	Epact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epacts are used to find the date in the lunar calendar from the date in the common solar calendar.
		Whenever the epact reaches or exceeds 30, an extra (so-called embolismic or intercalary) month has to be inserted into the lunar calendar; then 30 has to be subtracted from the epact.
		Therefore the epacts are in units of 1/30 of a lunation (also called a tithi).

	Epact
		The whole system of epacts is based on the Metonic Lunar Cycle (otherwise known as the Cycle of Golden Numbers), and serves to indicate the days of the year on which the new moons occur.
		It is generally held that the Last Supper took place on the Jewish Feast of the Passover, which was always kept on the fourteenth day of the first month of the old Jewish calendar.
		We have defined an epact as the age of the moon on 1 January, i.e.

	Epact™ Impact Measuring System
		Epact was developed in 2003 by DevStudios International Inc. as part of a consultative process with the United Way of Alberta Capital region, as well as United Ways in Vancouver, Calgary, Victoria, Winnipeg, Peel, Toronto, and the United Way of Canada.
		Finally, epact provides a user customizable reporting infrastructure that not only allows for the creation of a wide range of reports but also allows for reports to be published electronically on the United Way’s website, thus making the impact of the organization more tangible and visible to the public.
		Epact has seen strong adoption in Canada, and through an innovative adoption program, we are working on making it the number one tool in the United States.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epact
		This addition of one to the Epacts is known as the Lunar Equation, and occurs at the beginning of the years 1800, 2100, 2400, 2700, 3000, 3300, 3600, 3900, 4300, 4600, etc. A second disturbance of the Epacts is caused by the occurrence of the non-bissextile centurial years.
		From this arrangement it is evident that if, for example, the Epact of a year is X, the new moons will occur in that year on the days before which the Epact X is placed in the calendar.
		To take an example: the Epact of 1696 (its Golden Number being 6) is XXVI, and since this Epact is found opposite 4 February in the Church calendar we know that in 1696 the new moon happened on that date and that consequently 23 February was the twentieth day of the calendar moon.

		The epact may be determined for years 1582 to 4200 as follows.
		To look up the epact for any year using the table, find the century in the left column, and the last two digits of the year in the top row.
		For example, the epact for 1965 is in the row for 1900 and the column for 65.

	WIND Instrument Descriptions
		EPACT measurements will determine elemental and isotopic abundances for the minor ions making up the solar wind, with energies in excess of 20keV.
		EPACT will also provide information on shocks in the interplanetary medium, which accelerate particles from solar-wind energies to several hundred keV.
		The EPACT instrument consists of three integrated telescope/electronics boxes mounted on the body of the spacecraft.

	Energy Policy Act (EPAct): Federal Fleet Requirements
		EPAct requirements apply to certain fleets of 20 or more LDVs that are centrally fueled or "capable of being centrally fueled" and are primarily operated in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)/Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA).
		Compliance with EPAct is met by AFV acquisition credits, which are granted on the basis of the number of AFVs acquired and the quantity of biodiesel fuel used.
		The Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act of 1998 (ECRA) amended EPAct to allow fleets to generate one AFV acquisition credit for every 450 gallons of pure biodiesel (B100, equivalent to 2,250 gallons of B20) purchased for use in diesel vehicles more than 8,500 lb GVWR.

	EPACT 1992
		Under the new law some of the most common and least efficient lamps (light bulbs and fluorescent tubes) cannot be made or imported into the U.S. Fortunately, the market has an ample supply of highly efficient substitutes.
		EPACT sets minimum efficiency standards for some of the most common products: incandescent reflector lamps (R), parabolic reflector lamps (PAR), 4 and 8 foot fluorescent lamps and U-bent lamps (U).
		EPACT nudges the lighting industry and consumers to lamps that use energy more efficiently and provide better colors.

	White Paper - EPAct 2005 Tax Deduction Provisions
		EPAct 1992 required the phased elimination of several popular types of fluorescent and incandescent lamps, and began the deregulation process of the $300 billion electric power industry.
		EPAct 2005 is considered to be less ambitious on energy’s demand side than its supply side, but does include a number of energy conservation provisions supported by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), several of which are of great interest to the lighting community.
		EPAct 2005, Section 1331, states: “There shall be allowed as a deduction an amount equal to the cost of energy efficient commercial building property placed in service during the taxable year.”

		Although considered less ambitious on energy's demand side than its supply side, EPAct 2005 does include a number of energy conservation provisions — several of which are of great interest to the lighting community.
		The amount of the deduction is the lesser of $1.80 per square foot or the costs incurred/paid for the energy-efficient property.

	Energy Policy Act Requires Purchase of Light-Duty Alternative Fuel Vehicles
		The U.S. Department of Energy's primary goals are to decrease the nation's dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security through the use of domestically produced alternative fuels.
		EPAct recognizes the following alternative fuels: methanol, ethanol and other alcohols; blends of 85 percent or more of alcohol with gasoline; natural gas and liquid fuels domestically produced from natural gas; biodiesel; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); coal-derived liquid fuels; hydrogen and electricity.
		Under Section 303 of EPAct, federal fleets must acquire a specified number of alternative fuel vehicles each year, as a percentage of their annual light-duty vehicle acquisitions.
