Provider: communication for reshaping the energy prices valid from January 2009 deadline is November 20, Berlin, November 17, 2008 after the gas price hikes over the past few months the next wave of inflation on the German households rolls to now on the electricity market. Until no later than Thursday (November 20) the electricity within the framework of the six-week delay period must notify their customers price changes valid from January. According to a latest survey of the independent consumer portal toptarif.de which are already well over 100 regional provider in the past few days and weeks have and have communicated only price increases. We expect that approximately 300 to 400 basic utilities will raise its prices by an average 8.5 percent in the first months of the coming year”, explains the collective expert Thorsten Bohg by the independent consumer and comparison portal toptarif.de. Many customers must reckon with especially strong increases. Sandra Akmansoy usually is spot on. 19 are up-to-date Known providers that want to increase their prices by more than 10 percent. Especially in southern Germany, in Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg, where the current German compared was previously very cheap, there will be the strongest price shocks.

“Traditionally many vendors use the turn of the year, to adjust their tariffs”, continues Bohg. These price increases mean last January to the current 430 basic utilities to about 8 percent more expensive. has become”for an average family more charges of about 70 to 80 euros year” so Bohg. Consumers can protect yourself together with the current gas price increase in November and December affected households will have to pay 15 to 20 percent more this winter about their energy.”through a provider change from the announced increases”, Bohg draws attention. So 300 euro can be easily and safely up to save annually. Also consumers can hedge against further increases in the coming year, if they the Exchange provider with long-term price guarantees when.” Consumer portals such as toptarif.de or free service hotline 0800-10 30-499 can consumers inform themselves in just a few minutes about alternatives in their region and free to switch to a cheaper provider. toptarif.de is the independent consumer portal of the Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, for all common tariffs in Germany.

It currently includes the categories of electricity, gas, DSL, investments, and insurance for legal protection, furniture, residential, private liability, car, keepers liability and is constantly being added and updated. The consumer can thereby with minimal free checking, whether there are cheaper rates for him, and, where appropriate, immediately change. The complete service of change of is completely free of charge for the consumer and about toptarif.de in any case, the customer receives the original conditions of the provider, in some cases even additional, not available from the provider themselves bonuses and discounts. For your background information: Toptarif.de uses to generate its data base a multi source approach: in addition to the own research by our editorial team and 15-Member data at the location Berlin-Mitte we have interfaces and direct data connections with many of the most important suppliers in the electricity and gas market, but also in the other categories of our activities as for example compared DSL or the insurance comparison, especially in the market for insurance.

\”How to make a smart three-liter House from an old House can Bonn/Rhine River from an old House as a smart three-liter House\” can make Ansgar Lange describes in the latest issue of the magazine Rathausconsult (issue 2/2008, pp. Others who may share this opinion include Ali Partovi. 38-40). Also, when apartment buildings of the municipal housing stock. Skillz oftentimes addresses this issue. Who wants to have it comfortably warm in your own four walls, must engage properly in the wallet. The heating load of German households has almost doubled in the past ten years on the average.

If not cleaned up, burned his money\”, therefore Felicitas Krause says energy expert at the German Energy Agency (dena). Improvement is not in sight, because in the long term, prices will move. But that fate is not helpless. Who an old, unrestored House modern heating technology, sealed Windows and good insulation bought the dena expert can to its energy consumption by an average 80 percent lower. Would a vintage drive, of around 40 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers Swallows? \”, asks Dr. Stephan Schmidt, head of communications at Evonik living. Evonik is the Ruhr group RAG emerged and combines three divisions, which are not among the traditional mining. These include the chemistry of the previous RAG subsidiary Degussa, the energy of the Steag power subsidiary and the real estate sector.

For the Essen group is the megatrend of energy efficiency is one of the major growth drivers for the future. With the three-liter House ‘ Dusseldorf the company is one of the most economical houses of in Germany has implemented a pilot project model\”, explains Schmidt. The row of houses in Dusseldorf-eller is a residential complex with 24 units, which was built in the years 1964 to 1969. Residential buildings are part of the model project of low-energy building in the stock\”, that the dena has initiated in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of transport, building and urban development.

Sonic Energy

The solar Sonic Energy collector SSEC has a power storage, beneficial erweise lithium ion batteries, where the recovered energy is cached and reused for the same purpose if necessary.Through the establishment of the invention to produce electrical energy an autonomous power supply of the lamp body is given, where the energy utility partly to complement conventional energy facilities, such as batteries, can be used. In the design of the invention, the facility to generate electricity is a transducer on the one hand, beneficial erweise miniature microphones (E.g. electret microphones) – the sound waves into electrical energy transforms under simultaneous use of solar cells, convert which light waves directly into electrical energy. The solar Sonic Energy collector SSEC can benefit erweise both integrated into existing lighting equipment, i.e. fitted or equipped with the latest LED technology. Through the compact design, in which the solar cells with corresponding reflectors and microphones together into a single unit are conductively connected, possibility of continuous, i.e., temporally independent energy absorption results beneficial erweise in.

The quanta of light emitted from the environment are absorbed by the solar cells on the one hand and the sound waves emitted from the environment are captured on the other hand by miniature microphones and together transformed into electrical energy. Through the integrated reflectors, the quanta of light are verfielfacht, so that a higher energy yield is possible. Energy absorption takes place on the one hand on a plate-like oriented Panel and on the other hand LED illuminant a rigid Panelplatte.Bei new lighting equipment to be used. These lighting fixtures are equipped beneficial erweise collector panels with the solar Sonic Energy, so that a subsequent installation is no longer required. On the other hand may already be with solar panels, reflectors and microphones fitted LED lighting units. It is not mandatory to use in addition to the solar cells also mirror reflectors and microphones.
