Energy consumptionEnergy consumption is the amount of energy used. In the body, energy consumption is part of energy homeostasis. It derived from food energy. Energy consumption in the body is a product of the basal metabolic rate and the physical activity level. The physical activity level are defined for a non-pregnant, non-lactating adult as that person's total energy expenditure (TEE) in a 24-hour period, divided by his or her basal metabolic rate (BMR): Topics related to energy consumption in a demographic sense are: Wo
Energy systemAn energy system is a system primarily designed to supply energy-services to end-users. The intent behind energy systems is to minimise energy losses to a negligible level, as well as to ensure the efficient use of energy. The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report defines an energy system as "all components related to the production, conversion, delivery, and use of energy". The first two definitions allow for demand-side measures, including daylighting, retrofitted building insulation, and passive solar building design, as well as socio-economic factors, such as aspects of energy demand management and remote work, while the third does not.
Température d'équilibre à la surface d'une planèteLa température d'équilibre à la surface d'une planète est la température théorique d'une planète considérée comme un corps noir dont la seule source de chaleur est son étoile parente. Dans ce modèle, la présence ou l'absence d'une atmosphère (et donc de tout effet de serre) n'est pas considérée et l'on traite la température théorique de corps noir comme si elle venait d'une surface idéalisée de la planète. Certains auteurs utilisent d'autres termes, tels température équivalente de corps noir d'une planète ou température de radiation d'émission effective d'une planète.
