s cartoon flying car.

Clean energy from renewable sources like solar and wind power has long been considered the way of the future. Wind power, in particular, has enormous commercial potential, especially in Germany, where it promises not only to protect the environment, but to create employment as well. At this year’s Hannover Messe, the world’s leading providers are presenting their latest wind energy innovations and showing ways in which clean electricity and energy efficiency can help make our big cities better places to live.
Frost & Sullivan recently published a white paper, Virtualization for Midsize Businesses: Keep Your Foot on the Accelerator, which identifies the benefits midsize businesses gain through holistic adoption of virtualization technologies.
To overcome the many recurring challenges pertaining to data centers, there are streams of benefits virtualization across servers, storage, networks, and desktops can deliver, especially for midsize businesses with heightened strategic priorities in innovation and revenue growth. This shift to virtualization increases capacity and improves effectiveness with greater speed, flexibility and reliability than possible in non-virtualized environments.

Energy efficiency is at the heart of Europe’s growth and transition to a resource efficient economy. The European Union aims to save 20% of its primary energy consumption by 2020 (compared to what has been forecast). Everyone’s contribution is crucial in meeting this goal. By better insulating buildings we can reduce energy consumption by 28% by 2020. By choosing modern energy-efficient refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers etc. we can use significantly less energy than with older appliances. By buying lighter vehicles or using low fuel consumption tyres we can double the fuel efficiency of an average car.
This video clip provides an overview of the European Union’s energy efficiency objectives and shows how each of us can make the difference, be it in our professional or private life. This video clip was disseminated in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria and United Kingdom.

Re-fueling at the pump is a constant source of horror for most drivers, with prices of 1.50 euros per liter of Super now the norm. So it only makes sense that our scientists should be searching for a way to cure us of our petroleum addiction. And the solution could come from advanced, high-efficiency electric motors. This is the domain of electric mobility, which has its own dedicated tradeshow at HANNOVER MESSE, the world’s leading industrial technology fair. The latest electric mobility technology promises to save not just money, but the environment as well.
Leviton today introduced a full line of residential Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors that combine state-of-the-art technology with a sleek new design to provide optimal management of lighting and motor loads. Available in either Automatic-ON (Occupancy) or Manual-ON (Vacancy) switching, these energy-saving sensors are available in models engineered to control current LED, CFL, fluorescent, incandescent, halogen or motor loads. Leviton Sensors help manage energy consumption and costs by ensuring that lights/loads will turn OFF automatically when a space is unoccupied and motion is no longer detected within the covered range.
