能源的有效利用降低了能源成本和温室气体（GHG）排放，能源的混合也会影响GHG排放。在美国，建筑行业约占温室气体排放量的三分之一[1]，这为利用先进的设计、运行和控制策略来最小化能耗和排放，同时通过实施热电联产、热回收、自适应控制和其他先进技术来优化整体系统性能提供了一个极具吸引力的机会。本文提出了一种通过改善能源消费者和供应商之间的沟通以及先进的能源管理系统来控制温室气体排放和能源消耗的方法。一个涉及热电联产的具体例子详细说明了这一概念。 单位:双引文:ASHRAE交易，第116卷，第。1，奥兰多2010

The efficient use of energy reduces both energy costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the mix of energy sources can also affect GHG emissions. In the United States, the building sector comprises about one third of GHG emissions [1], presenting an attractive opportunity for utilizing advanced design, operation and control strategies to minimize energy consumption and emissions while optimizing overall system performance through the implementation of cogeneration, heat recovery, adaptive controls and other advanced techniques. This paper presents an approach for controlling GHG emissions and energy consumption through improved communication between energy consumers and suppliers, and advanced energy management systems. A specific example involving cogeneration is detailed to demonstrate the concept.Units: Dual
