The Difference

A methodology is presented that uses readily available information such as energy consumption data, limited building characteristics, and local daily temperature data to identify energy-inefficient homes in a heating-dominated climate. Specifically, this methodology is applied to 327 owner-occupied, single-family homes in Boulder, Colorado, which are compared to simulated prototype homes. A home’s energy-efficiency is characterized by its construction properties, such as insulation R-values, infiltration rates, and mechanical equipment efficiencies. Previous research indicates a close relationship between these properties and inverse modeling parameters, such as the heating slope (HS) values from variable-base degree-day (VBDD) models. The methodology compares the HS values from VBDD models of monthly natural gas consumption data to simulated HS values of reference homes. The difference, ΔHS, is the primary criterion for quantifying a home’s energy-efficiency and energy retrofit potential. To validate the results of the methodology, the results from a detailed energy assessment of a field-test home are used. Using the natural gas consumption noted in the utility data and historical weather data for the dates of bill, a VBDD model is created and the HSfield-test is calculated. HSreference of a 2009-IECC reference home of identical size is calculated and the difference, ΔHS, is calculated. Using UA-values and mechanical efficiencies from the energy assessment report, the theoretical HS values are calculated for both the assessed home and the reference home. The difference, ΔHStheoretical, is calculated. Overall, a 24% difference is found between the ΔHS and ΔHStheoretical. While the accuracy can be improved, the implication is that the energy-efficiency of homes can be inferred from inverse modeling of utility data under a specific set of conditions.

Natural gas as a main clean energy has received national attention,especially under the influence of "shale gas revolution" in the U.S. China has a large shale gas reserves,so Chinese shale gas development has also been widespread concerned.This paper uses GM(1,1) to predict Chinese natural gas consumption in the next few years.The results show that natural gas consumption will continue to rise,and increase rapidly.Under the influence of the current international Low-carbon energy transformation,this paper based on the consumption forecast,and combined with the development of shale gas in current China and the experience of shale gas development in the United States.Put forward some suggestions on such as shale gas exploration, the core technology, infrastructure, laws,regulations and policies,to improve the ratio of natural gas in primary energy consumption structure.

Natural Gas Consumption

Currently, the development of industrial manufacturing and the energy consumption management for the natural gas demand better methodological tools to evaluate the efficiency of the enterprise’s energy strategy because modern methodological grounds for energy efficiency analysis do not account for a number of factors which affect the usage of secondary energy resources and do not offer any reasonable management solutions aimed to improve the efficiency of natural gas consumption in manufacturing processes. Current conceptual approaches to the evaluation of the natural gas consumption strategy by an industrial enterprise do not comprehensively consider the interaction between the enterprise’s energy supply in-house factors and the factors of energy resource market environment. Along with that, developing a strategy for the efficient natural gas consumption turns out to be the key factor to increase the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise, to guarantee a sustainable economic growth of industry, and to improve the ecological situation in the country. The purpose of the present research is to develop a comprehensive approach to natural gas consumption strategy for an industrial enterprise, this approach including a business model for strategy implementation and efficiency evaluation tools. The novelty of the research is as follows: 1) the studies in the energy efficient strategy are offered to apply new notions such as strategic competencies of energy efficiency and business competencies of energy efficiency which were used to justify author’s mathematical tools for the development of energy efficiency strategy for natural gas consumption and its business model; 2) the paper proposes an evaluation method for energy efficient strategy in natural gas consumption and its business model which determines the proportions based on the key indicators of enterprise’s energy efficiency. A well-proportioned system of these indicators is developed from the strategic competencies of the enterprise’s energy efficiency and includes the assessment of energy efficient, economic, financial, ecological sustainability. The key purpose of strategy’s development is seen to be a ready-to-use management system for the efficient natural gas consumption at an industrial enterprise, the system arising from the sustainable, dynamic, and innovative energy consumption economy which meets all modern requirements of the energy efficient development in industrial manufacturing. Compilation and implementation of natural gas consumption strategy within the proposed system of well-proportioned indicators is examined under three criteria: compliance, competitiveness, and efficiency. The system of well-proportioned indicators includes a strategic management map for the efficient natural gas consumption. This map visualizes the strategic goals and the key tasks of the energy efficient strategy. The author’s model of the energy efficient strategy as a system of well-proportioned dynamic indicators can be applied by the national industrial enterprises to identify the areas and to reason the management decisions aimed to improve the efficiency of natural gas consumption in manufacturing. The author’s conceptual approach to the strategy of the efficient natural gas consumption was tested at the metallurgic enterprises in Chelyabinsk region. Test results prove the trend in extending the evaluation of the efficiency of the natural gas consumption strategy, which could support the coherence of the strategic goals for the energy efficiency management at different levels of economy hierarchy: country, region, industry, and an industrial enterprise. The research reveals the connection between the strategy, its business model, and the manufacturing efficiency when achieving the goals of the enterprise’s energy efficient strategy. It has been justified that the efficiency manufacturing organization provides a real basis for the natural gas consumption strategy and requires additional investments into the advanced energy saving and energy efficient technologies. In its turn, this intensifies the extended recovery of the fixed assets at the national enterprises. Further research is seen to be focused on the analysis of the trends in developing the energy efficient strategies for natural gas consumption at the industrial enterprises, on improvement of the methodological tools for quantitative analysis of the energy efficient strategy impact on energy, economy, and ecological safety, as well as on the development of management impacts system providing the efficiency of natural gas consumption at the industrial enterprises.

Natural Gas Consumption

Since 2007, the use of natural gas in China depends on the import, and with an increase in natural gas consumption, gas imports are also constantly growing. In 2018, Chinas natural gas imports approached 100 billion cubic meters, which is 70 times more than in 2006. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the use of natural gas in China. Turkmenistan is Chinas main source of pipeline gas imports, and China is Turkmenistans largest exporter of natural gas. In the framework of the traditional model of oil and gas cooperation, China and Turkmenistan are facing such problems as the uniform content of cooperation, lack of close ties in the field of multilateral cooperation and slow progress in the development of the entire industrial chain. Cooperation between China and Central Asia in the field of oil and gas is increasingly affecting the nerves of other countries, except the five countries of Central Asia, but including Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Iran and other countries of the Middle East, Japan, South Korea, etc. and even the European Union and the USA. Despite the favorable trading environment for both parties, there are also problems in the domestic market of Turkmenistan and the risks of international competition.
