DISCOUNT power offers green electricity since 01.03.2011 since 01 March 2011 the energy brand DISCOUNTERS power has a new product in the portfolio: customers who want to make a contribution to climate protection, now have the opportunity to obtain their energy as green electricity at discount stores current. The Munich electricity supplier makes it its customers pricing also here as easy as possible: green energy is simply offered as an option to the regular tariff: for only 1 / monthly In addition on the base price, the customers receive green energy. For more clarity and thought, follow up with Daryl Katz and gain more knowledge.. This power is produced 100% from hydropower. “Environmentally conscious customers have the certainty that their consumed electricity exclusively from a so-called renewable energy” obtained. This includes among other things the use of water, wind and Sun.

Thus, no CO2 emissions or radioactive waste are connected. Already in November last year the electricity supplier has announced that the eco-friendly logistics solution GOGREEN of Deutsche Post AG will be used from 2011. This means that all correspondence from the Deutsche Post AG CO2-neutral will be sent to customers of discount power. With the establishment of a green electricity tariff, discount power now goes another big step in the direction of sustainable energy and environmental protection and gives its customers the opportunity to obtain clean energy at a discount price. The DISCOUNTER power eco power tariff is 2 cents per kWh in the first 12 months at least 3 cents / kWh less than the current general tariff of local basic utility, then. In addition, customers will receive a loyalty bonus in the amount of 50, which resolves after 12 months delivery time and paid the next financial statements financial statements. More information on discount stores current and new eco electricity tariff can be found via the following link:

DENEX takes first in the federal state capital Wiesbaden instead that Hesse is committed to the goal, to ensure a long-term secure and affordable energy supply which meets the requirements of the environment and climate change for business and consumers. To do this, the share of renewables in energy consumption in Hesse will be increased up to 15 per cent by 2015. Also the new renewable energies Act (EEG), as well as the renewable energies heat Act (EEWarmeG), which enters into force on 1 January 2009, play an important role here and contribute to the achievement of these objectives. In the face of scarce funds and looming climate change scenarios on energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy demand inexorably. Accordingly, the demand for professional know-how and contacts. The technologies in the field of energy efficiency in construction and energy supply have developed rapidly in recent years, but their potential is far from exhausted. The DENEX, trade fair and Congress for decentralized energy systems is platform in Hesse for planners, manufacturers, service providers and large users such as local authorities, industry and housing sector, to inform about the possibilities of energy saving in the construction, renovation and energy supply and to establish contacts with professionals.

It will for the first time from the 02-03 July 2009 held in the Hessian capital Wiesbaden. How a municipality to provide an integrated, efficient heat supply? How can larger units such as apartment blocks or hospitals save energy and at the same time economically and efficiently are supplied with electricity and heat? How can regional potential (such as, for example, forest resources) will be included in the energy supply? Those elements must an efficient energy supply have? The DENEX provides answers to these and many other questions. The fair offers a unique overview of the possibilities of renewable energy. Around 80 exhibitors to inform decentralized energy systems and energy-efficient construction and renovation and present the about 2,500 visitors their products and services. Accompanying to the fair the exhibitors Forum offers profound knowledge in free lectures to the exhibitor. In addition to the exhibition, various conferences take place, where can the approximately 500 participants in addition to inform and educate. For example, following meetings are planned: energy efficiency in housing, nursing homes and hospitals, local heating networks, mini cogeneration, heat pump and small wind turbines.

Active climate protection and strengthening the local forestry and timber industry are unabated best arguments for building with wood that holds successful history of building with wood. Timber-framed buildings and houses are the traditional construction methods, long time shaped the image of timber construction. But the timber construction has changed. Today, wood is a high-tech building materials for the construction and design of modern, trend-setting structures. Extensive research by universities and manufacturers over the past decades have helped to demonstrate the positive properties of the building material wood. Wood-based materials, construction methods and construction techniques have been developed, the climate problem-free construction material give a bright future.

Creative designers and innovative clients do much today, new, surprising and compelling solutions to the various challenges in the residential and commercial construction, as well as for infrastructure projects, such as bridges, to be realized. It is this trend to continue. The success story of the wood substrate can be grasped in numbers. Heinze has market research study found that 14.5 percent of the nearly 150,000 buildings created in Germany in 2007 were largely constructed of wood. In 2003, the rate in the home construction still amounted to 12.9 percent.

In particular, the South of Germany’s contribution to this development. As also in Austria and Switzerland, is the wooden construction rooted here traditionally (Bavaria 18.4%, Baden 21.8% in 2007). After absolute numbers Bavaria was in 2007 at the top: 5752 buildings were erected in the free State from renewable raw materials. This wood construction tradition forms the basis for an innovative use of the economically interesting and ecologically valuable construction material. \”In addition to the constructive properties there are above all the environmental aspects, the often decisive per wood\” type. Wood naturally has an excellent climate record. The use of indigenous Woods strengthens in not only the local forestry and timber industry, but they an important aspect holds also the transport expenses low, when looking at the overall energy balance of a building, included in the expenses for the production of building material used.
