There are numerous strategies that contribute—not “would contribute”—to reducing a building's energy consumption—thereby reducing greenhouse gases—for instance, the use of energy-efficient lighting products, geothermal power, high-performance boilers, centralized control systems, improving the building envelope by insulating the walls and the roof and by installing energy-efficient windows (argon gas filled, low-E coating, low conductivity spacers), etc.

This Directive should provide for agreements to be made for the recognition of allowances between the Community scheme and other mandatory greenhouse gas emissions trading systems with absolute emissions caps, which are compatible with the Community scheme taking into account the level of environmental ambition and the presence of a robust and comparable emissions monitoring, reporting and verification mechanism and compliance system.

Notwithstanding this requirement, the status code (described in section 3.6 of this Annex) shall indicate fully evaluated control systems for both fuel types (petrol and gas) when the control systems are fully evaluated for one of the fuel types.

The control-command systems, if subjected to excessive heat or fire, shall not exceed limits for the emission of fumes or gases which are harmful to the environment.

If you're operating in a closed environment and you have a computerized monitoring system to ensure that only so many parts per million of a particular gas could be emitted, and there is the potential for more, a big concern would be that the embedded chips in those monitoring systems are working.

The following projects have been identified for Community assistance in function of their degree of advancement and the estimates of expenditure to be made before 1993: . The creation of reception facilities and transmission networks for the introduction of natural gas in Portugal and Greece; . The establishment of an interconnection between the gas transmission networks of the Republic of Ireland and those of the United Kingdom The inclusion of the island of Corsica in a possible future interconnection between gas transmission networks on the mainland of Italy and a transmission network to be established on the island of Sardinia; . The establishment of interconnections between gas transmission systems ...[+++] in Portugal and those in Spain The establishment of an interconnection between electricity distribution networks in Italy and those in Greece.
