Translation of "Graue energie" in English

The answer to this can be found in embodied energy.

It is necessary to check their " grey energy "

So this energy became the theme of the session and we searched for its origin.

So-called grey energy is that which is required for the production of the building material.

So there’s always a lot of “grey energy” stored in the building.

The production energy across the lifecycle (embodied energy) is not included in the annual energy balance.

Wood construction also reduces the "gray energy" to a minimum.

If more embodied energy is required, the difference can be compensated for with self-generated energy.

We also used straw bale infill for our library, which has zero embodied energy.

Furthermore, in the residential sector, steel and concrete-framed homes consumed 17% and 16% more embodied energy and released 14% and 23% more air pollutants than a wood-framed home.

But they didn't have a clue about grey energy, of course, or virtual water.

Now, if I compare that to a cotton towel that I can use a thousand times, I don't have a whole lot of embodied energy until I wash that yogurty towel.

Normally, only the cement needs to be imported from remote suppliers, making the embodied energy (the energy budget for providing and using the materials) of concrete favourable in comparison to other materials, such as wood and steel.

Our Central European production sites also ensure short and efficient transport routes in all European markets and therefore reduce the “grey energy“ of our sports surfaces.

In contrast, GF Machining Solutions did not reach the target line due to the division’s decision in 2016 to purchase “grey” energy for its production sites in Switzerland.

Dyesol's technology has lower embodied energy in manufacture, produces stable electrical current, and has strong competitive advantage in low light conditions relative to incumbent PV technologies.

An LCA needs to take into account the grey energy in its determination of environmental footprints in the life cycle of a product.

Whatever you have not yet released, even though there is an inner intention for it, is passed as a grey energy onto the masters, who become your children.

The ambitious yet non-binding strategy entitled "South Tyrol Energy 2050. South Tyrol on the Road to Becoming a Climate Province" does not take account of "grey energy", i.e. the CO2 emissions caused by the import of consumer goods into the province.

Despite its advantages such as the strong reduction of land use and water consumption in food production, Vertical Farms need a high level of embodied energy for construction.

The resulting additional grey energy for PEB is calculat-ed by the difference between the additional energy used for a better heat insulation of the building envelope (Minergie-P/passive-house standard instead of just Minergie-standard, triple instead of double-glazed windows, improved building equipment etc) and for the production of PV systems compared to the statutory building and energy standards.

Further, the ecology of the building is negatively affected by the high consumption of resource-intensive materials (embodied energy).

This applies both to the energy consumption produced by utilisation and grey energy, which is connected to the construction, preservation and demolition of buildings.

The TCR® system produces more energy than needed for its own production (grey energy).
