		Energy can be in several forms: mechanical potential—due to possible physical interactions with other objects (for example, gravitational potential energy); kinetic—contained in macroscopic motion; chemical—potential stored in chemical bonds between atoms; electrical—potential due to possible charge interactions; thermal—contained in the kinetic energy of individual molecules[[2]]; nuclear energy[[3]]—potential stored between constituents of atomic nucleus [[4]].
		In contrast to kinetic energy, which is the energy of a system due to its motion, or the internal motion of its particles, the potential energy of a system is the energy associated with the spatial configuration of its components and their interaction with each other.
		Internal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the motion of molecules, and the potential energy associated with the rotational, vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules.

	Daikin air conditioning - Energy label underpinned by Eurovent
		The European energy label, already widely utilised on refrigerators, freezers and dish washers etc. is now being introduced into the air conditioning sector on domestic air conditioners displayed in stores and shops.
		The energy label is mandatory and the energy class indicated on the unit is based on a declaration of the manufacturer.
		It keeps members abreast of EU and other legislation, ensures their participation in international standardisation and improves awareness of issues concerning refrigerants, energy efficiency and indoor air quality etc. It also selects units at random and tests them in order to verify and certify manufacturers’ claims.

		Energy Label is also aimed at removing energy consuming models out of the market and as such to facilitate the implementation of minimum energy efficiency standards at the European level.
		Energy efficiency is expressed on a scale from G (low efficiency) to A (high efficiency) with a corresponding colour code (from red to green).
		Energy labelling has somewhat modified consumption patterns but the evolution of preferences is slow and the proportion of highly efficient models in sales is still limited.

	Energy - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		Energy can be used not only to produce observable change, it also is used to prevent change in which case unaided observation of this kind of energy can be difficult.
		While kinetic energy is the portion of a system's energy related to motion, potential energy is the energy of a system associated with the spatial configuration of the system's components and their interaction(s) with each other.
		Apart from its usage in physics the concept of energy is also widely used in the many movements and beliefs that comprise New Age but in contrast to physics its operationalization is not practical and reliable, or is even left completely undefined.

	European Union energy label Summary
		The labels also must show a "range of comparability" bar or scale (published regularly by the FTC) that shows the highest and lowest energy consumption or efficiencies for all appliance models that have features similar to those of the labeled one.
		Appliance manufacturers must attach the labels to the exterior surface of their products or use hang tag labels, which must be attached in such as way as to be easily viewed by a consumer examining the product.
		The energy efficiency of the appliance is rated in terms of a set of energy efficiency classes from A to G on the label, A being the most energy efficient, G the least efficient.

	The National Energy Foundation - Energy Labelling - Room Air Conditioners (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In common with other, mainly domestic, equipment covered by EU energy labels, room air-conditioners are graded on a scale from A-G, where A represents the best equipment that is widely available, and G the worst.
		The energy label will also show estimated annual energy consumption in kWh; comparing two labels on different RACs will enable the annual cost saving between one and the other to be calculated quite simply.
		The Energy Label for Room Air Conditioners with an input power of less than 12kW was first introduced on 1 January 2003, and was significantly revised for equipment sold after August 2005.

		The energy of a physical system is defined as the amount of mechanical work that the system can produce if it changes its state to its reference state; for example if a liter of water cools down to 0°C or if a car hits a tree and decelerates from 120 km/h to 0 km/h.
		Energy of an object can be in several forms, potential—due to the position of the object relative to other objects; kinetic—energy because of its motion; chemical—due to chemical bonds between atoms that make up the substance; electrical—due to its charge; thermal—due to its heat; and nuclear—due to the instability of the nuclei of its atoms.
		The imperial/US units for both energy and work include the foot-pound force (1.3558 J), the British thermal unit (Btu) which has various values in the region of 1055 J, and the horsepower-hour (2.6845 MJ).

	Lecture: Fuel Economy Label for Cars
		A label showing a comparison of a specific car’s fuel consumption to the average fuel consumption of cars of the same size was clearly preferred to a comparison among the whole fleet of new cars.
		Furthermore to the recommendations on label type, contents and layout described above, the study recommends items that have to be considered in a ‘communication strategy’ for the label, as well as accompanying measures and an overall strategy as a framework for the label to reduce CO2 from passenger cars and raise energy efficiency.
		One of the measures to influence consumer behaviour is to supply new passenger cars with a fuel economy label indicating fuel consumption and energy efficiency, comparable to the EU energy label for household appliances.

		The term 'energy' is also used in a spiritual or non-scientific way that cannot be quantified, to make certain prepositions look like they are more plausible, by imitating the scientific terminology.
		Oneandnbsp;eVandnbsp; is equivalent to 1.60217653andtimes;10andminus;19andnbsp;J. In spectroscopy^ the unit \mathrm{cm}^{-1} = 0.0001239 \mathrm{eV} is used to represent energy since energy is inversely proportional to wavelength from the equation E = h \nu = h c/\lambda.
		These two relationships andndash; the definition of potential energy based on force, and the dependence of force on potential energy andndash; show how the concepts of force and potential energy are intimately linked: if two objects do not exert forces on each other, there is no potential energy between them.

	Keeping the heat in Galway
		Manager of the agency, Peter Keavney, is available for consultation on anything to do with energy conservation and is a particularly useful source of information for people who are building their own homes who want to keep electricity and fuel bills down.
		It is a situation Keavney and the team at Geal hope to tackle with a target of reducing energy demand levels by 15 per cent of 1990 levels by 2010 through minimising waste, and good energy management, while at the same time allowing for growth and development of the region.
		More than with any other area of energy conservation, it is when winter fuel bills for heating start arriving on peoples' doorsteps that they start to appreciate what a difference energy awareness makes.

	The National Energy Foundation - Saving Energy - Washing Machines
		Although E, F and G rated machines could still legally be sold up to 31 December 1997, it is not an unlikely assumption that most machines being replaced today would have been rated D or E when new (as MTP estimates that the average life of a machine before it is replaced is 8.7 years).
		The official energy label also includes other useful information, including washing performance and the effectiveness of the spin dryer; again both on an A-G scale where "A" is the best performance.
		Energy consumption must be better than energy class A (in exact terms, the machine must use less than or equal to 0.17 kWh/kg of washing);

		An analysis of the national situation regarding mandatory or voluntary labelling, initiatives from the producers, eco-labels, and other certification labels on the white goods selected for the research.
		The second phase, in which the white goods were inspected at the point of sale, confirmed that while the mandatory legislation for the use of the EU Energy label was effective, the EU eco-label was rarely seen and none of the partner's countries have a national eco-label.
		The third phase showed that consumers trusted all notes, labels and self-declarations they found on products, believing that they were all strictly regulated, although they did not understand the meaning of all the information provided.
