Editor's comment: A few thoughts on designing for energy efficiency...

Technology evolution will fuel energy management

Smart technologies drive thinking on future energy systems

- Remote condition monitoring must not be overlooked in energy efficiency strategies (03/03/2020)
  
  While the advantages of remote condition monitoring are widely recognised as part of a predictive maintenance strategy, its use as a direct energy management tool has not yet been widely adopted in industry.
- Next generation intelligent solutions help improve energy efficiency (03/03/2020)
  
  Availability of convergent products featuring embedded technology is now giving engineers a high degree of control when designing systems to provide building users with valuable information around energy usage.
- Why engineers must keep the connected future front of mind in smart building design (03/03/2020)
  
  In the thought-provoking 1950 short story, ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’, American sci-fi, fantasy & horror author, Ray Bradbury envisioned an automated house in 2026 that continued its daily routine, despite the fact that its occupants had been vaporised days earlier by a nuclear weapons exchange.
- Special supplement: Designing for energy efficiency... (03/03/2020)
  
  This special supplement, brought to you by EPDT & RS Components, provides insights, best practices & real-life application examples of how electronics design engineers can help drive energy efficiency for products & services, workplaces and homes.
- EPDT March 2020 issue (inc. Displays & Comms features + EMS Outsourcing supplement) now available online (03/03/2020)
  
  This month’s issue, now available in print or digital editions, contains features on Displays technologies and Communications applications, plus EPDT's twice-yearly Electronics Outsourcing supplement and our ElectroTestExpo show preview.
- NG eCall: the automotive emergency call system of the future (02/03/2020)
  
  The introduction of eCall, the automatic car emergency call system, was preceded by years of discussion, negotiation and coordination at the European level. Since March 2018, it has been mandatory for all new homologated car models in the EU.

  In the race against time, there’s an antenna to ensure every fraction of a second counts... (02/03/2020)
  
  The margin between success & failure couldn’t be finer in the most prominent sports endurance events. There are often just fractions of a second between a competitor finishing in first or second place – which is why a highly accurate race timing & management solution is critical for successfully capturing endurance sports results.
- Inductors: Theory & Practice (29/02/2020)
  
  Inductors are sometimes regarded as mysterious by electronics design engineers; consequently one needs to know how to select the correct ones.
- ‘Peak Car’ bringing huge opportunities for sustainable mobility, says research (27/02/2020)
  
  2030 will be the global ‘tipping point’ for sustainable mobility in the world’s largest cities, according to Kantar’s ‘Mobility Futures’ study, confirming findings from the recent IDTechEx study, ‘Robot Shuttles & Autonomous Buses 2020-2040’. Kantar predicts private car journeys in the world’s largest cities
