In Danish, the policy put a halt to global warming do to grass root level, the level of the home. More than half of Danish carbon emissions come from private consumption for heating, electricity, transportation, and consumer goods. Danish citizens are generally aware and know to global warming, climate change, and the need for energy savings. But not all apply in their everyday lives. Campaign and conducted by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Ministry of Transport and nationally. Finally about two years ago the idea of really smart and great with forming Climate and Energy Ministry, the two camps are usually highly stressed about the environment and carbon emissions!
Campaigns are conducted with everyday things that touch directly the activities of everyday life, with which citizens can directly calculate how much in expenses and how much long-term investment that accompanies it, if they reduce carbon emissions. Reducing carbon emissions and then became the daily topic in the “coffee shop”.
A very real example is when the Danish government issued a regulation on the rules to make the house. That all moving in the desired direction, only if the government really wanted (!), Then get out rules enforced, not just written a manufacturing process was expensive. So, come out the rules of the Building Code.
People will not be able to see what the benefits of energy efficiency. Government can. Must start from the government, so the people then knew, and then everyone could just walk. Can not be submitted to the public for granted.
The first principle is applied the principle of punishment and reward (stick and carrot) concerning the use of energy. They are energy-intensive high fees and instead they are using energy very efficiently to get the incentives.
The government will implement tax is very high energy. If energy is of no value, people will not appreciate it. They’ll throw it away from the window. That way, people began to always remember to turn off lights, installing air conditioning in the temperature was around 25 ° Celsius, and with that they can save significant expense.
Code of Ethics with a new building, the government is targeting a reduction of energy use, converted to oil-up to 25 percent-30 percent than in 2006. Existing buildings need an average of 14 liters of oil per square meter (lt/m2). In 2006 the use of energy equivalent to 5.5 lt/m2 homes by 2010 target is 3 lt/m2. After the year 2010 regulations will be tightened. Regulations that are mandatory. Gradually all buildings must have a certified “green house” or building “green”. Certificate issued by the Danish Energy Authority.
Buildings are certified with various price levels are higher than the old buildings that do not follow the rules of energy efficiency. However, lower operational costs. The ultimate goal is, “The passive (passive house) is a house that does not use fossil fuels, home without greenhouse gas emissions (Grk). At some point in the future.
Charlotte Green Houses
Following the code, the government appointed Stenløse housing in the area, about 30 minutes from Copenhagen, the Danish capital, to apply the rules of the green house.
Families with two children can install insulation into an important part of a home with energy efficiency. Insulation works to absorb heat and cold air from the outside so that the temperature inside the house is not too hot or cold. They do not need a lot of gas to heat homes. Gas heating in the building of new homes have been planted as an installation under the house so no longer metal rods in the house.
In addition, placement of windows with large glass also causes the use of electricity can always be suppressed because the house light. Insulation of windows is made up by import-glass windows with high insulation power from Switzerland.
Ground water savings made with rainwater with a reservoir at the bottom of the home page. Water was used for washing clothes, flushing toilets, and washing dishes. Because there is no Chlor it, just need a little detergent, washing is also faster so that the electricity used less.
