- White Paper: Taking Energy Efficiency to the Next Level
- More than ever before, consumers are paying attention to energy ratings and showing a strong interest in alternative technologies such as hybrid vehicles, ''green'' white goods and LED lighting. In a ''from the top down'' approach, governments around the world are tightening electronic design criteria by enacting ever more stringent regulations -- turning what used to be ''nice to have'' features into design imperatives. In addition to the ultimate ...

- Green up: Smart grid getting smarter
- This month, its all about energy efficiency and the smart grid. SSTI Weekly Digest did a nice analysis of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, better known as the stimulus package) looking for energy-related items. The Digest came up with an overall figure of $39 billion allocated to the Department of Energy for upgrading the U.S. energy infrastructure. This includes items like $2.5 billion in R&D on advanced energy technologies...
