Translation of "Apport d'énergie thermique " (French → English) :

(iii) equipment that is used by the taxpayer, or by a lessee of the taxpayer, to generate electrical energy in a process all or substantially all of the energy input of which is thermal waste, other than

Question No. 55 Mr. Francis Scarpaleggia: With regard to Health Canada’s Radiofrequency Exposure Guidelines known as Safety Code 6: (a) how was the code established; (b) does the code deal with potential dangers from all electromagnetic devices; (c) what is the distinction between thermal and non-thermal effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy; (d) does existing research on the thermal effects of exposure to RF energy adequately determine whether such exposure is safe for humans; (e) does existing research on the non-thermal effects of exposure to RF energy adequately determine whether such exposure is safe for humans; (f) ...[+++] what work is Health Canada undertaking to remedy the uncertainty surrounding the non-thermal effects of exposure to RF energy by carrying out additional research into the non-thermal effects of exposure to RF energy; and (g) are changes to the code planned to include the most up-to-date scientific research on devices such as Hydro “smart” meters?

If Canada and British Columbia want to continue being portrayed as having a very strong, clean energy brand, then we are going to need a good mix of the renewables to supplement the thermal.

The Commission considers that the measures in question should cover buildings, transport and industry, and should be designed: - to provide consumers with information * through the energy certification of buildings to inform prospective buyers, and subsequently prospective tenants, about the energy efficiency of the buildings in question * through energy audits in businesses to identify the improvements that can be made to energy installations and energy management - to encourage consumers to behave more responsibly * through the billing of heating, air-conditioning and hot-water costs on the basis of actual consumption rather than on a ...[+++]flat-rate basis (according to surface area or a share of the property) * through regular inspections of equipment which, because of their large numbers, have a significant effect on the energy balance: boilers and vehicles - to take the life expectancy of new buildings into account in relation to their thermal insulation - streamline public-sector authorization procedures for investments which can be financed by the energy savings they generate, i.e. third-party financing.
